- Defining and tracking project activities, deliverables, and resource needs across the full lifecycle
- Managing scope, risks, issues, and change requests to ensure controlled execution and formal sign-off at key milestones
- Driving stakeholder communication and alignment between SAP, customer, and partner teams
- Overseeing cutover preparation and execution for DMLT scope and ensuring project closure activities are completed

**What you bring**:

- 3-7 years of experience in SAP consulting, or delivery of data migration and transformation projects
- Solid understanding of SAP system landscapes, data migration approaches, and transformation methodologies (ideally within S/4HANA transition programs)
- Proven experience in leading project workstreams or full projects, preferably in multi-country or large-scale SAP transformation initiatives
- Hands-on experience with SAP migration tools and methods (e.g., Migration Cockpit, Data Services) is a strong plus
- High-level business process understanding across Finance, Logistics, or HR
- Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and presentation skills
- Strong analytical mindset and problem-solving skills
- Fluent in English; additional languages (especially German) are an asset
- High level of self-motivation, ownership, and accountability
- Willingness to travel (10-30%) across EMEA and occasionally globally

**Where you belong**:
You’ll join **Data Management and Landscape Transformation (DMLT)**, a global organization within SAP’s Customer Service & Delivery board area, with more than 500 consultants worldwide. Our mission is to enable customers to intelligently connect people, data, and processes — ensuring data becomes a true asset for innovation and sustainable growth.

DMLT offers a holistic approach to data-related needs, covering data quality, integration, and transformation. We help customers fast-track migrations, manage complex transformations, and optimize processes for SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP Business Data Cloud, and beyond.

You’ll work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment that values innovation, learning, and career progression. Expect exposure to cutting-edge technologies, global projects, and opportunities to shape SAP’s transformation engine.

**Bring out your best**

**We win with inclusion**
SAP’s culture of inclusion, focus on health and well-being, and flexible working models help ensure that everyone - regardless of background - feels included and can run at their best. At SAP, we believe we are made stronger by the unique capabilities and qualities that each person brings to our company, and we invest in our employees to inspire confidence and help everyone realize their full potential.
