I am working with a global consultancy supporting a high‑profile UK Government transformation programme, and are seeking an experienced SAP UX Lead to take ownership of the end‑to‑end user experience across SAP systems.
This is a senior, hands‑on UX leadership role, not a delivery‑only or purely visual UX position. You will act as the UX authority across SAP Fiori applications, ensuring services are intuitive, consistent, accessible, and compliant with Government and GDS standards.

What you'll be responsible for

* Owning the end‑to‑end UX strategy across SAP Fiori and related UI frameworks
* Setting and enforcing UX standards, patterns, and consistency across SAP applications
* Ensuring all solutions meet WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards
* Working closely with business stakeholders, BAs, architects, developers, and end users
* Translating complex SAP processes into simple, usable user journeys
* Reviewing and improving existing SAP UX where needed
* Confidently explaining and defending UX decisions in a public‑sector environment

What I am looking for

* Proven experience as a SAP UX Lead or Senior UX Consultant on SAP programmes
* Strong experience with SAP Fiori Elements, SAPUI5, and Fiori Launchpad
* Demonstrable experience delivering accessible, WCAG‑compliant digital services
* Experience working in UK Government or highly regulated public‑sector environments
* Comfortable leading UX, influencing stakeholders, and setting direction

Important to note

This role is not suitable for purely technical SAP developers, solution architects without UX ownership, or junior UX designers. We are looking for someone who can own and lead UX across SAP, particularly within a government context.
If this sounds like you, please send across a CV clearly demonstrating your SAP UX leadership, accessibility experience, and public‑sector delivery.
