Strategy Leader CRM or SAP Transformation (1099) Multiple Openings | Houston, TX | Hybrid | 12-Month 1099 Contract | $140–$150/hour The Opportunity ElevationHR is recruiting multiple Strategy Leaders (IT) for a major regulated Energy & Utilities organization undergoing significant enterprise technology and business transformation. We are seeking accomplished technology leaders with strong depth in either CRM/customer transformation OR SAP/enterprise applications. You do not need to be an expert in both. This is not a traditional project-management role. You will work directly with senior business and technology leaders to take complex, sometimes partially defined problems and turn them into actionable strategies, enterprise solutions, and measurable business outcomes. Success means more than developing a roadmap or reaching go-live—you will help shape the solution, challenge assumptions, influence stakeholders, drive adoption, and remain connected to the value ultimately delivered. If you enjoy operating where business strategy, technology, data, process, and transformation intersect, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful enterprise-level impact. What You’ll Do * Lead enterprise strategy and transformation initiatives across CRM/customer technology, SAP/ERP, or enterprise applications, depending on your expertise. * Translate business challenges into technology strategies, roadmaps, investment priorities, and executable solutions. * Own initiatives across the lifecycle: current-state problem → strategic decision → solution → implementation → adoption → measurable value. * Partner with Directors, VPs, executives, enterprise architects, engineering, data, cybersecurity, product teams, and systems integrators. * Challenge SI/vendor recommendations, architectures, processes, or technology decisions when they do not support the desired business outcome. * Navigate ambiguity, competing priorities, and evolving requirements while maintaining execution momentum. * Establish meaningful KPIs and connect technology investments to customer, operational, financial, productivity, risk, or service outcomes. * Communicate complex technology and business issues clearly to both executive and technical audiences. What You’ll Bring * Significant experience in enterprise technology strategy, digital transformation, business transformation, or enterprise applications. * Strong expertise in at least one of the following: * Demonstrated ownership of complex initiatives from strategy through implementation and adoption. * Strong executive communication and stakeholder-management capability. * Ability to operate independently and make sound decisions without waiting for perfect information. * Technical fluency sufficient to collaborate credibly with architects, engineers, data teams, and systems integrators. * Evidence of measurable business outcomes—not simply completed projects. What Would Make You Stand Out * For CRM-focused openings, highly relevant experience may include Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics 365, customer service, contact centers, billing integration, customer data, self-service, digital customer experience, workflow automation, or AI-enabled customer operations. * For SAP-focused openings, highly relevant experience may include SAP S/4HANA, RISE with SAP, ECC modernization, BTP, EAM/Plant Maintenance, Finance, Supply Chain, MM, SD, FICO, master data, data migration, clean core, enterprise integration, or reporting. * Experience within energy, utilities, oil & gas, industrial, manufacturing, critical infrastructure, aerospace, defense, or other highly regulated environments is valuable but not required. What Success Looks Like * You can walk into an ambiguous enterprise problem, quickly understand the current state, identify the real business need, determine the right strategic direction, mobilize the right stakeholders, and stay accountable until the solution is adopted and producing measurable value. * If your background combines strong CRM or SAP transformation experience with strategic thinking, technical credibility, executive communication, and ownership, we encourage you to apply even if you do not match every preferred qualification. #TechnologyStrategy #SAP #S4HANA #CRM #DigitalTransformation #EnterpriseArchitecture #EnterpriseTransformation #Salesforce #SAPJobs #ElevationHR #HoustonJobs #Hiring #HoustonIT #HoustonJobs
