Contract SAP Programme / Project Manager - Outside IR35

Location: UK (Remote / Hybrid depending on client)

Engagement: Contract (Outside IR35 opportunities)

Start: Ongoing pipeline of projects

Industry: SAP S/4HANA & Cloud ERP Transformation

We're building a network of high-calibre Programme and Project Managers to lead the next phase of SAP S/4HANA and Cloud ERP work for our growing client base. Our engagements focus on post-go-live optimisation, cloud extensions, functional roll-outs and targeted improvement programmes - not bloated multi-year SI programmes.

This role is ideal for senior contractors who want to lead lean, high-impact delivery teams and work directly with business and IT stakeholders to drive measurable outcomes.

What You'll Lead

You will take ownership of project delivery across areas such as:

Post-go-live stabilisation & optimisation (O2C, P2P, Inventory, MRP)

SAP S/4HANA Cloud (Public or Private) enhancement programmes

SAP BTP extension projects & workflow automation

Functional roll-outs (new plants/entities, aATP, EWM, TM, QM)

Data quality, migration, archiving & clean-core remediation

Fiori/UX improvements & security role redesign

Integration streams (3PL, CRM, MES, supplier portals)

Release management & regression testing (for Cloud ERP)

Each engagement is delivered as a structured work package with clear scope, milestones and deliverables - and you'll be leading that from initiation through to handover.

What We're Looking For

Proven experience delivering SAP S/4HANA or major SAP ERP workstreams

Strong project governance, RAID management and stakeholder leadership

Ability to run lean delivery squads effectively - using senior specialists, not large SI-style pyramids

Comfortable working in fast-paced environments with multiple stakeholders

Experience with Cloud ERP (S/4HANA Public or Private) or RISE/GROW preferred

A contractor mindset: outcome-driven, hands-on, accountable

Why Work With Us?

We avoid the traditional SI model - we build the perfect, senior-only team for each engagement

Our programmes are focused, high-impact and delivery-first, not administrative

We are typically 50% more cost-effective than large SIs, which helps us win high-value projects

You'll lead meaningful work that actually gets delivered, without layers of unnecessary hierarchy

Strong pipeline of upcoming optimisation and transformation engagements

If you're an experienced SAP Programme or Project Manager who enjoys leading pragmatic, outcome-driven delivery and wants to work with a consultancy that values capability over headcount, we'd love to speak with you.
