Cutover Manager - S4HANA at Sanderson Recruitment Plc, City of London, 3 Months, to £600 per day + Outside IR35

Junior Cutover Manager - £600 p/d Outside IR35 - 4 days on site Canary Wharf

Candidates must be available immediately

We are looking for an experienced SAP Cutover Manager to join a major SAP transformation programme at a critical stage ahead of go-live. The programme is now moving through go-live rehearsals and into final cutover preparation, with a demanding delivery schedule and limited contingency within the plan.

The successful candidate should have demonstrable experience in:

• Circa 3+ years Cutover experience
• Leading or managing cutover activity within large-scale SAP transformation programmes, with recent hands-on cutover management experience.
• Strong experience within the SAP ecosystem, with S/4HANA and particularly S/4 Finance cutover experience being the core requirement.
• Exposure to wider SAP environments such as SuccessFactors and/or Ariba would be highly beneficial, although candidates without S/4 Finance experience are unlikely to be suitable.
• Supporting detailed cutover planning and execution, including go-live rehearsals, activity sequencing, dependencies, readiness and coordination across multiple teams.
• Working effectively alongside a senior Cutover Lead, providing delivery and execution capability rather than competing for overall strategic ownership of the cutover.
• Operating successfully within high-pressure programmes where cutover plans have limited contingency and require flexibility around working hours, weekends and shift coverage.
• Working in client-facing environments where visibility, communication and onsite presence are important alongside successful delivery.
