** The Job
** Transition is the magic word at STICHD these days. We are in an exciting phase as a company, and our Program Management team plays an important role in ensuring we bring strategy and execution together from a project point of view.
As a Program manager, you will be responsible for the planning, execution and closing of projects according to scope, deadlines and budget. You ensure alignment between different projects, cross-functional project team members and other stakeholders to drive business success. Your main responsibility will be to deliver measurable project results, managing implementation milestones and due dates, and creating awareness of dependencies and risks.

You keep the bigger picture in mind while making sure plans are translated into action.
The Program Manager we are looking for will focus on strategic projects where business transformation is the main objective. Their interests and expertise should therefore align with this focus. These transformations are heavily dependent on and supported by changes in our core enterprise systems, such as PLM, ERP (SAP S/4

HANA), WMS and/or the integration of these systems.
For the coming two years, the focus of the person in this role will be on managing multiple connected projects to gradually replace our warehouse management system. The program’s roadmap has been defined, and implementation is already partly underway: a perfect moment for you to step in and own it. You will be required to bring with you experience in managing complex projects with similar technical and organizational impact.
