This is a Hybrid role in either our Delaware or Colorado locations.
SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is becoming a foundational capability for Agilent’s integrations, extensions, automation, data, and future digital solutions, with demand growing across ERP modernization, Global Trade Services modernization, process automation, and platform-based extension strategies. To support this, Agilent is establishing an SAP BTP Technical Lead to provide hands-on technical leadership and help define what an enterprise-scale BTP Center of Excellence (COE) looks like for the organization.
In this role, you will set technical direction, define standards and reusable patterns, establish reference architectures, and ensure security, compliance, and scalability across all BTP implementations. You will also act as a multiplier—mentoring internal resources, growing BTP skills, and enabling product and platform teams to adopt BTP in a consistent, governed way—so Agilent can build lasting internal capability, improve delivery speed and quality, and reduce long-term dependency on external vendors.

Build internal capability by mentoring developers, solution architects, and analysts on BTP initiatives.
Drive consistent documentation, knowledge transfer, and reusable asset creation as part of the COE model.
Innovation & Advanced Capabilities
Enable adoption of modern SAP capabilities on BTP, including workflow, forms, low-code/no-code tooling, AI services, automation, and business eventing.
