What does this mean for you?

Your new role and environment.

We are looking for an experienced Program Manager to lead a strategic modernization program focused on migrating a legacy SAP Hybris platform to a cloud-native microservices architecture.

This role requires a strong delivery leader who can own the program end-to-end, balancing business objectives, technology transformation, delivery execution, and commercial outcomes. The Program Manager will be accountable for all aspects of the engagement, including program governance, stakeholder alignment, delivery management, financial performance, risk management, and customer satisfaction.

The ideal candidate has experience leading large-scale transformation programs, managing multiple delivery streams and stakeholders, and operating with full accountability for scope, schedule, budget, quality, and P&L.

Program Leadership & Delivery

• Own the modernization program from planning through implementation and business adoption.
• Manage scope, schedule, quality, risks, dependencies, and delivery across multiple workstreams.
• Coordinate engineering, architecture, product, infrastructure, security, and business teams.
• Establish effective governance, reporting, and executive communication mechanisms.
• Drive stakeholder alignment and facilitate key program decisions.
• Ensure successful migration to a cloud-native architecture while minimizing business disruption.
• Track delivery performance and take corrective actions when needed.

Commercial & Operational Ownership

• Own the program P&L, including budget, forecast, actuals, and margin performance.
• Manage resource planning, staffing, and utilization across the program.
• Identify and mitigate delivery and commercial risks.
• Provide accurate program reporting, KPIs, forecasts, and status updates.
• Support planning, estimation, and business case development for future initiatives.
• Drive continuous improvement and ensure achievement of targeted business outcomes.

Success Metrics

• Delivery of modernization roadmap within agreed scope, schedule, and budget.
• Program profitability and financial performance.
• Stakeholder and customer satisfaction.
• Effective management of risks, dependencies, and organizational change.
• Successful adoption of the new cloud-native platform and realization of business benefits.

What’s in it for you?

We ask a lot. (We’re looking for the best, after all). But we offer a lot, too.

So, what do we have in store for you? We offer flexible hours and a hybrid working model, allowing you to work both from home and at the office. We provide competitive benefits to support health, well-being and your professional growth. This includes: a significant budget on benefit platform and a yearly bonus. At AD01 we welcome everyone, just the way you are, and encourage individual growth with valuable opportunities and a worldwide across-brand network.

Requirements.

We think you’ll be best geared for success if you can meet the following requirements:

• 7+ years of Program, Delivery, or Transformation Management experience in large enterprise environments.
• Proven experience leading complex modernization, cloud migration, or microservices transformation programs.
• Strong understanding of modern software delivery, cloud platforms, APIs, microservices, and Agile delivery models.
• Experience managing multi-team, multi-vendor programs with significant business and technical dependencies.
• Strong financial management skills, including budget ownership, forecasting, P&L, and margin management.
• Executive-level stakeholder management and governance experience.
• Strong risk, issue, dependency, and change management capabilities.
• Experience with Jira, Confluence, reporting, and delivery metrics.
• PMP, PRINCE2, SAFe, or equivalent certifications are a plus.

It goes without saying that so-called ‘soft skills’ are just as important as their ‘hard’ cousins. We highly value:

• People and stakeholder management skills
• Teamwork and ability to operate within a large team in a matrix organization: involves others, shares knowledge and seeks opportunities for cross functional working and collaboration
• Excellent communication and decision-making skills: ability to clearly communicate with both technical team, management, and business stakeholders
• Excellent command of the English language both written & spoken.
