Executive Program Leader, SAP S/4HANA Transformation

Description: We are seeking an Executive Program Leader to take ownership of a large-scale SAP S/4HANA transformation for a global enterprise organization. This is a high-impact leadership role for a proven transformation executive who can drive accountability, accelerate decision-making, and ensure program success from build and testing through cutover, go-live, and hypercare. Reporting directly to executive sponsors and steering committee leadership, this individual will serve as the independent authority responsible for delivery readiness, technical risk management, and program execution. We can facilitate w2 and corp-to-corp consultants. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.

Direct the SAP S/4HANA program with executive authority, reporting to the executive sponsor and SteerCo. Own program-level build, test, and cutover readiness including defect trends, test coverage, environment availability, interfaces, and data conversions. Manage solution and architecture decision processes and drive escalation and resolution of technical issues. Validate that the technical critical path and plan reflect reality and enforce technical quality gates and exit criteria. Challenge leadership and internal SAP teams when decisions stall or commitments slip and make accountability visible. Pressure-test assumptions, estimates, and technical recommendations on their merits and separate genuine risk from noise. Safeguard design integrity and scope across workstreams and control unresolved scope disguised as design decisions. Lead cutover and go-live readiness and oversee hypercare transition. Communicate status and risks to executive leadership and SteerCo with clarity and consequence-based timelines. Act as a change agent by identifying passive resistance, influencing without authority, and applying authority when required. Provide executive leadership and governance for a complex SAP S/4HANA transformation program. Own program readiness across build, testing, integrations, data migration, environments, and cutover planning. Drive architecture and solution decisions while removing roadblocks and escalating critical issues when necessary. Establish and enforce technical quality gates, deployment readiness criteria, and milestone accountability. Hold internal teams, implementation partners, and stakeholders accountable for commitments and delivery outcomes. Challenge assumptions, timelines, estimates, and recommendations to ensure successful execution. Identify and mitigate program, technical, and organizational risks before they impact delivery. Protect design integrity and manage scope across multiple workstreams. Lead cutover planning, go-live execution, and transition into hypercare support. Communicate program status, risks, decisions, and dependencies to executive leadership and steering committees. Influence stakeholders across all organizational levels and drive transformational change.
