SAP Plant Setup & Deployment Project Lead

Do you believe reliable enterprise systems and disciplined delivery are essential to launching and expanding business operations? Establishing a plant in SAP requires coordinated configuration across Purchasing and Finance, careful management of dependencies, and close collaboration among product teams. That’s where this role makes an impact.

We are seeking an SAP Plant Setup & Deployment Project Lead to lead the enterprise-structure configuration and deployment activities needed to establish new or expanded plants in SAP S/4HANA. You’ll connect Purchasing (MM) and Finance (FI/CO) workstreams, coordinating requirements, configuration, validation, and deployment across areas such as Accounts Payable, General Ledger, Intercompany, Vehicle Accounting, and Reporting.

This role combines hands-on SAP configuration with project leadership. You’ll coordinate cross-functional teams, manage plans and dependencies using Jira and Agile practices, and support project governance, change control, cutover, and go-live activities.

We recognize that no one person will embody every quality or skill listed below. If you have hands-on SAP configuration experience and enjoy coordinating complex, cross-functional deployments, we encourage you to apply.
