Your new role

The SAP ERP S/4HANA Technical Implementation and Cutover Project Manager is responsible for leading the planning, coordination, and execution of the technical cutover and implementation for the Modern ERP Program (S/4HANA).

  • 10+ years of technical project management experience, with proven expertise in managing ERP cutover planning, data migration, system readiness, and deployment across multi-phase SAP S/4HANA implementations.
  • Proven capability in managing large-scale ERP cutovers, including system decommissioning, legacy data transition, and hyper-care operations, ensuring minimal disruption to business operations and service continuity.
  • Deep expertise in SAP landscape management and integration across SAP modules and external interfaces such as middleware, third-party applications, and cloud-based services.
