SAP Programme Director

As a SAP Programme Director, you will play a pivotal role in guiding our clients through transformative journeys across the full lifecycle of SAP programmes. From shaping strategic propositions and offering advisory services to delivering impactful programmes and embedding lasting change, you will be at the heart of innovation and collaboration. You will serve as a trusted partner to executive stakeholders, contributing to board-level governance and often co-leading steering group and programme board meetings. You will be responsible for delivering successful, value-driven programmes while nurturing long-term client relationships and identifying opportunities for future growth.

We are looking for someone who thrives on building inclusive, high-performing teams and who embraces modern delivery techniques and tools to drive continuous improvement.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

Your role: This is a unique opportunity to join one of the fastest-growing SAP practices in the UK, working with FTSE 100 clients and leading-edge SAP technologies including S/4HANA, Business Suite on HANA, CX, Ariba, SuccessFactors, and UX. We delivered the UK’s first HEC project and continue to support clients in unlocking the full potential of SAP.

Key responsibilities:

• Collaborate with clients to deliver successful SAP programmes aligned with business goals.
• Lead responses to RFPs and contribute to building a strong pipeline of opportunities.
• Build and maintain trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and CXOs.
• Champion continuous improvement and innovation in delivery practices.
• Foster inclusive, flexible, and high-performing teams.

You can bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini, building an inclusive future is part of everyday life and will be part of your working reality. We have built a representative and welcoming environment for everyone.

Your skills and experience: We are seeking candidates with a blend of technical expertise, leadership, and a collaborative mindset. Even if you don’t meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply - we value diverse experiences and perspectives.

• Experience in consultancy, particularly in systems integration.
• Ability to inspire and align teams around a shared vision.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Proven success in leading SAP programmes and navigating complex challenges.
• Experience in commercial and contract management, with a focus on budget and forecasting.

As part of our commitment to inclusive recruitment, we will offer an interview to all candidates who declare they have a disability and meet the minimum essential criteria for the role.

Your security clearance: To be successfully appointed to this role, it is a requirement to obtain Security Check (SC) clearance. To obtain SC clearance, the successful applicant must have resided continuously within the United Kingdom for the last 5 years, along with other criteria and requirements. Throughout the recruitment process, you will be asked questions about your security clearance eligibility such as, but not limited to, country of residence and nationality. Some posts are restricted to sole UK Nationals for security reasons; therefore, you may be asked about your citizenship in the application process.

We see a healthy and happy workforce as a critical component for us to achieve our organisational ambitions. To help support wellbeing, we have trained ‘Mental Health Champions’ across each of our business areas, and we have invested in wellbeing apps such as Thrive and Peppy.
