You will take ownership of a portfolio of SAP projects on the business's current SAP ECC platform, delivering roll-outs and improvements across its sites. The role takes over from an experienced project manager who is moving onto another programme internally, so you will benefit from a structured handover.

You will manage your projects independently, from scoping and planning through to delivery and closure, reporting to a Project Board and working closely with the business, IT and external partners.
