We are looking for an experienced professional with a strong background in team leadership and project management to take on the role of Team Lead in a large-scale, strategic data migration project.

Project Objective
The primary goal is to migrate all internal financial and accounting processes from various country-specific systems—currently operating independently—into a global solution. This transformation will significantly enhance data quality, traceability, operational efficiency, and corporate decision-making.

* Collaboration with the Business Analyst: Work closely to ensure migration processes align with business needs and functional requirements.
* Development Guidelines: Define and maintain clear development standards and best practices to ensure project quality and compliance.
* Adaptability & Continuous Improvement: Adjust the plan according to evolving needs, propose improvements, assess impacts, and manage transitions between systems where needed.
* Global Communication: Act as a key liaison across local and international teams, adapting to diverse cultures, systems, and working styles. Escalate critical issues to global leadership when necessary.
* Decision-Making: Make informed, consensus-based decisions and serve as a backup to the Project Lead when needed.
Required Qualifications

* Proven experience in large-scale data migration projects.
* Functional knowledge of financial and accounting processes.
* Familiarity with SAP as the target system supporting core business processes.

Nice to Have
