Responsibilities
Program & Integrated Planning: Own the integrated program plan and cutover timeline. Align release windows, SAP go-lives, SIT/UAT cycles, and hypercare across multiple vendors (e.g., IBM, Graphite, Vertex, Workday) to provide a single, trusted timeline
Cross-Vendor Coordination: Lead day-to-day coordination across system integrators and SaaS vendors. Resolve issues involving payment methods, bank keys, tax codes, and master data to prevent business teams from acting as go-betweens
Governance & RAID: Manage a disciplined RAID process using JIRA. Formally document critical decisions regarding company code/plant rules and system interactions to prevent re-litigation
Testing & Cutover: Enforce SIT/UAT governance, including test scripts, data, defect triage, and go/no-go criteria. Drive cutover execution via runbooks, sequencing, and escalation management
Scope & Delivery: Protect business priorities by distinguishing "must-have" go-live capabilities from post-go-live enhancements. Manage mid-stream scope expansion and communicate trade-offs to leadership
Data Quality: Coordinate data remediation (supplier cleansing, tax IDs, bank formats). Ensure the business validates business rules rather than raw files
Stakeholder Engagement: Own communication cadences (leadership updates, weekly change highlights) using JIRA, Slack, and Zoom. Partner with change management to drive readiness through focus groups and training
Escalation: Manage escalation paths to vendor leadership and internal executives when quality or timelines are at risk

Experience building SIT/UAT strategies and cutover runbooks
