T3 Tech PM - Infra/Basis

Role Overview

We are partnering with a global enterprise organization undertaking a massive ERP transformation from SAP ECC to S/4HANA on RISE. This is a highly specialized, dual-capability role embedded within the SAP Architecture, Integrations & Transversals Design Team.

This is not a generalist PM position. We are looking for a "unicorn" candidate who can seamlessly blend enterprise-scale programme leadership (~70%) with genuine, hands-on SAP Basis and infrastructure depth (~30%). You must be comfortable chairing executive steering committees one hour, and deep-diving into Basis configuration, RISE environment management, and landscape design the next.

Key Responsibilities

Programme Leadership: Own and drive the end-to-end delivery framework for the Infrastructure and Basis workstream, including integrated project plans, RAID management, cutover documentation, and Hypercare plans.

Vendor Management: Independently manage, challenge, and hold accountable multiple tier-one System Integrators (SIs) and technology partners.

Technical Direction: Provide hands-on guidance across SAP Basis configuration, landscape design, and environment builds.

RISE with SAP Ownership: Manage provisioning, hyperscaler landing zone readiness (Azure/GCP/AWS), and multi-instance environment configuration across the entire project lifecycle.

Architecture & Security: Lead HA/DR planning and testing, manage system refreshes and transport management (ActiveControl), and coordinate SAP security and vulnerability management.

Governance: Act as the technical workstream lead's proxy in detailed technical and Basis meetings, holding your own with senior engineers and architects.

Required Experience

10+ years of senior SAP Programme Management experience on complex, global S/4HANA transformations.

Deep SAP Basis Technical Depth: Must possess direct, hands-on knowledge sufficient to pass rigorous technical questioning on SAP infrastructure engineering.

RISE with SAP Expertise: Proven track record in provisioning, configuration, and multi-region landscape management across hyperscalers.

SI Management: Demonstrated ability to independently manage and challenge tier-one SIs at an executive level.

Certifications: PMP or PRINCE2 Practitioner certified.

Desirable: SAP Certified Technology Associate (Basis or HANA), familiarity with Cloud ALM / Solution Manager, and experience within the CPG/FMCG sector.
