• Contract Length: Initial contract until 30 June 2027 + 12-month extension (at Department discretion)

About the position:

This role sits within a large-scale SAP ERP transformation program inside a large, structured federal environment. The engagement spans both strategic oversight and hands-on program delivery, supporting SAP ECC and S/4HANA implementation within a regulated government environment.

The work extends beyond standard project coordination. It involves governance participation, scope control, vendor alignment, financial oversight, and ensuring ERP outcomes align with operational and compliance requirements across the organisation.

What you’ll do:

• Lead end-to-end SAP ERP project delivery, including planning, scope, governance and execution
• Oversee multi-functional and virtual teams across implementation phases
• Manage budgets, risk mitigation strategies and change control processes
• Act as the primary interface between program teams, senior leadership and external stakeholders

What we are looking for:

• 10+ years’ experience delivering large-scale ERP or SAP programs
• Proven experience across SAP ECC and S/4HANA environments
• Strong background in structured governance, risk management and regulatory compliance

Seniority fit:

• This role suits a Project Manager who has previously led enterprise SAP implementations with full delivery accountability

Technology & environment:

• SAP ECC and S/4HANA ERP platforms
• Federal Government governance and regulatory frameworks
• Multi-vendor implementation environments
• Structured program delivery with compliance and audit considerations

A quick note before you apply:

• This is not a coordination-only project role, it requires proven ERP delivery ownership at scale
• Candidates whose experience is limited to supporting SAP projects without leading delivery outcomes may find the scope misaligned
• An active Baseline clearance is required; sponsorship is not available
• Strong governance presence and stakeholder maturity are essential in this environment

• Partner with OCM teams to drive effective stakeholder engagement and requirements validation
• Support resource planning and workload allocation across the workstream
