As Senior IT Project Manager, you will play a critical execution leadership role in planning and orchestrating the transition of Novonesis’ enterprise systems to S/4HANA during cutover week and go-live. You will own the end-to-end cutover strategy, governance, and execution, ensuring a low-risk transition with minimal business disruption. Acting as the central orchestrator across technical and business workstreams, you will manage dependencies, readiness, and critical decision-making in a highly visible, mission-critical role within our global transformation program.

About the team:

The team brings together cutover coordinators, IT and S/4HANA workstream leads, data migration and integration specialists, command centre colleagues, business representatives, process owners, and hypercare teams to ensure a coordinated and controlled transition.

• Defining and leading the end-to-end cutover strategy and governance model
• Developing an integrated master cutover plan across all workstreams
• Acting as the central orchestrator during cutover week and go-live
• Managing dependencies, risks, and critical path execution
• Driving go/no-go decision-making, mock cutovers, and overall readiness with program leadership

To succeed you must hold:

• 7+ years of experience in enterprise system implementation or cutover projects
• 3+ years leading cutover or go-live activities in large ERP programs
• Hands-on experience with S/4HANA, including data migration and integration
• Strong planning, dependency management, and execution capabilities
• Proven ability to lead under pressure, make critical decisions, and apply relevant project methodology such as PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent

You will thrive in this role if you are:

• Highly structured and disciplined in planning and execution
• Calm and decisive when working under pressure
• Strong at managing dependencies across complex programs
• Confident engaging senior technical and business stakeholders
• Clear, proactive, and pragmatic in communication and issue resolution
