Job Description

About the Company

Our client is a global, well-established organization in the middle of a multi-year enterprise SAP  transformation. They are investing in modern business systems and building a PM team focused on hands-on, accountable delivery.   We are looking for mid-level project managers with 4-6 years total project management experience.

*2 Positions (Remote) : Can be Contract to Hire or Contract only (15+ month project).  Benefits available.

Why This Role

The IT Project Managers will own day-to-day delivery of assigned workstreams on a large-scale SAP S/4HANA ERP implementation moving from design into build and testing. Working under the direction of the PMO lead and alongside an experienced system integrator, you will keep your workstream on plan: running the meetings, owning the RAID log, and driving action items to closure. SAP experience is a plus, not a requirement. Solid, hands-on project management on enterprise application implementations is what matters most.

What You'll Do

  • Own project management for assigned ERP workstreams, which may include functional tracks (Finance, Order to Cash, Procure to Pay, Manufacturing) or technical tracks (data migration, security, technical, and testing)
  • Attend and lead workstream stand-ups and working sessions; schedule follow-ups, publish meeting minutes, and track action items to completion
  • Maintain the workstream RAID log (risks, actions, issues, decisions) and follow up with owners to close open items
  • Maintain the project plan in Smartsheet with current status and percent-complete updates
  • Coordinate with business process owners, IT teams, and the system integrator to manage dependencies and deliverables
  • Coordinate test cycles (SIT, UAT) and data migration activities between internal teams and the SI partner
  • Prepare status reports, KPIs, and PowerPoint slides for PMO leadership, and escalate risks at the right time
  • Follow PMO standards, tollgate reviews, and documentation templates; support organizational change management activities

Required Qualifications

  • 4 to 6 years of hands-on project management experience, owning project delivery (not coordination only)
  • Experience managing business application or enterprise software implementations (ERP, CRM, MES, HCM, or similar)
  • Full project lifecycle experience, including requirements, testing, and go-live
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and strong PowerPoint skills
  • Disciplined RAID log management, meeting facilitation, and follow-through
  • Experience working with cross-functional teams, business stakeholders, and external vendors or system integrators
  • Clear written and verbal communication, including concise status reporting
Travel/Work Schedule 

- Domestic and international travel to company sites based on program needs, averaging approximately one week per month; some months may require more travel and others none
- Extended onsite presence during critical program phases (cutover, go-live, and hypercare), potentially up to two consecutive weeks
- Shift-based or extended-hours support may be required during cutover, go-live, and hypercare
- Flexibility in working hours is expected: most weeks will not consistently exceed 40 hours, but additional hours may be needed during critical periods or to meet key deadlines
- Ability to manage your own time and schedule to deliver program commitments on time
- Valid passport, or ability to obtain one

Bonus Skills / Opportunity to Grow

  • SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, or other ERP implementation experience
  • Smartsheet, MS Project, JIRA, or Confluence
  • Testing coordination experience; exposure to Tricentis Tosca, SAP Cloud ALM, or HP ALM
  • Data migration, integration, or legacy system decommissioning experience

If you are an IT Project Manager who likes being close to the work and wants SAP S/4HANA implementation experience on your resume, we want to talk to you.
