Your Responsibilities:

• Play a key role in the strategic transformation of the current SAP HCM landscape to SAP S/4HANA, ensuring alignment with future-ready HR process models and architecture.
• Actively contribute to streamlining, standardizing, and harmonizing HR processes and systems across the global HR landscape to enable an integrated and efficient digital HR ecosystem.
• Take ownership of sub-projects design, configuration, and operational implementation of SAP SuccessFactors Talent Modules (Performance & Goals, Learning, Succession, Recruiting).

• Hands-on experience with data migration activities (e.g., data cleansing, transformation, and import) is a strong advantage.
• Proven ability to take ownership of deliverables and drive sub-projects end-to-end with minimal supervision.
