Responsibilities
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

Coordinate data remediation (supplier cleansing, tax IDs, bank formats). Ensure the business validates business rules rather than raw files
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
Manage escalation paths to vendor leadership and internal executives when quality or timelines are at risk
