Integration Leadership (End-to-End)

MMP PDO / Skill Team Collaboration (Cross-Product Coordination)

  • Partner with multiple MMP PDO teams to align integration scope, priorities, and delivery timelines across concurrent initiatives.

  • Manage integration milestones with skill teams: design sign-off, build, SIT, Load, end-to-end testing, performance testing, UAT , cutover and hypercare.
  • Ensure change control and release readiness are followed on areas impacting skill teams (CAB processes, validation evidence, rollback plans).

Supplier & Stakeholder Coordination

  • Lead joint design sessions, clarify requirements, manage deliverables, and ensure alignment on timelines and acceptance criteria.
  • Govern supplier execution quality (technical design compliance, testing rigor, documentation, defect resolution, and handover).
  • Ensure production support readiness

  • 8+ years of experience in enterprise integration delivery, including SAP-to-non-SAP integrations.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with SAP BTP Integration Suite (nice to have) , API Management, and cloud/hybrid integration.
