About the role

A global tier-1 IT services and consulting firm is hiring a Program Director to lead SAP Master Data Governance workstreams inside large-scale S/4HANA business transformation programs. This is a Director-level, client-facing role owning data governance strategy, data migration approach, and master data management across multi-module S/4HANA deployments. You will lead design, build, test, and deployment of the business processes those solutions enable, and you will carry a visible role in shaping and winning new work.

What you will do

• Lead design, build, testing, and deployment of new or changed business processes enabled by SAP S/4HANA
• Own the data governance and data migration strategy across global transformation programs
• Run business workshops with senior stakeholders and drive outcomes in line with the program plan
• Define, design, govern, and deliver solutions alongside client teams and other business process leads
• Build implementation schedules, provide accurate estimates and timelines, and hold to quality standards
• Support sales opportunities, proposals, and business case development
• Mentor consulting and client team members while staying hands-on where the program requires it
• Build and leverage assets, accelerators, and thought leadership

What we are looking for

• Minimum ten years of transformational ERP consulting or equivalent industry experience
• At least five full lifecycle ERP implementations as Project Manager, multi-module (Finance, Sales, Production, Purchasing, Warehouse)
• Proven experience leading global S/4HANA transformation delivery as a Data Lead
• Hands-on experience managing and implementing SAP MDG, including standing up a governance and management framework
• Expert knowledge of SAP master and transactional data elements, data structures, migration tooling, and cross-module integration
• At least six years in proposal and business case development, with demonstrable sales contribution
• Ability to translate business requirements into technical specification and speak credibly to industry KPIs
• Bachelors degree or equivalent
• Authorised to work in the US on a permanent basis without sponsorship

Who this role is NOT for

• Technical MDM or data engineering specialists with no client-facing program leadership
• SAP functional consultants who have not owned a data workstream end to end
• Program managers from industry with a single in-house S/4HANA rollout and no consulting delivery record
• Delivery-only leaders with no proposal, business case, or sales involvement
• MDG configuration or BASIS resources looking for a hands-on build role
• Anyone requiring visa sponsorship
