  • Proven experience delivering end-to-end SAP S/4HANA implementations (highly preferred)
  • Strong knowledge of OCM frameworks (e.g., Prosci ADKAR) and project delivery methodologies (Agile/Waterfall)
  • Experience in large-scale, enterprise transformation within heavy industry, mining, energy, or similar sectors
  • Ability to balance strategy and hands-on execution in a fast-paced, complex environment
  • Strong leadership and stakeholder management skills, with experience influencing cross-functional teams
  • Advanced communication skills, including executive-level messaging and change communications strategies
  • Willingness and ability to travel regularly to operational sites
