Job description

Mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, carve-outs and legal entity consolidations all put heavy strain on SAP estates, and IBM Consulting needs this Abu Dhabi project manager to lead the programmes that follow. The work spans large, multi-workstream SAP S/4HANA programmes, whether Greenfield, Brownfield, Selective Transformation or RISE with SAP. Finance, procurement, HR, maintenance and sales processes often need harmonising across multiple legal entities and more than 200 users. Delivery teams are spread across countries and business entities, so governance has to hold firm. Setting up and running the PMO, project controls and quality assurance falls to you. C-level executives, Steering Committees and Boards will rely on your reporting and leadership. Change adoption matters as much as go-live, with applications, integrations, data and processes kept aligned to measurable outcomes on time and on budget. Candidates need 15+ years of SAP project or programme management, including 8+ years leading large-scale SAP transformations and 2-3 programmes tied to mergers, acquisitions or entity consolidation. PMP and SAP Activate Project Manager Certification are mandatory, Oil & Gas, Energy and Utilities or Logistics experience is preferred, and the position is a fixed-term contract based on-site.
