Delivery Lead - Digital Transformation EDGE Group PJSC

Program & Wave Planning

• • Build and maintain the multi-wave rollout plan and roadmap for all entities, aligning scope, capacity, and dependencies across eight process domains.
  • Define entity readiness criteria and entry/exit gates for each phase (SAP Activate Discover, Prepare, Explore, Realize, Deploy, Run/Operate/Hypercare).
  • Orchestrate a rollout factory model, standardizing assets, playbooks, and accelerators to drive scale and repeatability.

Delivery Management (SAP Activate)

• • Discover: Lead entity assessments, fit-to-standard posture, value case, and high-level solution/ integration scoping.
  • Prepare: Mobilize teams, environments, and tools; finalize the delivery plan, RAID, and governance; confirm data migration and testing strategies.
  • Explore: Execute fit-to-standard workshops; manage gaps, extension design, and controlled localization; ensure template alignment and change control.
  • Realize: Oversee configuration, developments (WRICEF), integrations, data migration cycles, and test phases (SIT, UAT, performance, security).
  • Deploy: Manage cutover planning and execution (incl. data loads), business readiness, training, and go/no-go governance.
  • Run/Hypercare: Stabilize post go-live, resolve defects, transition to AMS, and hand off to run operations with KPIs and lessons learned.

Data Migration Leadership

• • Own the end-to-end data migration strategy, governance, and execution (scope, mapping, cleansing, ownership, quality KPIs, mock loads).
  • Select and apply tools such as SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, SAP Data Services, or equivalent ETL/ DQ platforms.
  • Coordinate master data governance and cutover/data load plans; achieve load success criteria and reconciliation signoffs.

Vendor & Partner Management

• • Lead external service providers (SI, data migration, testing, change partners): scope and SOWs, SLAs, deliverables, and performance management.
  • Resolve delivery constraints and escalations; ensure consistent ways of working and knowledge transfer.

Stakeholder, Change & Training

• • Engage Business Process Owners, Entity Leadership, PMO, Entity Key Users, and Change Champions.
  • Collaborate closely with the change management team to shape communications and training content with a fit-to-standard mindset and controlled deviations.

Governance, Risk & Compliance
