The SAP Global Template & Integration Manager will serve as the primary integration point between NSK Americas, NSK Japan, and the external partners supporting NSK's global SAP S/4

This position will ensure that regional requirements, global-template standards, technical dependencies, and project decisions are clearly understood and coordinated across all parties. The role will help project leaders to evaluate alternatives, understand impacts and risks, and make timely, well-informed decisions. This is a senior leadership and integration position, not solely a traditional Project Management Office, functional consulting, or technical SAP role.

• Coordinate the evaluation and resolution of global-template deviations and local requirements.
• Ensure approved decisions and changes are reflected in process designs, system configurations, project plans, and documentation.

Program Integration

• Serve as the central coordination point among NSK Americas, NSK Japan, implementation partners, project leadership, and workstream teams.
• Coordinate cross-functional dependencies involving business processes, system configuration, interfaces, data migration, testing, training, infrastructure, security, and change management.
• Ensure decisions within one workstream are evaluated for potential impacts on other work streams, countries, and project deliverables.
• Identify communication, ownership, and coordination gaps before they affect project milestones.
• Promote consistent understanding of priorities, responsibilities, deliverables, and deadlines.

Decision Support

• Help project leaders define issues clearly and identify the decisions required.
• Prepare decision materials summarizing options, benefits, risks, costs, dependencies, and business impacts.
• Provide objective recommendations based on global-template alignment, business needs, project risk, and implementation feasibility.
• Facilitate cross-functional discussions and decision-making meetings.
• Confirm decision ownership and ensure decisions are completed within the required timeframe.
• Escalate unresolved or high-impact decisions through the appropriate governance structure.

Governance & Risk Management

• Support the implementation and continuous improvement of the SAP program governance model.
• Maintain alignment among the RACI matrix, RAID log, Decision log, Action Tracker, and escalation process.
• Monitor critical risks,…
