Job Description
Insight Global is seeking a Senior SAP Project Manager to support an advanced SAP S/4HANA deployment currently moving into unit testing. The project is operating on an aggressive timeline toward go-live, requiring strong coordination across multiple workstreams, including testing, training, data migration, master data, and solution readiness.
This is a deployment-focused role rather than a functional SAP implementation role. The PM will be responsible for keeping each workstream aligned, identifying dependencies and risks, and ensuring key deliverables remain on schedule.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and coordinate SAP S/4HANA deployment activities across multiple project workstreams.
- Track key milestones, deliverables, dependencies, risks, and mitigation plans.
- Identify schedule risks early and drive owners to resolve issues or escalate where necessary.
- Ensure the appropriate resources and stakeholders are engaged across each workstream.
- Lead weekly meetings with workstream leads to review progress, risks, blockers, and upcoming deliverables.
- Prepare and coordinate project governance meetings with senior program leadership.
- Maintain a high-level view of the deployment while understanding how testing, training, data migration, master data, and other activities impact one another.
- Drive accountability across internal teams, stakeholders, and implementation partners.
Must-Haves
- 10+ years of Project Management experience, ideally supporting large-scale ERP/SAP programs.
- Strong experience managing SAP deployments or implementations.
- Experience with SAP S/4HANA strongly preferred.
- Strong understanding of major SAP project workstreams and the dependencies between testing, training, data migration, master data, and solution readiness.
- Proven experience managing aggressive project timelines, risks, governance, escalations, and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Ability to operate at the project-management level rather than as a functional SAP SME.
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience within pharmaceuticals or another highly controlled/regulatory-driven industry.
- Previous experience deploying global SAP templates across countries or business units.
- French language skills are a significant asset but not required.
Vacancy: This posting is for a currently vacant role, and the successful candidate will be hired into an existing open position.
