We are seeking a visionary Product Owner and Transformation Leader to spearhead the evolution of our SAP S/4HANA environment. Please note we are not looking for a traditional SAP Manager.
Moving away from legacy, project-led models, you will have the mandate to build and lead a best-in-class Center of Excellence (COE) from the ground up. This is a high-visibility role with strong executive backing to transition our shared services into a modern, agile, and product-led powerhouse.
Responsibilities:
- Build & Lead: Define the operating model, governance, and standards for a new S/4HANA COE.
- Strategy & Roadmap: Own the business-aligned roadmap and prioritized backlog, focusing on measurable value rather than just "going live."
- Stakeholder Influence: Position SAP as a trusted, strategic platform by building strong engagement across the business.
- Agile Evolution: Implement multi-speed delivery models to significantly improve speed-to-value.
- Cultural Leadership: Shift team behaviours from traditional IT support to proactive, product-led ways of working.
Requirements:
- The Visionary: You have a proven track record leading SAP environments (ideally S/4HANA) as a Product Owner or Product Lead.
- The Builder: You have experience transforming or establishing a COE or Shared Services function.
- The Agile Champion: You are an expert in backlog management and moving organizations toward agile delivery.
- The Influencer: You can translate technical capabilities into business value and win the "hearts and minds" of senior stakeholders.
- Note: Deep hands-on configuration expertise is not required; we value your leadership and product mindset over technical "button-clicking."
Why Join Us?:
- Brownfield Project: The opportunity to influence and build a modern COE how you believe it should be run.
- Strategic Impact: Unlock the true value of a major S/4HANA investment for a large-scale organization.
- Executive Support: Work in an environment where transformation is the priority, not a buzzword.
