* Strong understanding of clean-core principles.
* Experience managing scope, schedules, milestones, dependencies, resource plans and critical paths.
* Hands-on ownership of project budgets, forecasts, financial tracking, revenue recognition, margins and burn rates.
* Experience with RAID management, change control, escalation and risk-mitigation processes.
* Experience leading steering-committee meetings, phase-gate reviews and go/no-go decisions.
* Strong experience managing cross-functional SAP teams, system integrators and onshore/offshore delivery models.
* Hands-on experience governing SIT, UAT, defect management, cutover, go-live, hypercare and transition to AMS.
* Executive-level stakeholder management and C-suite communication skills.
* Experience with SOW preparation, effort estimation, delivery-cost modelling and commercial change requests.
* Working knowledge of SAP FI/CO, MM, SD, PP and WM/EWM sufficient to evaluate estimates, dependencies and solution-design decisions.
* Strong understanding of SAP SD/Order-to-Cash, including sales orders, pricing, delivery, billing and integration with MM, WM/EWM and FI/CO.
* Experience with Agile, Waterfall and hybrid delivery methodologies.

Tools and Technology:

* MS Project, Jira, Azure DevOps or Smartsheet
* SAP Cloud ALM, SAP Solution Manager or equivalent
* SAP Signavio exposure preferred
* Awareness of SAP BTP, integration architecture and cloud extensibility
* Familiarity with RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP delivery models
