SAP S/4HANA Rollout Project Manager

We are a Belgrade-based software engineering firm that partners with international enterprise clients on complex data, analytics, and large-scale transformation initiatives.
We are currently hiring, on behalf of one of our global clients, a SAP S/4HANA Rollout Project Manager to support a major ERP transformation program.

Project Context

This initiative is part of a broad business and IT transformation effort aimed at building a future-ready ERP environment that supports:

• AI-enabled capabilities 🤖
• operational efficiency and excellence
• standardized global business processes

The program involves consolidating the existing SAP landscape and migrating to SAP S/4HANA using a previously established global template.
The rollout will span 23 end-to-end business processes across multiple divisions and regions worldwide.

Role Overview

The successful candidate will join the program as a Rollout Project Manager, responsible for organizing and delivering local rollout activities while maintaining alignment with the global template and governance framework.
This position is delivery-focused and centers on executing rollout activities rather than leading the overall program.

Key Responsibilities

The Rollout Project Manager will take ownership of the following areas:

Rollout Planning

• creating a detailed local rollout plan
• ensuring local activities align with the global program timeline
• coordinating tasks across both business and IT stakeholders

Project Execution

• structuring project phases and defining work packages
• coordinating efforts with:
o Team Leads
o Business Core Team members
o SAP Template organization
o Template SPOCs
o local IT departments

Project Governance

• maintaining the project timeline and detailed execution plan
• monitoring milestones and deliverables
• identifying and managing risks and issues ⚠️

Budget and Reporting

• preparing and tracking the rollout budget
• delivering financial updates and status reports alongside business stakeholders
• producing regular progress reports for Rollout Management

Stakeholder Management

• facilitating communication between business and IT parties
• organizing and supporting Steering Committee sessions
• ensuring decisions are properly recorded and actioned

Implementation Activities

• overseeing rollout of designated end-to-end processes
• coordinating localization needs together with the Business Cluster Manager
• managing testing phases and cutover preparation
• ensuring compliance with S/4HANA template standards and infrastructure rules

Vendor Coordination

• managing external vendors and consultants involved in the rollout

Required Profile

We are seeking candidates with the following background:

Experience

• 8–12+ years of experience in IT project management
• prior involvement in SAP initiatives
• hands-on experience with SAP S/4HANA implementations or rollouts
• track record of delivering full-lifecycle SAP projects

Project Environment

• experience working within global organizations 🌍
• ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams
• familiarity with complex projects involving numerous stakeholders and governance structures

Methodology

• experience operating in Agile environments
• working knowledge of Jira and user-story-based delivery

Skills

• excellent stakeholder management capabilities
• strong communication across multiple organizational levels
• ability to coordinate several teams within large transformation programs

Languages

• fluency in English is required
• German language skills are considered an advantage

Important Note on Seniority

The client is specifically seeking a delivery-focused Rollout Project Manager rather than a strategic transformation leader.
Candidates who are substantially overqualified (for example, transformation directors or global program heads) may not be suitable for this role.

Typical ideal profiles include:
• SAP consultants who moved into project management
• SAP Project Managers with hands-on rollout experience
• ERP transformation delivery managers

Location / Working Environment

• participation in an international project setting
• close collaboration with global teams and partners
• project-based position within a large ERP transformation initiative
