Responsibilities

• Ensure Key Users understand new SAP S/4HANA transactions and successfully transition from legacy business processes to standardized SAP processes.
• Monitor deployment performance, KPIs, compliance levels, and identify continuous improvement opportunities.
• Drive issue resolution during deployment, hypercare, and stabilization phases.
• Ensure a smooth transition from project implementation to Business-as-Usual (BAU) support teams.
• Achieve a defect closure rate during SIT and UAT with a target of zero critical defects before Go-Live.
• Ensure stakeholder satisfaction and confidence regarding communication, deployment support, and overall project execution.
• Foster strong collaboration across Procurement, Finance, Accounts Payable, and IT functions to ensure alignment on standardized business processes.
