Role purpose

• Provide single‑point accountability for the planning, governance and successful delivery of multi‑workstream SAP programmes (S/4HANA, cloud ERP, integrations, data migration, testing, cutover and hypercare).
• Act as the primary interface between executive sponsors, business process owners, IT leadership and external systems integrators.
• Shape the operating model, governance cadence and delivery approach for SAP transformations across finance, supply chain, manufacturing and shared services.

Key responsibilities

• Lead end‑to‑end SAP implementation and transformation programmes, from initial assessment and roadmap definition through design, build, integration testing, deployment and post‑go‑live stabilisation.
• Orchestrate multiple interconnected workstreams (functional, technical, data, integration, change management, training) and manage dependencies across SAP and the broader enterprise application landscape.
• Establish programme governance, integrated master schedules, milestone plans, decision forums and executive reporting; drive disciplined RAID (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies) management.
• Partner with business and technology leaders to prioritise scope, manage expectations and ensure delivery aligns with strategic goals and compliance requirements.
• Coordinate and hold accountable internal teams, vendors and large consulting partners against commitments, milestones, deliverables and quality standards.
• Oversee programme financials, resource planning, budgets and delivery performance; manage scope changes and resource constraints proactively.
• Drive collaboration among business stakeholders, IT, SAP teams, external consultants and executive sponsors to maintain momentum and resolve cross‑functional blockers.
• Lead implementation readiness, cutover planning, go‑live execution and transition to steady‑state operations and continuous improvement.
• Provide clear, executive‑level communication on programme health, accomplishments, risks, decisions and upcoming milestones.

Profile & experience

• 10+ years of overall IT and programme‑management experience, with at least 10+ years leading large, complex SAP programmes (S/4HANA, ECC, cloud ERP, integrations).
• Proven track record delivering multi‑country or multi‑site SAP transformations in manufacturing, distribution, consumer, industrial or related sectors.
• Deep understanding of SAP S/4HANA, ECC, integration patterns, data migration, testing strategies and cutover/hypercare best practices.
