Airbus is embarking on its most significant industrial evolution yet: Project Sparrow. As we absorb Spirit AeroSystems, our objective is to integrate this complex business into the core Airbus organization while safeguarding the daily continuity of operations and the global supply chain amidst massive production ramp-ups.

Central to this monumental effort is our Airbus Resources Planning (ARP) program, replacing hundreds of legacy tools with a unified SAP S/4HANA digital ecosystem. To steer us into the future, we are seeking a visionary Project Leader / Deployment Manager who combines deep, battle-tested change management expertise with a forward-thinking mastery of digital and AI technology.

HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE TEAM

  • Strategic Leadership & Roadmap Integration: Shape the ARP strategy to integrate SAP S/4HANA solutions into the long-term roadmap. Partner with the D&IM team to align strategic direction, and continuously update themes to guide the execution of projects and decommissioning.
  • End-to-End Project & Financial Governance: Manage all business activities across SAP S/4HANA projects through their full lifecycle. Secure quality, delivery, and financial targets (P&L) while actively managing risks, resource allocation, and the Make-or-Buy strategy.
  • Methodology, Execution & Standards: Implement the SAP Activate methodology and enforce a strict governance framework to limit SAP Standard deviations close to 0%. Benchmark continuous improvements and drive Security-by-Design compliance.
  • Stakeholder Management & Change Leadership: Coordinate a diverse, senior stakeholder panel across various functions and countries. Drive cultural change to shift organizational mindset toward embracing SAP Standard without customization, and champion a NextGen operating model for digital transformation.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
