• Support change management processes and promote effective adoption of SAP solutions across business units.
• Coordinate and lead system integration testing (SIT), user acceptance testing (UAT), and training activities.
• Drive proper documentation and governance practices, including reports, dashboards, meeting minutes, and change logs.
• Contribute to the establishment of best practices as we evolve into a COE.
• Provide both project-based and ongoing post-go-live support to ensure operational continuity.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of SAP architecture and integration points, including third-party interfaces.
• Experience with or knowledge of SAP cloud migration projects is a strong asset.
• Demonstrated ability to balance project delivery with operational support responsibilities.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Proficiency in project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Jira, or similar).
• Ability to work in a hybrid delivery model, blending agile and waterfall approaches as needed.
