Whitehall Resources currently require an experienced SAP Project Manager.

**Please note 5 Days onsite is essential in Bangalore**

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of the SAP project, from planning through go-live and hypercare, ensuring scope, timeline, budget, and quality targets are met.

• Develop and maintain the overall project plan, resourcing plan, and RAID log (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies).

• Lead and coordinate cross-functional SAP teams, functional consultants, technical/ABAP resources, Basis, integration, and testing teams, ensuring alignment across all workstreams.

• Act as the primary point of contact for business stakeholders, sponsors, and key users, translating business requirements into actionable project deliverables.

• Chair steering committee meetings and project governance forums, providing clear, accurate status reporting to senior stakeholders and leadership.

• Proactively identify, escalate, and resolve project risks and issues before they impact delivery.

• Manage project budget, resourcing, and vendor/third-party relationships where applicable.

• Drive and oversee testing phases (SIT, UAT) and cutover/go-live planning, ensuring readiness across business and technical teams.

• Ensure adherence to SAP Activate (or equivalent) project methodology and internal governance/compliance standards.

• Manage change control, scope changes, and their impact on timeline and budget.

• Support organizational change management and training activities to ensure business readiness for go-live.

• Solid understanding of SAP project methodology (SAP Activate, ASAP, or equivalent) and rollout phases from blueprint through hypercare.

• Demonstrated experience managing multi-disciplinary teams, including onshore/offshore or vendor resources.

• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to operate confidently with both senior business sponsors and technical delivery teams.

• Excellent risk, issue, and budget management skills, with a track record of keeping projects on track and proactively resolving blockers.

• Strong communication and reporting skills, clear, concise, and confident presenting to steering committees and leadership.

• PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent project management certification preferred.

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (Business, IT, Engineering, or similar); MBA a plus.
