The Opportunity
To provide senior project management leadership for an assigned SAP S/4HANA workstream within the wider S/4HANA Programme. Reporting into the S/4HANA Programme Manager, the role will be responsible for shaping, planning, and delivering a complex SAP-enabled workstream to agreed scope, time, cost, quality, and business outcomes, working closely with business workstream leads, SAP functional and technical teams, data, integration, testing, change, cutover, and third-party delivery partners.
What You Will Be Doing
- Take responsibility for the definition, documentation, planning, and successful delivery of an assigned S/4HANA workstream or project.
- Create and maintain detailed project plans, milestones, assumptions, dependencies, RAID logs, resource needs, budgets, and delivery options, aligned to the integrated S/4HANA Programme plan.
- Work closely with the S/4HANA Programme Manager to ensure workstream scope, delivery status, risks, issues, and dependencies are visible, accurate, and escalated where required.
- Coordinate activity across SAP functional and technical teams, business process owners, supply chain stakeholders, integration, data, testing, cutover, change, and third-party delivery partners.
- Manage project resources, budget assumptions, financial forecasts, and delivery progress, ensuring accurate reporting through Planview and agreed Programme governance routes.
- Ensure appropriate governance, quality controls, and change control are applied to protect scope, cost, timescale, quality, benefits, and business readiness outcomes.
- Support evaluation of technical and process options, ensuring decisions are aligned to RS Group technology strategy, SAP S/4HANA design principles, and business operating model outcomes.
- Manage vendor and systems integrator delivery dependencies, ensuring actions, deliverables, decisions, and escalations are clearly owned and progressed.
- Prepare clear workstream reporting, SteerCo input, decision papers, and escalation summaries for senior stakeholders as required.
- Ensure workstream outcomes are formally closed, transitioned into BAU, and reviewed, with lessons learned captured and improvement actions agreed.
