To qualify for the role, you must have

• A bachelor’s degree (4-year degree).
• Typically, no less than 4 - 6 years ERP deployment experience.
• Proven experience in executing large SAP implementation procedures.
• Experience in managing site readiness plans and ensuring successful execution.
• Proficiency in developing and executing cutover plans.
• Experience in leading teams.
• A flexibility and willingness to travel to meet client needs; travel is estimated at 40-60%.

Ideally, you’ll also have

• Experience in leading complex technical initiatives.
• A track record of continuous process improvement.
• Strong analytical skills with a focus on innovative solutions.
