Strong change and delivery capability: At least five years of change and release management experience, with the ability to manage medium and large ERP projects, budgets, vendors and offshore delivery partners.

Relevant education and certifications: A Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Information Technology Management or a related discipline. A Master's degree is preferred, alongside SAP certification. PMP or PRINCE2 certification is also preferred.

Global leadership and communication: Strong English language, leadership and communication skills, combined with the ability to build relationships across globally distributed and culturally diverse teams. You will bring a customer and execution focused approach, integrity, analytical thinking and the tenacity to deliver.
