- Collaborate with Domain Architects, Business Area Leads, and technical and functional teams to ensure readiness of data for ERP transition.
- Lead and validate data cleansing and quality initiatives, working closely with SAP teams and business units to secure optimal data integrity.

- Extensive Experience: A track record of at least 8 years in SAP projects, including significant exposure to data management, governance, and data migrations—especially moving from SAP Business Suite to SAP S/4HANA or integrated satellite solutions (e.g., BTP, Ariba, SuccessFactors).
- Migration Expertise: At least 5 years hands-on experience with large-scale SAP data migrations, with a nuanced understanding of the technical and business implications of data movement and synchronization across hybrid and cloud landscapes.
- Strong Analytical Skills: The ability to assess and validate complex migration plans, spot risks, and propose robust solutions for data quality, integrity, and seamless synchronization between systems.
- Collaborative Leadership: Adept at coordinating and motivating cross-functional teams—business, functional, and technical—ensuring open communication and shared ownership throughout major transformation projects.
- Stakeholder Management: Skilled in building trusted relationships with domain architects, business area leaders, and implementation partners. Able to report clearly and confidently to program leadership and other key stakeholders.
- Organizational Learning: Committed to capturing lessons learned and instilling best practices, ensuring continuous improvement for future migrations.
- Innovation and Best Practices: Brings a proactive approach to leveraging new SAP technologies (such as S/4HANA, BTP, Ariba, SuccessFactors) and industry standards to optimize outcomes.
- Multilingual Communication: Comfortable operating in a multilingual environment; demonstrates fluency in English and French, and a solid command of Dutch to ensure effective cooperation with diverse teams and stakeholders.
- Structured and Diligent: Approaches challenges methodically, paying close attention to detail while never losing sight of the overall program objectives and timelines.
