SAP Change Lead

The opportunity

We are supporting a leading global consultancy seeking an ambitious SAP Change Manager to join its growing transformation capability.

This opportunity would suit an experienced Senior Associate or Assistant Manager who is ready to step into a Manager position. It could also suit an existing Manager from a smaller consultancy looking for exposure to larger, enterprise-scale SAP programmes.

You will lead and support change activities across SAP S/4HANA transformations, helping clients prepare their people, processes and organisations for new systems and ways of working.

The successful candidate will be energetic, confident and hands-on, with strong communication skills and experience across at least one or two SAP S/4HANA programmes. You do not need to be the finished article, but you must have the motivation, ownership and presence required to succeed in a fast-paced consultancy environment.

Key responsibilities

• Lead or support the change workstream across SAP S/4HANA transformation programmes
• Develop practical change strategies, roadmaps and delivery plans
• Conduct change-impact assessments across processes, roles, systems and organisational structures

• Work with programme leaders, functional consultants, process owners and training teams
• Build change-agent, champion and super-user networks
• Translate complex SAP changes into clear, business-focused communications
• Facilitate workshops with business leaders, process owners and operational teams
• Assess organisational readiness and identify adoption risks
• Align training activity with identified change impacts
• Monitor adoption, readiness and change effectiveness
• Support cutover, go-live, hypercare and post-implementation adoption
• Manage resistance and develop targeted change interventions
• Report clearly on progress, risks, dependencies and business readiness
• Contribute to proposals, client presentations and internal capability development

What we are looking for

• Experience supporting or leading change across at least one or two SAP S/4HANA programmes
• Current experience at Senior Associate, Assistant Manager or Manager level
• A strong understanding of change management within technology-enabled transformation
• Experience in change-impact assessment, stakeholder analysis and business readiness
• Exposure to communications, engagement, training or adoption activities
• Confidence engaging with senior client stakeholders and programme leaders
• Strong written, verbal, facilitation and presentation skills
• The ability to translate technical SAP changes into clear business impacts
• A practical, hands-on approach to delivering and embedding change
• The confidence to challenge constructively and influence without direct authority
• High levels of energy, motivation and personal ownership
• Willingness to travel to client sites when required

Desirable experience

• Previous consultancy or client-facing professional services experience
• Exposure to SAP Finance, Procurement, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, EWM or Ariba
• Experience across international or multi-country programmes
• Knowledge of Prosci ADKAR, ChangeFirst, Kotter or an equivalent methodology
• A recognised change-management qualification
