About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior SAP Cutover Lead to plan, manage, and execute cutover activities across complex SAP transformation programs, including S/4HANA, RISE, and cloud-based migrations. The ideal candidate will be responsible for orchestrating all phases of the technical and business cutover, coordinating cross-functional teams, and ensuring a smooth transition from legacy to target systems with minimal disruption to operations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and own the end-to-end cutover strategy, timeline, and execution plan for SAP and non-SAP systems.
  • Coordinate with functional, technical, BASIS, infrastructure, and business process teams to define cutover tasks, dependencies, and sequencing.
  • Drive the development of cutover checklists, runbooks, and readiness assessments.
  • Conduct mock cutovers and rehearsals to validate timing, resources, and risk mitigation.
  • Monitor and report progress during each phase of the cutover cycle; manage go/no-go checkpoints.
  • Identify and proactively resolve cutover issues and risks to maintain go-live stability.
  • Collaborate with project management, business owners, and system integrators to ensure alignment with overall deployment milestones.
  • Facilitate post-cutover reviews, stabilization planning, and transition to support teams.
  • Maintain detailed documentation and ensure compliance with change control and audit standards.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 10+ years of SAP experience, with 5+ years leading cutover planning and execution for SAP ECC, S/4HANA, or RISE programs.
  • Proven track record managing large-scale, multi-stream cutovers involving multiple systems and geographies.
  • Strong understanding of SAP technical architecture, BASIS operations, and infrastructure dependencies.
  • Excellent coordination and stakeholder management skills—capable of working with distributed global teams.
  • Hands-on experience with cutover management tools (e.g., SAP Cloud ALM, Solution Manager, MS Project, Jira, or Smartsheet).
  • Ability to anticipate risks and design effective fallback and recovery plans.
  • Exceptional communication and leadership skills with a proactive, detail-oriented approach.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with SAP RISE migrations, Greenfield/Brownfield implementations, and system consolidations.
  • Familiarity with cloud hosting (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and hybrid landscape cutovers.
  • Certification in SAP Activate or PMP/Prince2 project management.

Why Join Us

  • Lead mission-critical cutovers across global SAP programs.
  • Collaborate with seasoned SAP professionals across functional and technical domains.
  • Remote flexibility with opportunities for long-term global project exposure.
