• Manage scope, budget, and resource forecasting; proactively flag deviations and drive corrective actions
• Lead integrated planning activities including data migration, system integration testing, cutover planning, and hypercare
• Partner with process consulting leads to ensure business process redesign is tightly coupled with system configuration and user adoption
• Drive change management and training planning in alignment with go-live readiness milestones
• Identify and resolve cross-workstream dependencies and conflicts between SAP core (e.g., S/4HANA) and external planning application landscapes
• Contribute to account growth by identifying opportunities to expand scope or deepen the engagement
