Vice President, SAP

Job ID: [[id]]
CRH's Americas Materials division is the leading integrated supplier of aggregates, asphalt, ready mixed concrete and paving and construction services in North America. Our operations span North America with over 29,000 employees at close to 1,660 locations in 45 US States and 2 Canadian provinces.
Position Overview
We are hiring a Vice President, SAP, to lead our SAP organization across the full lifecycle — active transformation projects, ongoing enhancement work, and production support. This is a senior, highly visible role for a pragmatic, hands-on technology leader who has personally been in the trenches of SAP-led transformations and now leads the teams that deliver them.
The successful candidate is a true SAP expert with deep S/4HANA experience who can set technical direction, make sound architecture and delivery decisions, and roll up their sleeves alongside the team. This is not a role for a theorist — we are looking for an operator who has implemented SAP, knows where transformations succeed and fail, and can lead with credibility earned through hands-on experience.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the SAP team across all modes of work: greenfield/brownfield transformation projects, enhancement and continuous-improvement work, and day-to-day production support.
Own the SAP application landscape end to end, including SAP Commerce Cloud, S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, and Concur.
Provide leadership and oversight for adjacent non-SAP applications integral to the ecosystem, including Apex, Coupa, and Vertex.
Set technical and delivery direction for SAP-led transformation initiatives — scope, design decisions, sequencing, risk management, and quality of delivery.
Balance delivery of new capability against the stability and reliability of the existing landscape, ensuring support and enhancement work is not crowded out by project demands.
Build, develop, and retain a high-performing SAP team across functional, technical, and delivery disciplines; coach toward a hands-on, accountable, outcome-driven culture.
Establish pragmatic governance, standards, and ways of working that fit the pace of the business rather than slowing it down.
Legacy Application teams — coordinating coexistence, data, and migration across the legacy estate.
Integration teams — ensuring clean, reliable interfaces between SAP, non-SAP applications, and external systems.
Organizational Change Management (OCM) teams — aligning solution design with adoption, training, and readiness.
Business Performance teams — connecting SAP capabilities to measurable business outcomes.
Qualifications
15+ years of experience in SAP, spanning both senior leadership roles and hands-on delivery roles — you have led teams and have personally done the work.
Demonstrated success implementing SAP through SAP-led transformations, ideally across multiple full lifecycle programs.
Hands-on S/4HANA experience is required; experience in the building products industry (or closely adjacent manufacturing/distribution sectors) is strongly preferred.
Track record leading teams that simultaneously deliver projects, enhancements, and support.
Experience overseeing a broad application portfolio that includes SAP Commerce Cloud, SuccessFactors, and Concur, plus integrated non-SAP applications (e.g., Coupa, Vertex, Apex).
Education/Experience
Pragmatic, hands-on leader — comfortable diving into the detail and making decisions, not just directing from a distance.
Strong technical credibility that earns the trust of engineers, architects, and functional experts.
Proven ability to work across organizational boundaries and lead through influence with legacy, integration, OCM, and business partners.
Clear communicator who can translate between technical teams and business stakeholders, including at the executive level.
