By leveraging deep SAP expertise and a proactive, governance-driven mindset, you will ensure that design, configuration, and process changes are translated into clear testing scope and integrated execution priorities that support platform stability and business confidence at scale.
Responsibilities- Serve as the integration point across SAP delivery programs, working closely with testing, integration, cutover, architecture, and product teams to ensure coordinated execution and release readiness

- Lead the integration of the testing perspective across Supply Chain, Finance, Invoicing, MMP, and related SAP capabilities
- Ensure that end-to-end impacts are understood and reflected in testing coverage, and that dependencies, interfaces, and data flows are consistently accounted for across teams
- Proactively engage upstream to identify integration risks, scope gaps, and sequencing challenges early in the lifecycle, before execution begins
- Partner with architecture and delivery teams to ensure that downstream testing and cutover implications are understood ahead of execution, reducing late-cycle defects and rework
- Provide visibility into cross-program dependencies, integration risks, and testing gaps to enable leadership to make informed, risk-based decisions on delivery timing and readiness
- Support broader testing enabler and toolchain initiatives, ensuring improved traceability across design, testing, defects, and release readiness
- Drive cross-functional coordination to resolve issues, perform root cause analysis, and continuously improve delivery outcomes
- Promote consistency, standardization, and continuous improvement across testing scope, readiness, and execution practices
- Thrive in a highly matrixed, fast-paced global environment, collaborating effectively across teams in the US and India

- Ability to assess gaps in testing coverage and ensure alignment across teams to support integrated execution
Preferred Experience:- Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in a highly matrixed environment, influencing outcomes across testing, integration, cutover, architecture, and product teams without direct ownership of delivery
- Strong governance and systems thinking mindset, with the ability to identify risks, drive alignment, and improve visibility across cross-program dependencies

- Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to effectively engage diverse, multicultural stakeholders across time zones
