Olberding Brand Family | Cincinnati, OH | Onsite | 12-15 month contract position

Position Summary

Our client Olberding Brand Family is preparing for an enterprise implementation of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) and is seeking an experienced SAP Implementation Project Manager to lead overall project governance and execution. This individual will partner closely with Olberding's CFO, IT leadership, SAP technical leadership, business process owners, and implementation partners to ensure the program remains aligned to scope, schedule, budget, risks, dependencies, and business objectives.

The ideal candidate has personally helped lead one or more SAP S/4HANA implementations and brings enough SAP/ERP depth to proactively identify implementation risks and dependencies without needing to serve as the project's technical architect.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the integrated SAP implementation plan across business, technology, and third-party workstreams.
• Manage project schedule, scope, budget, dependencies, risks, issues, and decision tracking.
• Establish and maintain project governance, including status reporting, RAID management, executive updates, and steering committee materials.
• Partner closely with the CFO and IT leadership to maintain alignment between business priorities and implementation execution.
• Coordinate internal business process owners, SAP technical resources, consultants, and external implementation partners.
• Drive accountability for project milestones, action items, cross-functional dependencies, and vendor commitments.
• Identify risks or potential schedule/budget impacts early and facilitate resolution and escalation.
• Coordinate major implementation phases including discovery/fit-to-standard, configuration, integrations, data migration, testing, cutover, go-live, and hypercare.
• Help establish clear decision rights and ownership across business and technical workstreams.
• Track implementation resources, project financials, and vendor commitments against plan.
• Facilitate executive-level communication regarding project health, risks, decisions, and upcoming milestones.
• Support organizational readiness and transition planning as business processes move from the legacy ERP environment into SAP.
• Partner with SAP technical leadership to ensure technical milestones and dependencies are incorporated into the broader program plan.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of enterprise ERP project or program management experience.
• Demonstrated experience leading, or playing a significant PM/program leadership role in, at least one end-to-end SAP implementation.
• Strong preference for SAP S/4HANA implementation experience.
• Experience managing programs across business stakeholders, IT teams, consultants, and third-party implementation partners.
• Demonstrated ownership of project plans, budgets, RAID logs, executive reporting, milestones, and cross-workstream dependencies.
• Experience coordinating implementation phases such as data migration, testing/UAT, cutover, go-live, and hypercare.
• Ability to understand SAP concepts, workstreams, and technical dependencies well enough to effectively challenge teams and identify risk.
• Strong executive communication and stakeholder-management skills.
• Ability to work onsite with Olberding stakeholders in the Cincinnati area.

Preferred Qualifications

• SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition experience.
• Familiarity with SAP Activate methodology.
• Exposure to SAP BTP and enterprise integration workstreams.
• Experience with SAP Cloud ALM or similar implementation/project-management tooling.
• Multiple SAP implementations, including at least one greenfield implementation.
• Experience serving as the client-side PM/program manager rather than solely working for a systems integrator.
• Experience working alongside a major systems integrator or SAP implementation partner.
• Finance, procurement, sales, manufacturing, or project-based business-process transformation experience.
