SAP Project Manager

About the role

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.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the integrated master program plan across SAP, data migration, integration, OCM, security, reporting, testing, cutover, third-party applications, and client-owned workstreams.
• Track the high-level project plan by phase across every major function and application, not only the SAP/SI plan.
• Align all workstreams to the SAP Activate lifecycle, including Prepare, Explore, Realize/Build, Deploy, Go-Live, Hypercare, and Run.
• Maintain visibility into critical path dependencies across SAP, connected applications, source systems, data teams, integration teams, business SMEs, security, OCM, and external vendors.
• Provide exception-based reporting that shows what is on track, late, blocked, at risk, missing ownership, or requiring leadership decision.
• Ensure SAP Cloud ALM is used as the system of record for SAP workstream execution, including SAP deliverables, test plans, defects, phase gate actions, sign-offs, and cutover readiness.
• Ensure SAP and non-SAP workstreams are tracked through Monday.com, Smartsheet, MS Project, or another approved PMIS tool.
• Define and manage the operating rhythm for status updates, workstream reporting, RAID reviews, dependency reviews, decision reviews, and milestone readiness checks.
• Prepare milestone readiness packs for Senior Director / Program Director review, including test status, defect status, data readiness, integration readiness, OCM readiness, security readiness, application readiness, open risks, and unresolved decisions.
• Maintain visibility into application team milestones, dependencies, and readiness; escalate gaps before they impact the SAP critical path.
• Ensure non-SAP teams understand how their deliverables connect to SAP phase gates, testing windows, cutover, and go-live readiness.
• Manage cross-application dependencies between SAP and platforms such as Salesforce, CPQ, Procore, Workday, Snowflake, reporting tools, security platforms, and other connected systems.
• Own cutover plan mechanics, including task sequencing, ownership, timing, dependencies, fallback steps, and command center structure.
• Prepare the go/no-go readiness package for approval.
• Manage the Hypercare operating cadence with structured issue triage, SLA tracking, escalation, and closure reporting in SAP Cloud ALM.
• Track SI delivery against SOW milestones, SAP Activate deliverables, sprint commitments, quality gates, testing readiness, data migration responsibilities, integration deliverables, and cutover commitments.
• Challenge SI and vendor status where it does not align with actual progress, dependencies, defects, deliverables, or readiness evidence.
• Maintain the integrated RAID log, decision log, and dependency tracker across SAP and non-SAP workstreams.
• Track risks and issues by workstream, owner, due date, business impact, milestone impact, and escalation path.
• Escalate scope changes, budget impacts, business process tradeoffs, go/no-go decisions, SI commercial issues, major resource conflicts, unresolved architecture decisions, and any issue threatening phase readiness or critical path.

Qualifications

• 10–15 years of ERP project or program management experience, preferably on the client/owner side.
• 2-5 years experience managing SAP S/4HANA implementation programs, SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud using SAP Activate.
• Hands-on experience with SAP Cloud ALM for SAP delivery tracking, testing, defects, sign-offs, and readiness management and SAP Signavio or similar.
• Experience managing integrated ERP plans across SAP, data migration, integration, OCM, third-party applications, security, reporting, and business readiness.
• Experience using Monday.com, Smartsheet, MS Project, Jira, Planview, or similar PMIS tools.
• Strong understanding of data migration execution, including extraction, mapping, transformation, loading, validation, reconciliation, mock loads, and cutover data loads.
• Strong understanding of integration workstream management, including interface scope, ownership, middleware dependencies, test sequencing, defects, and cutover activation.
• Proven SI delivery management — challenged vendor plans, documented delivery gaps, and escalated issues using SOW milestones and evidence.
• Strong RAID, dependency, critical path, issue escalation, and executive reporting discipline.

Skills

• PMP, SAP Activate certification, or equivalent ERP delivery experience preferred.
