SAP Programme Director
Lead a $150M Greenfield SAP Transformation 
The Opportunity

Talent Aligned has partnered with an iconic Australian health organization to secure a seasoned SAP Programme Director.
This is an extremely rare and urgent opportunity to take the helm of a $150 million greenfield SAP implementation. With the discovery phase successfully completed, we are seeking a strategic leader to drive the pivotal build phase and deliver a monumental technology transformation.

This role offers exceptional flexibility in its engagement model. Our client is open to a two-year Fixed Term Contract with a one-year extension option, or a daily rate contract structure.

The Role:

As the SAP Programme Director, you will act as the strategic anchor for this massive initiative, reporting directly to and managing the executive leadership committee.
You will inherit a robust internal structure, with the PMO Lead and Tech PM reporting directly to you.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Driving the programme from the completed discovery phase through to build, testing, and eventual go-live.

  • Managing and guiding multiple tier-one integration partners and external vendors.

  • Overseeing the complex transition from legacy Oracle and JD Edwards systems to a modern SAP environment.

  • Fostering a collaborative and high-performance culture across all internal tech teams and external stakeholders.

About You:

We are looking for a true technology leader. Our client highly values a balanced and collaborative approach to leadership.
We are seeking an individual who can drive rigorous delivery standards without relying on an abrasive management style.
Your ability to quickly build trust, unite the team, and establish immediate momentum is critical to the success of this programme.

Requirements for success:
  • Proven experience acting as a Programme Director on large-scale enterprise technology transformations in SAP.

  • Demonstrated success in delivering multiple SAP modules end-to-end on major enterprise projects.

  • Strong functional knowledge of legacy Oracle and JD Edwards environments to effectively manage the migration strategy would be a benefit

  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with the ability to lead executive committees and align diverse business units.

  • A resilient and empathetic leadership style focused on team cohesion, minimizing friction, and ensuring sustainable delivery.

The Package:
  • Extremely generous packages available at very senior levels both Contract and Fixed term for the right level of experience. 

  • Location: Hybrid working model requiring 3 days a week in a premium Sydney inner-city corporate office.

Next Steps:

This is an immediate and critical requirement for our client. If you possess the scale of experience and the collaborative leadership mindset required to deliver this landmark programme, we need to speak with you today.
