Role Objective

Lead the successful end-to-end delivery of data migration for the assigned SAP S4E rollout cluster within a major international transformation programme. Ensure that business data is cleansed, enriched, reduced, migrated, and validated accurately from SAP ECC6 into the target SAP S/4HANA environment. Create clear ownership, readiness, and delivery alignment across local business teams, Data Stewards, Master Data Governance, and the central Data Migration Factory.

Key Responsibilities

Tasks

• Develop and maintain a detailed project plan covering every data migration activity for the rollout cluster.

• Agree data object scope, source systems, and accountabilities with Master Data Governance, the Data Migration Factory, and local Data Stewards.
• Oversee cluster-level data cleansing, closure, reduction, and enrichment to ensure data is accurate, complete, and migration-ready.
• Validate migration tooling and infrastructure and finalise the agreed migration strategy and data object migration documentation.
• Lead data extraction, transformation, and loading activities into the target SAP S/4HANA environment.
• Monitor migration execution continuously against the plan and agreed data-quality standards.
• Identify and resolve data, tooling, and process issues while minimising disruption to local business operations.

• Escalate material data-quality issues, resource constraints, delivery dependencies, and risks to migration readiness, go-live, or business continuity.

Requirements

• Proven experience leading SAP data migration workstreams within large, complex implementation or transformation programmes.
• Essential experience migrating data from SAP ECC6 to SAP S/4HANA, ideally within an SAP S4E or comparable global-template rollout.
• Strong practical knowledge of SAP data cleansing, closure, reduction, enrichment, migration, reconciliation, and validation.
• Experience developing detailed migration plans and managing scope, milestones, dependencies, risks, readiness, and go-live activities.
• Sound understanding of extraction, transformation, and loading processes, migration tooling, test cycles, and data-quality controls.
• Experience defining data object scope, ownership, source systems, and migration strategies with governance and business stakeholders.
• Proven ability to coordinate Master Data Governance functions, Data Migration Factory teams, local Data Stewards, and business leads.
• Track record of delivering projects within large organisations and working effectively across multinational and multicultural teams.
• Strong stakeholder management, communication, and reporting skills, with the ability to connect central programme requirements to local business needs.
• Structured, proactive, and delivery-focused approach, with the judgement to resolve complex migration issues while protecting data integrity and compliance.
• Able to work on site in Lincoln two to three days per week and undertake international travel when required; power-generation experience is advantageous but not essential.
