• Coordinate across SAP functional, technical, integration, infrastructure, security, data, testing, and change-management teams.
• Work closely with business stakeholders to understand operational requirements and align project deliverables with programme objectives.
• Manage system integrators, technology partners, subcontractors, and other third-party vendors.
• Establish project governance, reporting standards, escalation procedures, and decision-making processes.
• Prepare and present regular project updates, dashboards, risk reports, and steering-committee materials.
• Facilitate project meetings, workshops, governance forums, and stakeholder discussions.
• Monitor project performance and implement corrective actions where required.
• Manage SAP design, build, testing, data migration, cutover, deployment, hypercare, and transition-to-support activities.
• Ensure that project deliverables meet the required security, audit, documentation, quality, and regulatory standards.
• Coordinate user acceptance testing, operational-readiness activities, training, and business change management.
• Manage project risks relating to integrations, data quality, infrastructure, cybersecurity, business continuity, and deployment.
• Ensure proper documentation, approvals, traceability, and audit readiness throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support knowledge transfer and the transition of the completed solution to the application support or AMS team.

Mandatory Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, Business, Project Management, or a related discipline.
• Significant experience managing SAP implementation or transformation projects.
• Strong understanding of SAP project delivery methodologies and lifecycle activities.
• Proven experience delivering large, complex, and multi-stakeholder enterprise transformation programmes.
• Experience managing cross-functional SAP teams covering functional, technical, integration, infrastructure, data, testing, security, and change-management workstreams.
• Strong project governance, planning, budgeting, risk-management, and vendor-management experience.
• Experience managing senior business stakeholders, project sponsors, steering committees, vendors, and delivery partners.
• Strong understanding of system integration, data migration, testing, cutover, deployment, and post-implementation support.
• Project-management certification such as PMP, PRINCE2, or an equivalent recognised certification.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong analytical, organizational, negotiation, and problem-solving capabilities.
• Ability to manage competing priorities and deliver effectively within a structured and time-sensitive environment.
