You Are

A seasoned SAP Development Lead with deep hands‑on expertise in SAP ABAP and Core Data Services (CDS) for S/4HANA, who thrives in complex, regulated, and security‑constrained environments. You combine strong technical leadership with the ability to set direction, govern standards, and drive quality across onshore and offshore teams. You bring sharp technical judgement, a delivery‑focused mindset, and the credibility to engage confidently with architects, functional leads, and senior client stakeholders, translating technical complexity into clear outcomes.

The Work

• Lead SAP ABAP and Core Data Services (CDS) development activities for S/4HANA, including detailed technical design, architecture decisions, and hands‑on development.
• Define and enforce CDS View design standards across the development team, including VDM layering conventions (Basic/Interface/Consumption), annotation governance, and access control (DCL) patterns.
• Act as the onshore Development Lead, ensuring all work from QA onward is executed in compliance with clearance requirements.
• Collaborate with offshore development teams and ensure quality, standards, and integration across landscapes including CDS‑based Data services and Fiori back‑end artifacts.
• Lead technical integration design utilizing SAP PO/PI and APIs, including CDS‑exposed OData endpoints where applicable.
• Design and support SAP Fiori applications aligned to user and process needs, leveraging CDS/RAP (RESTful ABAP Programming Model) patterns for transactional and analytical use cases.
• Partner closely with SAP architects, functional leads, testing teams, and client stakeholders.
• Ensure adherence to security, compliance, and delivery standards throughout the lifecycle, including authorization concept implementation via DCL and CDS role‑based access.
• This role requires in‑office presence in the local ATC office 3 days per week.

Here's What You Need

• Bachelor’s degree or completion of a college program in a related discipline
• Minimum 4 years of SAP transformation, technical advisory, or consulting experience or 8 years of equivalent industry experience.
• Minimum 5 years of SAP ABAP development experience, with demonstrated expertise in CDS View development in an S/4HANA context.
• Proven experience designing and governing multi‑layer CDS architectures (VDM‑aligned), including UI and Analytics annotations, associations, and DCL‑based access controls.
• Ability to lead development teams across complex, large‑scale ERP transformations and coordinate onshore/offshore delivery models, including setting CDS and ABAP coding standards for distributed teams.
• Must hold Canadian Secret Clearance or be eligible to obtain clearance prior to start.
• English is required for this position as this role will be aligned to multi‑national teams where English is the common language across our Global Enterprise. Due to the significant high volume of interactions with these English‑speaking multi‑national teams, which is inherent to this position, it is not possible to reorganize the company's activities to avoid this requirement.

Bonus Points If

• Hands‑on experience with the RAP (RESTful ABAP Programming Model) for end‑to‑end transactional app development.
• Exposure to SAP Embedded Analytics or BW/4HANA with CDS‑based analytical models and cube/dimension views.
• Experience integrating CDS data models with SAC for enterprise reporting.
• Experience working with defense or government clients.
• Prior experience supporting secret or restricted environments.
• Strong understanding of SAP end‑to‑end process integration.
• Experience designing and leading technical build in SAP global template programs.
