• Strong understanding of SAP S/4HANA implementation lifecycle, SAP Activate methodology, solution design governance, testing, cutover, go-live, hypercare and transition-to-support activities.
• Experience managing blended delivery models involving internal employees, contractors, system integrators, third-party vendors and onshore/offshore teams across multiple time zones.
• Ability to manage resource plans, delivery risks, technical dependencies, quality gates, budget inputs and executive-level status reporting across multiple concurrent workstreams.
• Working knowledge of SAP security, role design, segregation of duties, internal controls, audit evidence and compliance considerations in a regulated enterprise environment.
• Strong executive communication skills with the ability to simplify complex SAP technical topics, frame business implications and drive alignment with senior stakeholders.
• Experience with SAP S/4HANA architecture, clean core principles, extensibility, integration patterns, data migration sequencing, testing strategy and technical cutover planning.
• Demonstrated ability to operate with urgency, structure and judgment in high-ambiguity transformation environments while maintaining delivery discipline and team accountability.

• Coordinate technical cutover planning, mock cutovers, go/no-go readiness, deployment execution, hypercare support and stabilization activities for a controlled transition to the live SAP environment.
• Work closely with internal controls and compliance stakeholders to ensure SAP security, segregation of duties, control design, audit readiness and evidence requirements are embedded into delivery execution.
• Prepare and deliver concise technical status updates, decision recommendations, risk escalations and executive briefings for program leadership, steering committee and senior business stakeholders.
