About The Role...
If you've successfully led business change within a SAP environment, know how to win over sceptical stakeholders, and can turn transformation plans into real adoption across a business, this could be the role for you.

Cooper Parry is partnering with a major digital transformation client delivering on a significant SAP S/4HANA programme.

What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading change management activity across the Finance domain.
- Assessing business impacts and shaping practical change plans.
- Working closely with Domain Leads and Change Champions to drive engagement and adoption.
- Creating clear, compelling communications that explain what's changing, why it matters and what's expected.
- Building strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels.
- Identifying resistance early and working collaboratively to overcome challenges.
- Supporting training needs analysis and helping ensure users are equipped for go-live.
- Monitoring business readiness and taking action where risks or adoption gaps emerge.
- Acting as the voice of the business within the programme and the voice of the programme within the business.
- Partnering with leadership teams to reinforce new behaviours and ways of working.
