Senior Project Manager / Programme Manager – Business-Led SAP S/4HANA ImplementationAbout the role
We are looking for a senior project/programme manager to lead the next phase of a SAP S/4HANA implementation within a complex industrial operation. The core platform for finance and procurement is already in place – this phase is about designing and implementing the business processes and procedures that will support future industrial operations.
This is a business-led implementation programme. You will design the business processes from the ground up and make sure they are effectively implemented in SAP and connected digital systems. The role is leadership-oriented and business-facing rather than purely technical – the emphasis is on driving process design, coordination and alignment, not on deep SAP specialist expertise.
Scope
The initial focus is the end-to-end Order-to-Cash process:
- Sales and order management
- Product costing
- Logistics and delivery
- Commercial processes
- Invoicing and settlement
The role also covers related processes:
- Procurement
- Material handling and inventory transactions
- Production-related processes
- Quality and material movements
- Master data, integrations and interfaces with production-adjacent systems
Responsibilities
- Lead the programme from planning and process design through implementation, testing, deployment and stabilisation.
- Coordinate business functions, process owners, subject matter experts, digital teams, architects, vendors and implementation partners.
- Lead workshops and drive alignment on new business processes and procedures.
- Ensure processes work seamlessly across operations, sales, logistics, procurement, finance and commercial functions.
- Manage scope, priorities, dependencies, risks, decisions, resources and milestones.
- Present progress, risks and recommendations to senior stakeholders and steering committees.
- Ensure data, integrations, testing, training, change management and operational readiness are addressed.
- Build alignment and adoption among business stakeholders and end users.
Requirements (must-haves)
- More than 10 years of relevant experience.
- Strong leadership with the ability to make decisions and, above all, orchestrate experts, functions and stakeholders toward common goals.
- Experience leading complex ERP implementation programmes or large-scale business process transformation initiatives.
- Experience designing and implementing processes across multiple business functions.
- Experience with Order-to-Cash, supply chain, manufacturing, logistics or similar operational processes.
- A background in manufacturing, process industry, heavy industry, energy, chemicals, mining or another operationally complex environment.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to engage effectively with C-level stakeholders, business experts and end users.
- Proven change management capabilities that drive alignment and adoption.
- Experience managing implementation partners, risks, dependencies, testing activities and delivery governance.
- A solid understanding of enterprise IT: architecture, integration platforms, software development and testing.
- The ability to navigate ambiguity and establish structure in greenfield environments where processes and responsibilities are created for the first time.
- Willingness to spend significant time on-site in Northern Sweden as well as in Stockholm.
Meritorious
- Experience with SAP S/4HANA (an advantage, but not essential).
- Experience from metals or steel production.
- Experience with end-to-end flows from supply chain and production through to customer fulfilment in complex industrial operations.
This role is likely not a fit if you
- Have experience limited to PMO coordination or administrative project management.
- Have only managed a technical SAP workstream without owning business process design and implementation.
- Lack experience working across multiple business functions.
- Have no background in manufacturing, process industry or another operationally complex environment.
- Are not comfortable leading workshops and facilitating decisions with senior stakeholders.
- Are unwilling to spend significant time on-site in Northern Sweden.
Location
Northern Sweden and Stockholm. The role requires significant on-site presence during the assignment.
