Êtes-vous un responsable de la planification expérimenté, doté d'une expertise dans les programmes de transformation ERP à grande échelle ?
emagine vous propose de piloter la planification intégrée d'une transformation SAP S/4HANA à l'échelle mondiale au sein d'une équipe internationale.
This role sits inside the core PMO of a large-scale, multi-year ERP transformation built on SAP S/4HANA PCE, integrated with multiple satellite systems. The key objective is to defend the interests of the client by ensuring the system integrators master plan is effective in form and execution
Main Responsibilities
The role spans end-to-end planning governance across a hybrid Agile/Waterfall program:
- Maintain a reliable, integrated master plan through go-live of the first-out countries
- Ensure the plan reflects real constraints: resource availability, review cycles, training timelines and business blackout periods
- Synchronize the master plan with workstream plans and backlogs, reconciling MS-Project and Excel milestone sources into one coherent view
- Maintain and actively monitor the critical path, flagging cross-stream conflicts and unrealistic overlaps
- Scrutinize every re-baselining proposal, assessing impact on critical path and commitments, and escalating risk
- Guard against silent slippage, hidden buffers and over-optimistic sequencing
- Cross-check the system integrator's plan and status claims against what teams see on the ground, and push back on unrealistic or inconsistent reporting
- Consolidate planning status by stream, verify RAG consistency, and deliver a reliable plan-on-a-page for steering committee governance
- Provide structured planning input on trends, schedule risks and capacity tensions to program leadership
Key Requirements
- 7+ years in project planning, scheduling or PMO on large transformation programs, with experience running the planning of global SAP deployments (core-template build, test, deployment, dual run with legacy)
- Strong MS-Project expertise: milestone management, dependency management, baselining, effort planning and consolidation of multiple MS-Project and Excel milestone plans
- Working knowledge of Jira (backlogs, sprints) with the ability to connect Agile progress to the integrated plan
- Comfortable operating in a hybrid delivery environment combining Agile sprints and Waterfall phases
- Able to constructively challenge and hold a system integrator to account while maintaining an effective working relationship
- Excellent written and spoken English, with the ability to present complex plans and status clearly and in a structured way
- Structured, rigorous, reliable and solution-oriented working style
Why This Role
You work at the center of a major transformation, with visibility across every workstream and direct exposure to program leadership and steering committee governance. Your assessment of the plan carries real weight in decisions that shape go-live.
Other Details
The role is within a core PMO team, reporting to the Head of PMO. The program combines Agile and Waterfall delivery modes and runs through go-live of the first three countries in February 2027. The team is based in Brussels and you must be available for regular on-site meetings and potential travel to other European sites.
