About The Position

Champion Your Future with Tarkett Sports! Build your career with a world leader in sports construction and surfacing. We are looking for a hands-on SAP S4HANA Project Manager to lead a multi-phase greenfield Public Cloud implementation and shape the project governance that doesn’t yet exist. This is a true builder role — high visibility, high ownership, and the chance to define how major programs get delivered across our Manufacturing and Construction operations. You’ll be the force that keeps the SI accountable, the business protected, and the program moving. You will be reporting to the Senior Director, ERP Modernization • Information Technology. The position is remote to the United States, preference in Georgia, Atlanta and requires heavy travel in Canada and United States. Born from an entrepreneurial spirit and driven to find better solutions, Tarkett Sports challenges the status quo and continues to change the game for athletes and facility owners—pioneering innovations that have reshaped entire industries. From architectural design and full-scope construction to a comprehensive portfolio of industry-leading sports surfacing solutions, we lead with passion, pride, and purpose. Trusted at every level, from professional stadiums to local community venues, Tarkett Sports is at the surface of over 80,000 installations – highlighted by projects in NFL, CFL, MLS, and at renowned NCAA division I programs. Join the team behind renowned names like FieldTurf, Beynon Sports, ClassicCourt, GrassMaster, Tarkett Sports Indoor and Tarkett Sports Construction. Help us build the next world-class venue. Why This Role Matters: You’re not stepping into a machine — you’re building it. This is your chance to create the project management culture for a company undergoing a major digital transformation. You’ll have autonomy, visibility, and the mandate to run the program the right way.
