Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly experienced and organized Cutover Manager to join our SAP Transformation Program. The role will focus on leading all aspects of the cutover planning and execution across business units and technical landscapes. The ideal candidate brings a strong track record of managing end-to-end cutover activities while collaborating cross-functionally across workstreams. The Cutover Manager will serve as the central orchestrator of cutover success and must be comfortable managing dependencies, risks, and execution readiness. This is a leadership role requiring proactive coordination with business, technical, and program teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define and maintain the integrated cutover strategy, plan, and timeline across all SAP and non-SAP systems.
• Drive the readiness assessment across business units and IT teams to ensure cutover success.
• Lead the execution of mock cutovers and dry runs in line with program milestones.
• Work closely with the deployment, data migration, testing, and environment management leads to ensure alignment of timelines and activities.
• Coordinate the final Go/No-Go process with all stakeholders, ensuring sign-offs across business and IT.
• Manage cutover war rooms, hypercare planning, and first-day-of-business activities.
• Maintain a structured issue resolution and escalation process throughout cutover and post-go-live.
• Ensure detailed tracking and reporting of readiness KPIs to steering committee and program governance forums.
• Act as the primary interface for all project-level integration points, dependencies, and timeline alignment across business and technology—requiring broader oversight beyond pure cutover activities.
• Support overall SAP project execution by collaborating closely with PMO and functional leads on risk management, resource planning, and scope alignment.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Minimum 10 years of experience in large-scale SAP implementations, including multiple full lifecycle deployments.
• Proven experience in leading cutover and/or deployment management roles.
• Strong understanding of SAP S/4HANA architecture, data migration principles, testing, and environment management.
• Excellent project management skills—PMP, Prince2, or similar certification is a plus.
• Ability to engage with C-level stakeholders and facilitate critical program decisions.
• Experience working in a matrixed environment with multiple vendors and global stakeholders.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple moving parts under pressure.
• Exceptional communication, conflict resolution, and presentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in Greenfield or Brownfield S/4HANA implementations.
• Cross-functional understanding of SAP modules including Finance, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing.
