Experience:

*Strong background delivering carve-outs, divestitures, spin-offs, or M&A-driven system separations.
*Deep understanding of SAP environments including landscapes, database layers, integrations, and cross-module dependencies.
*Experience performing SAP system migrations, environment builds, system copies, and Basis-level configuration.
*Strong backend technical experience including data migration, code extraction, and SAP environment separation activities.
*Understanding of related systems such as Order Management, Data Warehouse / BI platforms, and connected enterprise applications.
*Familiarity with document management solutions (e.g., OpenText) and warehouse mobility/handheld solutions (e.g., Zetes or similar) is beneficial.
*Ability to analyse in-flight work, identify gaps, stabilise delivery, and ensure robust technical governance.
