Senior SAP S/4HANA Project Manager

Our North America based client is seeking an experienced Senior SAP Project Manager to join their project immediately and will run until July 2027, with possibility of an extension. The ideal candidate should have extensive project management experience leading SAP custom development and integration programs end-to-end, with a proven ability to take ownership of delivery from sprint planning through SIT, UAT, and business integration testing. This will be a fully remote work setting working on UK Time Zone.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and hold the delivery team accountable, managing the US- and India-based team (developers, data leads, integrators), following through on blockers such as platform configuration dependencies, and ensuring the team is definitively ready for the November 16th development start.
• Own end-to-end delivery of the Traceability workstream, driving planning, execution, and tracking from sprint planning through SIT one, SIT two support, UAT, and business integration testing, working one to two months ahead of the team at all times.
• Serve as the primary customer-facing PM, be present and visible in customer meetings, manage UK-based global stakeholders, rebuild trust after the existing escalation, and communicate clearly to the right audience the first time.
• Coordinate with the Hold and Release PM to align on overlapping objects and integrations between the two signed projects, preventing duplication, gaps, and conflicting priorities.
• Manage schedules, milestones, deliverables, and travel planning proactively, building and maintaining agendas, milestone plans, and on-site travel logistics (including the first-week-of-December on-site visit) without waiting to be directed.
• Track and report progress against the fixed-bid SOW, monitoring hours and scope across the Traceability solution (SAP Digital Manufacturing, S/4HANA Process Orders, QM Inspection Lots, and BTP services including HANA Cloud, Datasphere, SAC, and Integration Suite), managing the taper from full-time delivery into support mode through November.
• Drive risk, issue, and dependency management, escalating early, resolving repeated-instruction and restart-from-zero problems, and ensuring clear, consistent communication across the delivery team, the customer, and the delivery executive.
