About this role
Senior Project Manager / Programme Manager – Business-Led SAP S/4HANA ImplementationAbout the role
We are looking for a senior project/programme manager to lead the next phase of a SAP S/4HANA implementation within a complex industrial operation. The core platform for finance and procurement is already in place – this phase is about designing and implementing the business processes and procedures that will support future industrial operations.
This is a business-led implementation programme. You will design the business processes from the ground up and make sure they are effectively implemented in SAP and connected digital systems. The role is leadership-oriented and business-facing rather than purely technical – the emphasis is on driving process design, coordination and alignment, not on deep SAP specialist expertise.
Scope
The initial focus is the end-to-end Order-to-Cash process:
Sales and order management
Product costing
Logistics and delivery
Commercial processes
Invoicing and settlement
The role also covers related processes:
Procurement
Material handling and inventory transactions
Production-related processes
Quality and material movements
Master data, integrations and interfaces with production-adjacent systems
Responsibilities
- Lead the programme from planning and process design through implementation, testing, deployment and stabilisation.
- Coordinate business functions, process owners, subject matter experts, digital teams, architects, vendors and implementation partners.
- Lead workshops and drive alignment on new business processes and procedures.
- Ensure processes work seamlessly across operations, sales, logistics, procurement, finance and commercial functions.
- Manage scope, priorities, dependencies, risks, decisions, resources and milestones.
- Present progress, risks and recommendations to senior stakeholders and steering committees.
- Ensure data, integrations, testing, training, change management and operational readiness
