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

- 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

- 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
