Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Program Manager to support a large-scale, enterprise-wide SAP S/4HANA business transformation within a manufacturing environment.

The ideal candidate brings strong SAP S/4HANA implementation experience, a solid understanding of manufacturing and supply chain operations, and the ability to influence business leaders, IT teams, and external implementation partners.

This is a business-focused program management role, not a hands-on technical SAP or traditional day-to-day project management position.

\n
• Identify, manage, and escalate program risks, dependencies, and cross-functional challenges.
\n
• Drive integration between Planning, Procurement, and Source-to-Pay business processes.
\n
• Support business readiness, change management, testing, training, and adoption activities.
\n
• Provide executive-level reporting on milestones, program progress, risks, and business outcomes.
\n

Required Qualifications

\n
• Bachelor's degree and 8+ years of project/program management experience.
\n
• 3–5+ years supporting SAP ERP transformations, including hands-on involvement in SAP S/4HANA implementations.
\n
• Strong understanding of manufacturing operations, supply chain processes, and enterprise business transformation.
\n
• Experience coordinating large-scale ERP initiatives involving business stakeholders, IT teams, and external implementation partners.
\n
• Proven ability to manage integrated program plans, cross-functional dependencies, risks, and executive communications.
\n
• Excellent leadership, stakeholder management, communication, and problem-solving skills.
\n

Preferred Qualifications

\n
• Experience supporting SAP S/4HANA implementations within manufacturing or industrial environments.
\n
• Knowledge of manufacturing, maintenance, warehouse management, transportation, and Source-to-Pay processes.
\n
• Experience working within enterprise PMO governance structures.
\n

Ideal Candidate: A strategic, business-oriented Program Manager who understands SAP S/4HANA transformations, connects multiple operational workstreams, anticipates risks, and drives collaboration across business and technology teams to achieve successful transformation outcomes.
