  • Ability to challenge incomplete readiness or unclear ownership constructively and escalate with appropriate context and recommendations.
  • Proactive, curious, and eager to learn, with the judgement to work across unfamiliar business and technology domains and seek specialist guidance when needed.

Responsibilities

  • Engage business leaders, process owners, users, SMEs, and BRMs to understand requirements, business impacts, user needs, local considerations, and measurable success criteria.
  • Coordinate requirements clarification, fit-to-standard discussions, design demonstrations, solution validation, business decisions, and action closure with Product Owners and solution teams.
  • Challenge incomplete readiness, unclear ownership, or partner deliverables constructively and escalate with business impact and practical recommendations.
  • Coordinate delivery-partner commitments, documentation, knowledge transfer, quality expectations, and issue resolution without assuming architecture or line-management accountability.

  • Work with Master Data Management teams, business data owners, integration teams, and partners on data readiness, validation, migration, reconciliation, ownership, and sign-off relevant to deployment.

  • Work with change leads and business teams to assess process, role, control, data, organization, and operational impacts and drive closure of practical readiness actions.
  • Ensure deployment communications are timely, audience-specific, and clear on changes, impacts, required actions, timing, decisions, and support arrangements.
  • Track completeness and acceptance of requirements, process, solution, integration, data, security, test, cutover, training, operating, support, and known-issue documentation.
  • Ensure partners and solution teams complete agreed documentation and knowledge transfer to business and sustainment teams.
  • Coordinate cutover preparation, rehearsals, readiness reviews, business verification, go-live communications, and command-centre activities.
  • Lead coordination during hypercare, prioritizing issues by business impact and maintaining clear ownership, communication, and stabilization reporting.
  • Coordinate transition to sustainment with accepted documentation, support ownership, procedures, monitoring, known issues, improvement backlog, and escalation paths.
  • Monitor readiness, testing, training, data, documentation, stability, adoption, support trends, stakeholder feedback, and agreed business outcomes.
  • Support benefit tracking and post-implementation reviews with Product Owners, BRMs, Deployment Managers, and business stakeholders.
  • Lead lessons-learned reviews for assigned deployments and improve CoE deployment playbooks, templates, governance, knowledge assets, and reusable practices.
  • Identify process-improvement, automation, self-service, analytics, and approved AI opportunities and progress them through Product Owner and CoE governance.
  • Provide practical coaching and reusable guidance to the junior profile where appropriate.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with SAP or other enterprise applications and multi-market, multi-site, or cross-functional deployments.
  • Experience coordinating UAT, training, change enablement, data readiness, documentation, cutover, hypercare, adoption, and sustainment transition.
