- Establish go-live readiness criteria and support cutover planning
Required Qualifications

- Strong experience in SAP testing AND functional process understanding

- Experience supporting or validating SAP configuration within at least one core module
- Proven ability to lead testing across full lifecycle (SIT through go-live)
- Experience working in cross-functional, highly integrated SAP environments
- Strong understanding of end-to-end business processes (O2C, P2P, R2R)
