About this role
SAP Project Manager
The SAP Project Manager manages the integrated execution plan for the SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud implementation and all dependent workstreams required for successful delivery. This includes SAP functional workstreams, integration, data migration, OCM, security, reporting, testing, cutover, third-party applications, source systems, vendors, and client-side readiness.
This role is not limited to managing the SAP S/4HANA project plan. The SAP Project Manager ensures that all SAP and non-SAP teams are synchronized to the overall SAP project lifecycle, phase gates, milestones, testing windows, data migration cycles, integration dependencies, cutover activities, and go-live readiness requirements.
SAP-specific delivery, testing, defects, phase gates, and readiness will be managed in SAP Cloud ALM. Non-SAP application workstreams, third-party vendors, integration dependencies, data migration activities, OCM milestones, and client-side execution will be tracked in approved Project Management tool. The SAP Project Manager maintains one integrated view of program status, risks, dependencies, decisions, and readiness across these tools.
The role reports delivery status, risks, unresolved decisions, and readiness evidence to the Senior Director of ERP Modernization. The SAP Project Manager manages the execution control layer — integrated schedule, RAID, dependency tracking, readiness evidence, quality gate tracking, and SI delivery follow-up — across SAP and dependent workstreams. Enterprise transformation outcomes, business adoption, benefits realization, scope tradeoffs, and go/no-go approval remain with the Senior Director, Program Director, and executive sponsors.
