The role requires your significant experience of portfolio and project planning processes, techniques and methodologies in multi-disciplinary and commercial environments, as well as an in-depth understanding of strategic business objectives and complex organisational structures. MSP Practitioner/Advanced certifications and recognised Project Management qualifications (SAP Activate or MSP) will be a great asset.

You will be leveraging your excellent people skills to create an environment in which our SAP Consultants enjoy their work and deliver great results, and use your experience to ensure that the business makes appropriate decisions in implementing change.
What you'll be doing:
- Guiding clients through SAP enabled transformations across the end to end programme lifecycle
- Collaborating closely with SLT and BU leads to drive business growth.
- Providing thought leadership in SAP technologies, directing/ mentoring resources across projects and will be targeted on growing the practice
- Analysis of the project requirements, definition of the deliverables and contribution to the definition of the business case and of the financial modelling.
- Ensuring that project governance is followed and accurate reporting and data is delivered to the stakeholders
- Identification, procurement and management of the appropriate contracts and resources, including cross-functional, third-parties and divisional resources.
- Implementation of a consistent programme / portfolio management methodology ensuring that the project teams conform to appropriate governance.
- Implementation of structured development and performance management programmes for the team including objective setting, regular reviews, feedback and training.
What experience you'll bring:
- In addition to having successfully operated as an SAP Lead or Programme manager for 5-7 years (and therefore 15 years+ in SAP), you will have strong product and application knowledge across the SAP Portfolio, as well as business process and SAP Functional background (Finance, Procurement, Sales or Production)
- You will be both extremely client focused with an ability to guide a business through complex change and have proven C-Suite relationship management skills negotiating at high levels
- You will have Greenfield S/4 HANA experience, managing complex architectures and experienced in driving simplification.
- Current connections with SAP Hyperscalers and other partner organisations would be fantastic and any experience of SAP pre-sales would also be desirable too along with a strong understanding of the SAP Activate Methodology
