Description
The Senior UX Designer in this role will support a major enterprise ERP modernization and field service transformation initiative as part of the SAP Plus program. In this role, you will lead the design of user experiences across the transition from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA, alongside the introduction of SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), SAP Work Zone, and mobile field service applications.
Your primary focus will be to design efficient, consistent, and intuitive end-to-end workflows for both office employees and field technicians, leveraging SAP Fiori standards and out-of-the-box capabilities wherever possible. You will work within the constraints of the SAP platform to optimize user flows across applications, reduce manual effort and rework, and minimize customization.
This is a hands-on role requiring strong collaboration with product owners, solution architects, developers, and business stakeholders. You will conduct user research, develop design artifacts (from wireframes to prototypes), and ensure that solutions align to standard SAP design patterns, enterprise UX governance, and business transformation goals. Success in this role will be measured by improved usability, reduced friction in business processes, and strong user adoption of SAP solutions
