A leading retail organisation based in London are looking for an Interim SAP Warehouse Management Implementation Project Manager, for an initial 12 month contract, paying circa £625p/d-£725p/d.

The role is accountable for the end to end delivery of a new warehouse management system, warehouse infrastructure, processes, training and migration activities from an existing warehouse system. The role is expected to set up and maintain strong project governance and controls throughout the project lifecycle, build and maintain a high performing project team of in house and third party resources, deliver the end to end systems, infrastructure, processes and training, lead the resolution of all issues and risks (systems and business), manage migration/cut over from the existing system, and maintain accurate and timely reporting to all stakeholders.

The implementation will be replacing the current system. The warehouse itself will remain in the current site so migration will involve systems and processes but not physical movement of stock between sites. It is envisaged that much of the current warehouse IT infrastructure will remain in situ and may be available for reuse but will need to be migrated over to another network, gaps filled, and the end to end infrastructure assured before cut over. Depending on the WMS system selection which will complete in January 2017 there may also be a systems hosting element to manage.
