SAP R2R Project Manager

Position Title: SAP Record-to-Report (R2R) Project Manager

Focus: Non-technical business delivery leader — no configuration, data mapping, or technical troubleshooting

Position Purpose

Function as a non-technical business delivery leader for Record-to-Report initiatives. Own project governance, timeline execution, and finance business alignment — managing delivery teams and implementation partners, but never hands-on system work.

Core Responsibilities

• Project Governance & Delivery: Own the end-to-end lifecycle — timelines, milestones, resource allocation, and budget tracking using SAP Activate, Agile, or Waterfall.
• Stakeholder & Change Management: Act as primary liaison between finance executives (CFOs, Controllers, FP&A) and technical implementation/config partners.
• Scope & Risk Management: Guard against scope creep, proactively mitigate risks, and clear blockers impacting financial workstreams.
• Vendor & Partner Management: Oversee external SIs/consulting firms on deliverables, SLAs, and staffing metrics.
• Business Readiness: Drive UAT sign-offs, training programs, and data migration readiness from a business validation standpoint.

Key Qualifications

• Experience: 8+ years of formal project management leading large-scale ERP or finance transformation initiatives, including full-lifecycle SAP implementations.
• Domain Awareness: Strong conceptual knowledge of the R2R lifecycle (General Ledger, Fixed Assets, Financial Closing, Group Reporting).
• Credentials: PMP or equivalent project management certification highly preferred.
• Leadership: Proven executive presentation, budget management, conflict resolution, and cross-functional team leadership.
