• Support pre-work activities, including current-state assessments, gap analysis, data readiness, and process cleanup
• Oversee SAP system enhancements, upgrades, and post go-live stabilization activities
• Ensure alignment between business requirements and SAP solution design
• Govern change management, cutover planning, and user readiness activities
• Monitor KPIs related to SAP system performance, data quality, and process efficiency
• Facilitate workshops, status meetings, and executive steering updates
• Ensure adherence to project governance, documentation standards, and quality controls
• Act as an escalation point for project issues and risks, ensuring timely resolution
• Coordinate as needed with adjacent Oracle ERP environments during transition or assessment phases

• PMP or equivalent project management certification
