S4 Program Quality & Audit Management Lead (m/f/d)

A Snapshot of Your Day

As S4 Program Quality & Audit Management Lead (m/f/d), you will act as a trusted senior partner to Program Leadership, ensuring that Siemens Energy’s S4E S/4HANA transformation is delivered in a controlled, compliant, and audit‑ready manner. Operating at program‑wide level, you will provide strategic oversight across Program Management, PMO, and Factory Leadership with a strong focus on quality governance, quality gates, evidence management, and audit coordination.

How You’ll Make An Impact

• Support and enforce the S4E Quality Management Framework across rollouts and factories, ensuring consistent application of quality gates, acceptance criteria, definition of done, and documentation.
• Coordinate and track quality gate readiness along PM milestones including completeness of deliverables, closure of open points, and preparedness for formal gate reviews and sign-offs.
• Ensure continuous audit readiness by coordinating structured evidence collection, validation, storage, and traceability, and by supporting internal and external audits in line with IDW PS850 / ISO based quality standards.
• Align quality activities with the Integrated Program Plan (IPP), ensuring that quality gates, audits and acceptance steps are embedded into program planning, rather than treated as downstream or standalone activities.
• Track quality related risks, deviations, and non‑conformities at program level; ensure transparent escalation, mitigation tracking, and management reporting in close alignment with Program leadership and Program Risk Management.

• University degree in Business Administration, Information Technology, Engineering, or a comparable field
• Extensive experience in quality management, audit, PMO, or governance roles within large‑scale IT or ERP transformations
• Proven involvement in SAP S/4HANA programs, ideally in highly regulated, audit‑intensive, or publicly scrutinized environments
• Deep understanding of quality governance frameworks, gated delivery, and audit principles (e.g. ISO 9001, internal IT audits, IDW PS850 or comparable standards)
• Strong track record working with program‑level operating models, including IPP, milestone‑driven delivery, and executive governance structures
• Highly developed analytical, organizational, and stakeholder management skills, with the credibility to challenge and influence senior leaders
