Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Mainframe COBOL-to-SAP S/4HANA Migration Architect with deep hands-on expertise in IBM z/OS, Enterprise COBOL, JCL, and legacy data migration. The ideal candidate must have successfully completed at least one end-to-end migration from an IBM mainframe environment to SAP S/4HANA or SAP ECC.

This role requires strong technical leadership across legacy application discovery, COBOL code analysis, business rule extraction, SAP fit-gap assessment, data extraction and transformation, migration architecture, and reconciliation.

Key Responsibilities

Lead discovery and assessment of IBM z/OS mainframe environments, including COBOL programs, copybooks, JCL, CICS, VSAM, Db2, and IMS.
Analyze legacy COBOL code to identify business rules, calculations, validations, dependencies, and data transformations.
Conduct fit-gap assessments between legacy applications and SAP S/4HANA standard processes.
Design data extraction and migration strategies from VSAM, sequential files, Db2, and IMS into SAP S/4HANA.
Decode EBCDIC data, COMP-3 packed decimals, binary fields, REDEFINES, OCCURS DEPENDING ON, and complex record layouts.
Map legacy data to SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit objects and templates.
Define data cleansing, transformation, validation, and reconciliation procedures.
Lead mock migrations, data quality reviews, cutover planning, and production migration readiness.
Develop technical specifications, application dependency maps, and source-code traceability documentation.
Collaborate with SAP functional architects, data engineers, mainframe operations, security teams, and enterprise stakeholders.
Present migration strategies, technical risks, and architecture recommendations to clients and leadership.

Required Skills and Qualifications

15+ years of hands-on IBM z/OS mainframe development, maintenance, and architecture experience.
Strong expertise in Enterprise COBOL, JCL, JES2, and TSO/ISPF.
Hands-on experience with CICS, Db2 for z/OS, SQL, DCLGEN, VSAM, IDCAMS, and batch scheduling tools such as Control-M, IWS/TWS, or CA-7.
Proven experience with EBCDIC encoding, packed decimal, binary data, copybooks, and complex mainframe file structures.
Mandatory: At least one completed end-to-end mainframe-to-SAP S/4HANA or SAP ECC migration as an architect or technical lead.
Practical experience in legacy discovery, COBOL analysis, fit-gap assessment, data extraction, transformation, SAP data mapping, and reconciliation.
Working knowledge of SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, migration objects, staging, and data validation.
Familiarity with SAP Finance, Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, or relevant industry processes.
Strong analytical, documentation, communication, and client-facing presentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with IMS DB/DC, PL/I, assembler, REXX, or Natural/Adabas.
Familiarity with IBM ADDI, Z Understand, Rocket Enterprise Analyzer, Zowe, z/OS Connect, and IBM MQ.
Experience with Cobrix, JRecord, Python, or SQL for mainframe data decoding and reconciliation.
Background in banking, financial services, insurance, or utilities.
Knowledge of SAP Activate and SAP S/4HANA migration methodologies.
Experience with AI-assisted mainframe modernization or mainframe-to-Oracle Cloud ERP migrations.

Important Screening Criteria

IBM z/OS experience is mandatory; IBM i/AS400 experience alone will not qualify.
Strong hands-on COBOL and JCL skills are required.
Candidates with only mainframe support, maintenance, or interface development experience alongside an SAP implementation will not qualify.
Candidates must demonstrate direct involvement in a completed end-to-end mainframe-to-SAP migration.
