Job Level
About the role
- You will work with our team to build a high-performance migration factory and help to firmly establish and further expand this capability.
- You will drive innovation in the migration space: leveraging AI-supported approaches, working with evolving templates and frameworks, and keeping an eye on new methods, SAP standards and third-party solutions.
- You will lead SAP S/4HANA migration projects or subprojects — including planning, control, reporting and alignment with clients.
- You will approach migration not only as technical data transfer but holistically across processes, technologies and business goals — advising clients on transformation strategies, process harmonization and target architectures.
- You will take responsibility for delivering high-quality results in the SAP migration context and ensure that migration initiatives are implemented efficiently, systematically and purposefully.
- You will coordinate collaboration between business units, technical teams and external partners and manage complex dependencies across the entire transformation program.
- You will contribute to SAP projects beyond the migration focus, for example with module expertise, testing, training, architecture or classic project support.
- You will actively help grow and further develop our SAP migration team and provide technical support and coaching to team members.
Requirements
- University degree (completed).
- Proven experience managing projects or subprojects for SAP migration initiatives (e.g., S/4HANA, Brownfield/Greenfield, Selective Data Transition).
- Deep knowledge of SAP data structures, business processes and migration tools — and the ability to view migration as an integral part of an overall transformation.
- Confident handling of project management methods (agile & classical), ideally with knowledge of SAP Activate.
- Ability to explain complex SAP migration processes and transformation paths clearly and to manage them with clients.
- Very good German and English skills.
- Willingness to travel.
- Experience in other SAP areas such as module consulting, testing, training or architecture — or the motivation to develop into these areas over time.
Benefits
- Our Personal Growth Model and Coaching & Leading approach provide comprehensive support for both your long-term development and your day-to-day work.
- In our Academy you will find a broad training offering, such as language and certification courses, individual coaching and targeted leadership development programs.
- Flexible career model and our Fluid Company approach — you decide where and how fast you want to progress.
- To support a good work-life balance, we try to offer as many positions as possible on a part-time basis.
- With our Mobile Work Policy you can work comfortably from home or from one of our Swiss offices.
- With “Mobile Work Abroad” you can work up to 50 days per year from the EU (as well as the UK, NOR, ISL, LIE) when your client does not require you on-site.
- 25 days of vacation, additional leave for special family circumstances or job-related relocation, and various sabbatical options.
- Fixed monthly mobility budget — travel flexibly and sustainably, whether for private or business use, with a focus on environmentally friendly transport.
- Our values — responsible, energetic and together — are central to our daily work.
- Fair and attractive salaries consisting of a fixed and a performance-based component.
