Senior SAP S/4HANA Project Manager
Location: Montreal / Remote within Quebec or Ontario
Contract: Until January 31, 2027, with potential for renewal
Hours: 35 hours per week
We are looking for an experienced Senior SAP S/4HANA Project Manager to lead a major SAP platform upgrade. This is a senior-level opportunity within a large, complex and highly regulated organization, working with multiple internal teams, SAP specialists, external partners and vendors.
The Project Manager will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of an SAP S/4HANA upgrade, from planning and preparation through testing, cutover, go-live and post-production stabilization.
What You’ll Be Doing
Lead the planning and delivery of an SAP S/4HANA version upgrade.
Develop and maintain detailed project plans, schedules, milestones and resource plans.
Manage project risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies (RAID).
Lead the project using SAP Activate methodology and established governance standards.
Coordinate activities across SAP, BASIS, IT, business, Supply Chain and Manufacturing teams.
Manage multiple external vendors, consultants and implementation partners.
Coordinate large-scale integration, regression, validation and performance testing.
Develop and manage cutover and go-live plans.
Manage change control and ensure business continuity throughout the upgrade.
Track project scope, schedule, budget, risks and overall delivery.
Provide regular project reporting and presentations to senior leadership.
Coordinate change management, training and project documentation.
Lead post-go-live stabilization and hypercare activities.
What We’re Looking For
10+ years of SAP Project Management experience.
Proven experience leading SAP S/4HANA upgrade projects.
Ideally, experience upgrading from S/4HANA 2020/2021 to 2023 or a newer release.
Strong knowledge of SAP Activate.
Significant experience within Supply Chain and Manufacturing environments.
Experience delivering SAP projects in highly regulated organizations.
Experience working within large organizations of 10,000+ employees.
Strong experience coordinating multiple vendors and implementation partners.
Experience managing large, global SAP programs involving multiple teams and stakeholders.
Strong experience managing testing, cutover, production deployment and release activities.
Excellent stakeholder management, communication and executive-level presentation skills.
Nice to Have
Experience with SAP custom code remediation during an upgrade, SAP BASIS and SAP architecture, large-scale testing programs, and post-go-live/hypercare would be valuable. PMP, PRINCE2 or relevant SAP certifications are also considered assets.
This role is best suited to a senior SAP Project Manager who has personally led complex S/4HANA upgrades from planning through production and stabilization, rather than someone whose experience has primarily been general SAP implementation support.
