We are looking for strong Sr. Enterprise Architect Oracle/SAP, Agentic AI Practice with demonstrated experience designing and presenting solutions for SAP, Oracle, and JD Edwards. A seasoned techno-functional solution architect with client-facing consulting experience is needed and the candidates should have exposure to AI, automation, and agentic AI experience, will help us reimagine how enterprise work gets done.

This role requires more than standalone AI engineering, chatbot development, data science, platform engineering, or backend development. The ideal candidate combines ERP process expertise with practical AI and automation judgment. Rimini Street has an existing team of AI engineers, designers, and platform resources. What we need now are Solution-focused Enterprise Architects who understand ERP systems and ERP business processes, ERP architecture, integrations, and enterprise transformation.

AI sits on top of the ERP. The role will be embedded with enterprise clients, working remotely, with onsite visits as engagements require.

Position Summary

Reporting to the VP of Innovation and Solution Delivery, the Sr. Enterprise Architect Oracle/SAP, Agentic AI Practice works directly with enterprise clients to understand ERP business process problems and help design modern AI-enabled solutions on top of existing ERP systems.

The right candidate should understand how systems like SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle Cloud ERP, and JD Edwards work in real enterprise environments.

This person should be able to work with business users, process owners, IT teams, ERP teams, architects, and executives to understand how work happens today and how it should work in the future.

The goal is not to replace ERP but to build an intelligent innovation layer over the client’s existing ERP estate using automation, workflows, Agentic UX, AI agents, MCP-style integrations, SAP BTP, SAP Joule, Oracle integration tools, JD Edwards integration patterns, ServiceNow, Azure AI, AWS, Google Cloud, and other enterprise AI platforms where appropriate.

The role is platform-agnostic by design. The solution should fit the client’s environment, not force the client into one platform.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Lead discovery sessions with business users, IT teams, ERP owners, process owners, architects, and executive stakeholders.
• Understand ERP business processes across finance, procurement, order management, supply chain, inventory, manufacturing, maintenance, master data, customer service, reporting, and approvals.
• Map current-state processes, including users, roles, handoffs, approvals, exceptions, reports, spreadsheets, emails, forms, manual work, and ERP touchpoints.
• Identify where the process is broken, where users are working outside the system, where work is delayed, and where automation or AI can create measurable business value.
• Define future-state processes using a practical mix of ERP integration, workflow automation, AI agents, Agentic UX, dashboards, and human-in-the-loop controls.
• Translate business pain points into clear solution requirements, architecture, scope, use cases, success criteria, and delivery plans.
• Design solutions that work with existing ERP systems such as SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, Oracle EBS, Oracle Cloud ERP, JD Edwards, and other systems of record.
• Help define how AI agents should safely read from, reason over, and act on ERP data and transactions.
• Work with AI engineers, integration architects, UX designers, and delivery teams to build prototypes, MVPs, and production solutions.
• Support ERP integration patterns using APIs, BAPIs, RFCs, IDocs, OData, REST services, middleware, JD Edwards Orchestrator, SAP BTP, Oracle integration tools, Rimini Connect, MCP-style tools, and secure integration layers.
• Use SAP BTP, SAP Joule, Oracle integration tools, JD Edwards integration patterns, ServiceNow, Rimini Connect, hyperscaler AI platforms, or custom integration approaches where they fit the client environment.
• Define approval gates, role-based access, audit trails, exception handling, rollback paths, segregation of duties, and governance controls for agentic workflows.
• Build trusted advisor relationships with client business, IT, ERP, data, security, and executive stakeholders.
• Communicate clearly with both technical teams and senior business leaders.
• Support workshops, demos, proposals, solution estimates, delivery plans, UAT, production rollout, and handover to support.
• Stay engaged through cutover and early production, then support a structured handover to the ongoing support team with documentation, runbooks, and knowledge transfer.
• Convert field learnings into reusable ERP plus AI solution patterns, accelerators, reference architectures, and delivery templates.

This is a Principal-level Enterprise Architect role. We are looking for candidates who can operate independently within complex enterprise client environments.

• Experience mapping as-is and to-be business processes.
• Experience translating business requirements into solution architecture and delivery scope.

• JD Edwards experience.
• SAP BTP experience, including SAP Integration Suite, SAP Build, SAP Fiori, CAP, ABAP extensions, APIs, events, workflow, and side-by-side extension patterns.

• Ability to work with AI engineers, integration architects, ERP architects, security teams, UX designers, and delivery teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication across business, technical, and executive audiences.
• Strong consultative and outcome-driven mindset.

• Which transactions, workflows, forms, reports, integrations, and data sources are involved
• Where the process slows down
• Where the exceptions happen

• How to improve the user experience through Agentic UX
• How to measure value and business outcome

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, business systems, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• ERP consulting and real enterprise transformation experience are more important than the degree alone.
