Reporting to the Head ERP Implementation and in collaboration with other stakeholders across IATA I&D and IATA Corporate Service teams, you will drive enterprise‑level direction and governance of a multiyear, ERP (SAP) migration program delivered in partnership with one or more System Integrators.

With a strong ERP domain background, you will be ensuring that technology investments deliver coherent, scalable, and business‑aligned outcomes.
