We are partnering with a global enterprise organization undertaking a massive ERP transformation from SAP ECC to S/4HANA on RISE. This is a highly specialized, dual-capability role embedded within the SAP Architecture, Integrations & Transversals Design Team.

This is not a generalist PM position. We are looking for a “unicorn” candidate who can seamlessly blend enterprise-scale programme leadership (~70%) with genuine, hands-on SAP Basis and infrastructure depth (~30%). You must be comfortable chairing executive steering committees one hour, and deep-diving into Basis configuration, RISE environment management, and landscape design the next.
