• Drive testing milestones, defect triage, resolution, retesting and business sign-off for material issues, escalating material risks, capacity constraints and decisions as required to support solution readiness for deployment. 

• Apply APAC readiness criteria in alignment with global governance, maintaining an integrated view of regional actions, dependencies, risks, issues and deployment health and providing clear, decision-ready recommendations. 

• Lead APAC deployment, cutover, go-live and stabilization activities in partnership with global program and business leadership, coordinating accountable business and technology owners through transition to business-as-usual operations. 

• Coordinate regional change management and adoption activities, including stakeholder engagement, communications, training and business readiness, with functional and change leads. 

• Work closely with global program leadership to translate strategic priorities, dependencies, milestones and expected business outcomes into APAC execution priorities and plans. 

• Partner with Delivery & Deployment Excellence Leads in other regions to establish and apply common standards, share lessons learned and develop reusable deployment playbooks and best practices. 

• Maintain an integrated view of APAC deployment health and surface material regional and cross-regional risks, dependencies and decisions to program leadership. 

• Monitor post-go-live performance and business outcomes, facilitating timely issue resolution, stabilization and lessons learned to improve future deployments. 

What You’ll Bring

• Typically 8–12 years of relevant experience in enterprise transformation, ERP delivery, business deployment, testing or change execution, including leadership of complex regional delivery.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across functions, cultures, regions and time zones.
