• Act asL3 escalation point for complex scheduling incidents, perform root-cause analysis, and define preventive measures.
• Collaborate withSAP Basis, Application Owners, and Business stakeholders on landscape changes, release cycles, and business calendars (month-end, year-end, fiscal close).

• Experience schedulingnon-SAP workloads: database jobs (Oracle, SQL Server, HANA), file-based triggers, secure file transfer (SFTP/MFT), custom application workflows.
• Solidautomation and scripting skills: Python, Bash, PowerShell, Java, applied to building, maintaining, and optimizing scheduling workflows.
• Understanding ofworkflow design principles: dependencies, error handling, retries, parameterization, reusability.
• Strongtroubleshooting skills, log analysis, and performance tuning of batch environments.
• Excellent communication skills inEnglish (written and spoken); additional languages are a plus.

Nice to Have
