SAP Project Manager

Challenge yourself and us

At AdvanceWorks, we learn, grow, and have fun together. And we do all this while creating great software solutions for clients across many industries and geographies.

We are constantly challenging ourselves and each other to use the latest technologies and the best methodologies and make sure we walk the talk.

Exciting as it may sound, we also have our red lines: each of us is a unique person, with unique opinions, beliefs, options, interests, hopes, and fears. With the right to speak its mind, be mindful of the common goals, and always be constructive.

The way we respect each other, discuss different points of view, and challenge ourselves and each other while tackling our common challenges makes us strong. United. Brave. And sure that there will be a better tomorrow, even when we do mistakes. Because we learn from our failures and successes.

What will be your role

We are looking for a hands-on SAP Project Manager (S/4HANA Cloud) to join a leading international client in the space industry. The client is a European reference in high-tech manufacturing, and its Lisbon operation has been growing.

The client is running several initiatives on SAP S/4HANA Cloud and needs someone to drive them forward. This is not a classic PMO role focused only on planning and reporting. We are looking for someone with initiative, who follows up on open topics, talks to the different areas, and makes sure things actually happen.

You will manage SAP initiatives in a very operational way: picking up topics, unblocking them with stakeholders, and taking them all the way to completion.

It’s an opportunity to work in a high-tech sector, in an international context, and with a team that is growing fast.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and lead initiatives in the SAP S/4HANA Cloud context, from kick-off to delivery.
• Follow up on open topics, identify blockers, and find solutions together with the teams involved.
• Engage with stakeholders from different areas, both technical and business, aligning expectations and priorities.
• Run meetings and decision points, and make sure agreed actions are followed through.
• Track the progress of initiatives and clearly communicate status, risks, and next steps.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, contributing to shared goals and integrating diverse perspectives.

Who will work by your side?

You will work as part of a team on a project and also with the AdvanceWorks team, a team of experts, and thus become part of a team of people who care about each other. Amazing people and professionals who are proud of their technology and leadership skills yet eager to learn from you and be challenged.

They will want to know you and understand your motivations and aspirations, but also your pitfalls and development needs. People who will be there for a personalized onboarding, to listen to you, and to challenge you. To help you become a better person and professional, challenging you and helping you to challenge yourself. And to invite you for a drink after work (yes, even in remote!), because there is nothing as good and positive as a good laugh.

You’ll also work side by side with our clients, spanning a wide range of industries and countries. And that means working with more bright minds, being empathetic about each other, and always keeping in mind that every brilliant piece of software we produce has two objectives: to achieve a specific business goal, and to make the people who built it as successful as you want to be.

What should you bring to the team?

• Experience managing projects or initiatives in SAP environments, preferably S/4HANA or SAP Cloud.
• A proactive and operational profile, with initiative and autonomy.
• Strong soft skills and confidence engaging with stakeholders across different levels and areas.
• The ability to energize people and follow topics through until they are closed.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Fluent English (C1 level).
• The capacity to listen & influence people and foster change in a collaborative way.
• A keen commitment to your team.
• The passion to do what you love the most, and the perseverance to make your/the teams’ dreams come true.
• The courage to question the status quo in a constructive and empathic way.
• An unshakable desire to keep on learning, and the willingness to share what you already know.

What is in it for you?

• Work with an international team;
• To have a leading role in a huge team, and work with a multinational team;
• An amazing informal culture of smart hardworking and friendly people that support and care about each other;
• A mentorship program since day 1;
• Be involved in strategic and operational initiatives beyond the scope of your main mission;
• Formal training and certifications in technology, methodology, and relational skills;
• Challenging projects with exciting clients and state-of-the-art technology;
• A dynamic company where you can make a difference and where talent and results matter (and politics do not);
• Flexibility with responsibility;
• Happy hours and after-hours feel-good actions.
