  • Experience implementing governance over SAP data landscapes (e.g., S/4HANA, BW, SAP Data Services).
  • Proficiency in metadata management, data cataloging tools, and classification frameworks.
  • Exposure to cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, or GCP, with a preference for hybrid SAP environments.
  • Ability to drive regional projects and engage with C-level stakeholders across the Middle East.
