* Experience within manufacturing, engineering, or industrial environments
* Exposure to ERP / SAP implementations or business transformation projects
* Strong stakeholder management and ability to influence at all levels
* Experience managing multiple projects or workstreams at once
* Ability to report into senior leadership and communicate clearly
* Strong organisational skills and ability to manage pressure
* Background in capital projects or business improvement is beneficial

Why this Senior Programme Manager role stands out:
* Take full ownership of a major SAP implementation
* Direct exposure to the MD and senior leadership team
* Play a key role in a £60M investment programme
* Clear progression into the Senior Leadership Team
* High-autonomy role with real influence across the business
* Opportunity to move into leading major capex projects post-ERP
The opportunity:
This Senior Programme Manager role is ideal for someone looking to step into a business-critical position, take ownership of a major transformation, and progress into senior leadership.
