Client
Our client is a public sector body.
Role:
Our client is seeking a senior Product Owner/SAP COE Manager to lead the next phase of their SAP S/4 HANA journey.
This is a transformation role, not a traditional SAP management position. The mandate is to build and lead a best-in-class SAP Centre of Excellence, moving from a traditional, project led model to a modern, product led, agile shared services capability.
Responsibilities:
- Reports to the Head of IT Shared Services
- Build and lead a best-in-class SAP S/4HANA COE with clear operating model, governance, and standards
- Own and drive a business-aligned roadmap and prioritised backlog, focused on measurable outcomes
- Establish strong stakeholder engagement and confidence, positioning SAP as a trusted platform
- Create a service the business wants to use, driving adoption and pull-based demand
- Implement modern, agile and multi-speed delivery, significantly improving speed to value
- Lead and develop a high-performing team, shifting behaviours from traditional to product-led ways of working
Requirements
- Proven leader in SAP environments (ideally S/4HANA) in a Product Owner / Product Lead / similar role
- Experience building or transforming a COE or shared services function
- Strong track record in roadmap ownership, backlog management, and value delivery
- Ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive adoption across the business
- Experience moving organisations from traditional delivery to agile/product-led models
- Comfortable leading technical teams without needing deep hands-on SAP expertise
We are not looking for deep technical SAP configuration expertise. We are looking for a transformation leader with strong product mindset
The Rewards:
As a reward for your commitment to this role you will receive an excellent salary and a competitive benefits package.
