S4o9 Master Data Project Lead, AMEA (S/4HANA S4o9 Program)

We are seeking a highly capable and resilient Senior Manager to co-lead the data management stream for the S4o9 program in AMEA. This critical role will work alongside the AMEA Data Management Integration Lead to ensure the end-to-end preparation and seamless project implementation.

The successful candidate will lead a team of SMEs and drive readiness activities, data integration preparation, design preparation, testing, training and change enablement. In addition, the successful candidate will represent the AMEA region in global design discussions, serving as the primary interface to translate business needs into executable solutions. 

This is a leadership position suited for someone who thrives in complex, fast-changing environments and can lead teams through ambiguity, resistance and transformation fatigue — while keeping business continuity and go-live quality as top priorities.

• Design Adoption & Smart Fit: Review and adopt the global data design template, ensuring it is fit-for-purpose. Boldly propose practical design enhancements where needed to meet operational realities.
• Opportunity Identification: Identify and advocate for cross-market harmonization, automation and continuous improvement opportunities to unlock long-term value.

 Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the key interface between regional teams and global program functions. Partner with IT, business stakeholders, data governance and local markets to ensure aligned, consistent delivery.

• Change Leadership: Drive engagement and clarity across teams, handling resistance with structured, proactive communication.
• Team Management: Lead a team of SMEs across data domains, ensuring delivery excellence and cross-functional alignment.
