Key Responsibilities

• Establish and manage governance forums, including steering committee, project leadership meetings, workstream meetings, RAID reviews, testing checkpoints, and go/no-go readiness reviews.

• Coordinate functional, technical, data, integration, security, testing, reporting, cutover, change management, and training workstreams.
• Ensure SAP methodology activities are translated into practical execution deliverables, owners, dates, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.
• Partner with business process owners to resolve process design decisions, manage tradeoffs, and enforce fit-to-standard / clean-core principles where applicable.
• Prepare executive-level status reports, steering committee materials, decision memos, risk summaries, and recovery plans.
• Support SI management, including resource planning, deliverable review, performance escalation, invoice/time review, and alignment to statement of work expectations.
• Lead readiness planning for testing, data conversion, integrations, cutover, training, hypercare, and post-go-live support.

• Experience working with system integrators, internal IT teams, and business process owners in a client-facing environment.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguous, high-pressure, deadline-driven transformation environments.
