Program Manager

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Program Manager to lead a complex SAP S / 4HANA Financials Greenfield implementation. The program will be delivered using a hybrid agile approach grounded in SAP Activate. You will own end‑to‑end delivery—governance, planning and stakeholder alignment—while navigating tense client–system integrator dynamics with calm, credibility, and results.

Location : Chicago, IL / New York, NY / Atlanta, GA

Responsibilities

• Own program governance & delivery across the Activate phases (Discover (phase is complete), Prepare (phase is complete), Explore (Kicks off on December 8th), Realize, Deploy, Run) with lean stage gates, ensuring scope integrity, value realization, and controlled risk burn‑down.
• Lead hybrid agile execution (sprint‑based backlog, cadence, demos) while preserving enterprise controls (RAID, decision logs, release management) consistent with our FS methodology.
• Drive Finance workstreams (Record‑to‑Report, Accounts Payable / Receivable, Asset Accounting, Controlling / Profitability, Indirect Procurement, Reporting and Analytics) including fit‑to‑standard, configuration oversight, and cross‑functional design integration.
• Orchestrate integrations across SAP / non‑SAP applications, middleware, data, and reporting—coordinating with multiple SIs and vendors; resolve cross‑team blockers decisively.
• Testing leadership : own E2E test strategy (SIT, UAT, regression, performance); codify entry / exit criteria and defect triage.
• Stakeholder management : build trust with senior business, finance controllers, and technology leaders; provide transparent executive reporting (status, risk, financials, Steering Committee updates).
• Change & adoption : partner with OCM to drive communications, training, and adoption metrics; safeguard business continuity.
• Financial stewardship : manage budgets, forecasts, and commercial obligations; ensure delivery against milestones and contractual KPIs.
• Quality & compliance : enforce traceability, controls, and audit readiness; align with Financial Services risk / compliance needs (SOX, data privacy).
