Key Responsibilities :
- Lead cross‑functional and technical delivery of the end‑to‑end S / 4HANA data migration program (strategy, scope, plan, estimates, RAID, quality gates, sign‑offs).
- Facilitate business / functional workshops to finalize object scope (BP / Customer / Vendor, Material, BOM / Routing, Pricing / Conditions, FI / CO / AA, inventory, open items, supply chain & manufacturing objects), ownership, and acceptance criteria.
- Translate process designs into functional data rules (mappings, defaulting / derivations, validations) per module; maintain object‑wise run books and approvals with process owners.
- Direct the technical build and loads—extraction, cleansing, transformation, validation, and load—using SAP Migration Cockpit, BODS / Syniti, LSMW / LTMC, IDoc / BAPI, and SQL; personally deliver critical objects as an individual contributor.
- Coordinate with MDG teams when present to align to data models / standards and governance checkpoints, without taking on MDG operations.
- Establish data quality KPIs and reconciliation : profiling, match / merge, de‑duplication, control totals, and pre / post‑load checks; partner with Finance for financial reconciliations.
- Orchestrate mock loads, dress rehearsals, cutover, and hyper care; manage defect triage, root‑cause analysis, stabilization, and knowledge transfer.
- Provide executive‑level communication : status reporting, risk / issue management, stakeholder alignment, and change management across business and IT.
