Our client is seeking a senior Product Owner/SAP COE Manager to lead the next phase of their SAP S/4 HANA journey.

Implement modern, agile and multi‑speed delivery, significantly improving speed to value
Lead and develop a high‑performing team, shifting behaviours from traditional to product‑led ways of working
Requirements
Proven leader in SAP environments (ideally S/4HANA) in a Product Owner / Product Lead / similar role
Experience building or transforming a COE or shared services function
Strong track record in roadmap ownership, backlog management, and value delivery
Ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive adoption across the business
Experience moving organisations from traditional delivery to agile/product‑led models
Comfortable leading technical teams without needing deep hands‑on SAP expertise
