Expert, Senior
SAP Programme Manager
We have an exciting opportunity for a SAP Programme Delivery Manager to join our IT team here at Harrods. The role will be accountable for the planning, adherence to established governance models and delivery of SAP-related change initiatives across S/4HANA, EWM, CAR, BW/4HANA and associated integrations.
About the Role
This role is pivotal in shaping and managing the SAP change portfolio across multiple business and technology domains, providing leadership across continuous improvement initiatives, business demand, ERP-enabled CapEx projects, upgrade readiness activities and future platform upgrades. You will lead SAP project delivery from initiation through to implementation and benefits realisation, ensuring all change is aligned to strategic priorities, business value and organisational capacity. Working across multiple workstreams and suppliers, you will manage key dependencies to deliver efficient, predictable and high-quality outcomes.
A key focus of the role will be leading the SAP Technical Debt Remediation Programme and preparing the organisation for its planned ERP upgrade in H1 2028. You will oversee demand management, backlog prioritisation and continuous improvement activities, ensuring investment decisions and change requests are assessed against strategic objectives, technical constraints and delivery capacity. In addition, you will provide robust governance, reporting and stakeholder management, supporting steering groups and investment forums while maintaining clear visibility of scope, costs, risks, schedules and benefits.
About You
The successful candidate will bring significant experience leading large-scale SAP programmes and complex technology change initiatives within enterprise environments. You will have a strong track record of delivering projects in SAP S/4HANA or comparable ERP platforms, with a solid understanding of project governance, portfolio management and change delivery. Acting as the primary delivery lead, you will be confident coordinating internal teams, Application Management Service providers and strategic partners to ensure successful outcomes aligned to business, architectural and financial objectives.
You will possess experience in SAP technical debt remediation, Clean Core principles and supporting major SAP upgrades and transformation programmes. A working knowledge of SAP EWM, CAR, BW/4HANA and related integration technologies will be highly advantageous, alongside the ability to operate effectively within complex multi-supplier environments. Excellent stakeholder management, communication and influencing skills are essential, and experience within the retail sector would be particularly beneficial.
