Transformation Program Lead (m/f/d)

How does a family-owned company become the global market leader in the premium segment for domestic appliances and a trusted partner for solutions in commercial and medical technology? By striving to always do better and to keep improving. This mindset defines what it means to work at Miele and drives the success of our products. Our approximately 23,000 employees can rely on one thing: those who embrace our commitment to quality will grow – both personally and professionally.

• You take full ownership of the end-to-end SAP S/4HANA transformation program, covering business process redesign, IT transformation, carve-out activities, and the establishment of dedicated legal entities.
• In this role, you align business process strategy, operational transformation, and technology implementation to ensure measurable and sustainable business outcomes across the organization.
• Together with executive stakeholders, you establish and lead a robust governance framework, including steering committees, decision forums, as well as comprehensive risk and financial management structures.
• You lead complex, multi-year, multi-vendor program environments with multiple parallel workstreams, ensuring seamless alignment across business, operations, and IT.
