What you will find with us

As SAP Project Manager, you are the central steering force in SAP transformation projects. You bring end-to-end program management expertise – from project setup and governance through rollout planning, cutover management, and hypercare. You serve as the primary point of contact for senior client stakeholders, and you know how to keep complex, multi-workstream SAP programs on track, on budget, and on scope, even in politically challenging environments.

Responsibilities

Own overall program and project management for SAP transformation engagements (S/4HANA rollouts, system consolidations, RISE migrations), including scope, schedule, budget, risks, and dependencies
Design and implement fit-for-purpose governance models and PMO structures; establish steering committee cadences, escalation paths, and reporting frameworks for C-level stakeholders
Lead rollout planning and coordination across multiple countries, business units, and workstreams (functional, technical, change management, data migration)
Plan and execute cutover management: cutover strategy, go/no-go decision frameworks, mock cutovers, dress rehearsals, and live cutover command
Manage program-level risks, issues, and interdependencies; proactively identify deviations and drive corrective actions
Coordinate system integrators, software vendors, and internal IT teams; manage and challenge external service providers in complex multi-vendor environments
Oversee hypercare phases post go-live: stabilisation planning, ticket management, SLA monitoring, and transition to operations
Develop and maintain project plans, milestone tracking, and status reporting; prepare and present decision papers and program reviews for executive audiences
Contribute to business development: support proposal development, effort estimations, and acquisition activities
