About the role
Schneider Electric is undergoing a major global business transformation to simplify and harmonize the way we work across countries, functions, and systems.
As Senior Transformation Program Manager, you will lead the end-to-end implementation of a large-scale SAP S/4HANA transformation across multiple businesses and countries. You will bring together business, process, data, IT, change, and training teams to ensure a successful implementation and adoption.
This is a highly visible role for an experienced transformation leader who combines strong program management with business and ERP understanding and is comfortable navigating complex, international stakeholder environments.
What will you do? - Lead the end-to-end delivery of a complex SAP S/4HANA transformation, coordinating multiple workstreams across business processes, technology, data, change management, training, and deployment.
- Coordinate cross-functional and international teams, ensuring alignment between business leaders, process owners, technical experts, and local implementation teams.
- Drive the implementation and adoption of standardized processes and solutions, challenging unnecessary customization and ensuring issues and dependencies are resolved effectively.
- Manage program scope, budget, resources, milestones, risks, and dependencies, taking corrective action when needed to keep delivery on track.
- Lead program governance and senior stakeholder communication, providing clear visibility of progress, risks, decisions, and priorities.
- Manage deployment and Go-Live readiness, ensuring business continuity and minimizing disruption to customers and operations.
- Ensure a structured transition from implementation into stable business operations, including clear ownership and appropriate post-Go-Live support.
- Promote strong project and change management disciplines across the program and contribute to continuous improvement of the transformation approach.
What will make you successful? - 8+ years of experience in program/project management, business transformation, ERP implementation, or a comparable environment.
- Proven experience leading large, complex transformation programs involving multiple countries, functions, and workstreams.
- Strong experience with SAP S/4HANA or comparable ERP transformations. Knowledge of SAP Public Cloud would be an advantage.
- Good understanding of business processes such as order-to-cash, project execution, supply chain, operations, or customer delivery.
- Demonstrated ability to manage scope, budgets, resources, timelines, dependencies, and program risks.
- Strong leadership and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence and align senior stakeholders without necessarily having direct reporting authority.
- Experience managing deployment, Go-Live, stabilization, and transition into operational support.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to translate complex transformation topics into clear priorities and decisions.
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving and evolving environment, where not everything is defined from the outset.
- Fluent English and willingness to travel internationally for up to approximately one week per month.
