PSE is launching a progressive multi‑year SAP S/4 HANA journey that will reshape how we power the Pacific Northwest. We’re seeking a visionary Program Manager to orchestrate this enterprise‑wide digital transformation from day one through successful go‑live. You’ll have a strategic leadership role, powering a complex, multi‑year transformation that touches every corner of our organization. From the initial spark of assessment through the final surge of implementation, you’ll navigate uncharted territories, align diverse stakeholders, and deliver results that will define PSE’s technological future for decades to come.

The most successful candidates will have led multi‑year SAP ERP engagements, be a strategic thinker, and have proactive problem‑solving abilities. They should be well versed in user education and adoption strategies, lead large, cross‑functional teams across multiple complex work streams with exceptional communication and facilitation skills, and align executive leadership, business units, and technical teams. A strong grasp of core SAP modules (FI/CO, MM, SD, HR, PM, ISU Billing) and utilities industry‑specific processes is required, enabling them to thrive in PSE’s vendor‑rich, regulated landscape and translate ambiguous opportunities into high‑impact SAP S/4 implementation.

You will orchestrate the implementation engine that transforms PSE’s SAP S/4 HANA vision into operational reality—streamlining business processes, enhancing data integration capabilities, and modernizing our enterprise systems foundation. If you thrive on delivering successful ERP transformations inside a mission‑driven utility, this is your position.

As the SAP S/4 HANA Program Manager, you’ll lead cross‑functional teams through complex system migrations, ensure seamless integration across utility operations, and establish the digital backbone enabling PSE’s future data and analytics initiatives. Your expertise will be instrumental in reducing system complexity, optimizing operational efficiency, and creating the scalable platform needed to support our clean energy transition and enhanced customer service delivery.
