SAP Upgrade Project Manager (LATAM)

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead SAP upgrade initiatives (e.g., ECC or S/4HANA version upgrades, SPS/FPS, enhancement packs) for existing SAP landscapes. This role focuses on technical and functional upgrades, not new SAP implementations.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and manage end-to-end SAP upgrade projects, including preparation, execution, testing, and cutover

• Coordinate cross-functional teams (Basis, Functional, ABAP, Security, Testing) across onshore/offshore models

• Manage upgrade timelines, risks, dependencies, and change freezes

• Drive stakeholder communication, status reporting, and executive-level updates

• Ensure adherence to SAP best practices, release management, and validation requirements

Required Experience

• 5+ years of SAP project management experience, with direct ownership of SAP upgrades

• Strong understanding of SAP upgrade cycles (S/4HANA, ECC, SPS/FPS, technical upgrades)

• Experience working with distributed teams in nearshore/offshore (LATAM) delivery models

• Solid background in cutover planning, testing coordination, and defect management

• PMP or equivalent certification preferred; SAP experience required

Nice to Have

• Experience in regulated environments (e.g., life sciences, SOX, GxP)

• Familiarity with SAP AMS or post-upgrade support transitions
