• Manage project governance, ensuring appropriate reporting, documentation and controls are in place.
• Drive project progress, proactively addressing challenges and removing delivery blockers.
• Maintain strong communication across technical teams, business stakeholders and senior management.

Essential Requirements

• Minimum 5 years' experience as a Senior Project Manager delivering end-to-end SAP projects.
• Strong SAP background, ideally with SAP S/4HANA implementation experience.

• Fluent English, with excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Strong leadership skills and experience coordinating multidisciplinary teams.
• Proactive approach to project management, particularly risk and issue management.
• Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
