We're Kingfisher, A team made up of over 74,000 passionate people who bring Kingfisher - and all our other brands: B&Q, Screwfix, Brico Depot, Castorama and Koctas - to life.

We want to become the leading home improvement company and grow the largest community of home improvers in the world. And that's where you come in.
At Kingfisher our customers come from all walks of life, and so do we. We want to ensure that all colleagues, future colleagues, and applicants to Kingfisher are treated equally regardless of age, gender, marital or civil partnership status, colour, ethnic or national origin, culture, religious belief, philosophical belief, political opinion, disability, gender identity, gender expression or sexual orientation.

This role sits within the SAP Platform team and is responsible for leading SAP integration across the SAP estate at Kingfisher plc. You will oversee how SAP systems connect with each other and with non-SAP platforms, ensuring integrations are designed to the right standards, are secure, reliable, and aligned with long-term architecture plans.
You'll also help modernise the integration landscape, moving from legacy solutions toward more cloud-based, API-led approaches, while working closely with Architecture, Operations, Security, and external partners.
