IT Leadership Consultant SAP S/4HANA Implementation

Job Overview

We are seeking an experienced and adaptable IT Leadership Consultant to support a Private Cloud SAP S/4HANA implementation project. This is a hands-on leadership role ideal for either a seasoned professional seeking part-time work or an ambitious individual ready to grow into a strategic IT leadership role in a high-impact environment.

The organization is a small holding company with 4 6 entities and approximately 60 employees. They do not have an internal IT department, so the selected candidate will play a critical role in providing both strategic oversight and operational support throughout the implementation and beyond.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee day-to-day IT activities related to the SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud implementation.

• Act as the internal point of contact and liaison between the implementation partner (System Integrator) and internal business stakeholders.

• Provide hands-on leadership to ensure alignment between project goals, business requirements, and technical execution.

• Support post-go-live operations, helping to define and build internal capabilities for ongoing system support.

• Collaborate with business leaders to understand operational needs and ensure proper IT support structures are being developed.

• Facilitate knowledge transfer and training for end users and potential future IT hires.

Qualifications

Required:

• Proven experience in an IT leadership or consulting role (formal or informal).

• Strong communication and coordination skills across technical and non-technical teams.

• Comfortable working in a hands-on, startup-style environment with minimal existing infrastructure.

• Ability to operate autonomously, while providing structure and direction to the project team.

Preferred:

• Familiarity with SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud implementations.

• Experience working in a small-to-mid-sized company environment, especially with limited IT resources.

• Background in supporting post-go-live SAP operations and internal capability building.

• Prior exposure to private equity-owned businesses is a plus.

Work Arrangement

• Remote Work: This is a remote-first role with flexibility.

• Travel: Occasional travel may be required during key phases of the project (e.g., go-live support).

• Engagement Type: Open to both full-time and part-time arrangements depending on candidate experience and availability.

Ideal Candidate Profile

This role is ideal for:

• A senior IT professional seeking flexible or part-time consulting work.

• A rising IT leader looking to step into a more strategic, high-ownership role with growth potential.
