About the Role
As IT Director, SAP S/4HANA Supply Chain Transformation, you will play a pivotal role in a global S4HANA transformation programme, influencing how manufacturing, quality, supply chain and inventory processes evolve globally. You will operate at the intersection of strategy, transformation and execution. This role demands someone who can influence at VP level, challenge the status quo and bring clarity to complex global environments. You will take ownership of the global Plan to Inventory solution space, not just as an architectural authority but as a transformation leader. From the outset, you will define the future state vision for how SAP S4HANA enables the business rather than simply supporting it. You will guide decisions that reduce complexity, streamline integrations and ensure the organisation is set up for scalability, compliance and long term innovation. Working across global teams, you will partner closely with senior business stakeholders to shape the global template, influence strategy and lead business process transformation. You will challenge legacy thinking, build compelling business cases for change and clearly articulate the art of the possible with SAP. You will also lead and develop a team of architects, creating a high performing environment where accountability, ownership and innovation are expected. This is a leadership role where success is defined by the outcomes you enable across the business, not just the systems you deliver.
