About The Position

LANL is undertaking a greenfield SAP S/4HANA modernization effort and needs a senior, client-side data migration authority who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the System Integrator's data lead as a technical peer. This role requires someone who has led enterprise SAP data migrations from the inside of a major System Integrator and has since moved into client-side advisory work. The individual will own the day-to-day execution of the client's data workstream while also serving as an independent, senior voice on migration architecture, data quality, and go-live readiness.

Requirements

• 15+ years leading enterprise SAP data migration workstreams, with at least 4 full lifecycle S/4HANA programs delivered end to end, greenfield preferred.
• Experience running the data workstream from inside a major System Integrator, followed by client-side advisory work.
• Deep hands-on experience migrating from non-SAP sources (Oracle EBS, JD Edwards, PeopleSoft, custom systems) into SAP.
• Full scope enterprise migration experience spanning Finance, Supply Chain, HR/HCM, Plant Maintenance / EAM, and Master Data.
• Deep understanding of S/4HANA data models, business partner concept, universal journal, and material ledger.
• Strong grounding in data migration methodology, including ETL design, reconciliation, cutover sequencing, and hypercare support.
• Hands-on exposure to at least one regulated compliance framework (HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, GDPR, or FedRAMP), with demonstrated ability to translate requirements into migration controls.
• Excellent communication, able to move fluidly from executive readouts to deep technical review with the SI's engineers.
• U.S. Citizenship required.
• Must have worked the data migration workstream from inside a major System Integrator, followed by client side advisory work, candidates without this specific career path will not be considered.
• Must have direct, hands-on experience migrating from non-SAP sources (Oracle EBS, JD Edwards, PeopleSoft, or custom systems) into SAP.
• Must have hands-on exposure to at least one regulated compliance framework (HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, GDPR, or FedRAMP) applied to data migration controls.

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience with Oracle EBS as the source system.
• Familiarity with SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC), Databricks, or Snowflake as staging/reconciliation environments.
• SAP certifications (S/4HANA, Data Migration, or comparable).
• Experience in audit-heavy sectors such as financial services, healthcare, life sciences, pharma, or government.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the client-side senior authority on SAP data migration, facing off to the System Integrator's data lead as a technical peer.
• Review and challenge the SI's data migration approach where it carries unnecessary risk, cost, or downstream operational burden.
• Advise on migration architecture for greenfield S/4HANA from non-SAP sources, including legacy concept to SAP concept mapping and tooling trade-offs.
• Own day-to-day execution coordination of the client-side data workstream across all domains.
• Serve as the daily point of contact with the SI's data migration team, tracking deliverables and escalating delays.
• Run working sessions with client data owners and the integrator's team, driving open actions and decisions to closure.
• Set and monitor cleansing standards across data domains, validating that the SI's quality criteria are fit for go-live.
• Organize and track mock load cycles and review reconciliation results independently of the SI.
• Surface data quality risks the SI may not flag, including missing legacy concepts and silent data loss in transformation.
• Ensure data migration activities comply with data classification policy and applicable regulatory requirements.
• Maintain the data migration cutover plan and prepare data readiness inputs for go or no-go decisions.
• Support hypercare on data-related issues post go-live, and provide migration status reporting to program leadership.
