We are looking for a highly experienced and driven Senior SAP Project Manager to lead the accelerated 12-month implementation of SAP S/4HANA as part of the transformational program. This program goes beyond a typical ERP rollout - it aims to create a modular, modern technology architecture that improves internal processes and connects SAP to contextual solutions (Contract Management, DMS, HR, etc.). You will be responsible for end-to-end project leadership, ensuring business value delivery, tight control over scope, timeline, and quality, and ultimately the success of the entire ERP transformation.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Project Vision & Strategic Delivery

• Own and communicate the project vision, aligning stakeholders and team members.

• Maintain focus on business value, customer-centricity, and long-term transformation goals.

• Translate program objectives into actionable project phases and clear deliverables.

2. Scope, Planning & Timeline Management

• Define MVP scope with stakeholders and lead scope management.

• Break down the project into realistic phases (Design, BBP, Build, Test, Cutover, Hypercare).

• Ensure strict timeline management and adherence to the 12-month goal.

3. Cross-Team Leadership & Collaboration

• Lead a diverse project team across business, IT, vendor, and partner representatives.

• Define and manage roles, responsibilities, and handovers (RACI matrix).

•  Foster ownership, accountability, and high-performance team dynamics.

4. Vendor & Partner Governance

• Actively manage system integrator (SI) and implementation partners.

• Ensure deliverables, timelines, and quality from all external contributors.

• Monitor contractual adherence and escalate deviations when needed.

5. Quality Assurance & Solution Design Oversight

• Ensure proper review and validation of all outputs (BBP, configurations, test plans, etc.).

• Govern sign-off checkpoints and enforce quality gates.

• Work closely with the Design Authority Board to ensure solution alignment.

6. Risk, Issue, and Change Management

• Identify risks early, assess their impact, and implement mitigation actions.

• Drive change request governance and assess impact on budget and timelines.

• Lead escalation and resolution processes for critical issues.

7. Communication & Stakeholder Engagement

• Serve as the key spokesperson for the ERP program.

• Provide clear, regular updates to executive sponsors, users, and delivery teams. 

• Manage expectations and maintain transparency across all levels.

8. Test, Migration, and Cutover Execution

• Oversee integrated test planning (SIT, UAT), data migration, and cutover readiness.

• Ensure robust preparation for Go-Live and post-Go-Live hypercare.

9. Change Adoption & Enablement

• Collaborate with change managers and functional leads to drive adoption.

• Support training, onboarding, and communication activities.

• Ensure that internal customers are equipped and ready for the change.
