SAP S/4HANA MDG Project Manager
Lead complex SAP S/4HANA Master Data Governance programs for a major international organization, balancing architecture vision with hands-on delivery. Drive multilingual stakeholders through budgeting, planning, and implementation to turn master data into a trusted enterprise asset.
CONTEXT
Our client, a major player in its sector, is undertaking a strategic transformation of its master data landscape. After years of decentralized systems and inconsistent data ownership, the organization has decided to make trusted master data the foundation of its digital future. SAP S/4HANA and SAP Master Data Governance are the cornerstones of this ambition, but the journey is as much about people, governance, and cross-border alignment as it is about technology. The program spans finance, supply chain, procurement, and compliance, with stakeholders in Brussels and beyond who speak Dutch, French, and English. The client needs a senior project manager and architect who can turn a complex blueprint into a living, breathing implementation.
