About the Role

Delivery Lead - Core Finance Solutions, you will take end-to-end ownership of SAP Fioneer's most strategic Finance engagements across North America — from early-stage advisory through to full programme delivery.

You will work across our finance engaging with clients at the point where business transformation decisions are made. This is not a role that starts at contract signature — you will be involved early, shaping scope, aligning stakeholders, and building the foundation for successful delivery..

Large-scale finance transformations demand sustained focus. Clients who trust SAP Fioneer with their most strategic programmes have high expectations — and rightly so. This role is for someone who can meet that standard: deeply engaged, consistently present, and genuinely invested in the outcome.

You will work closely with senior and C-level stakeholders to shape solutions around their specific objectives — and then see those solutions through to delivery. On time, within budget, and to a quality that earns the next conversation.

What this requires above all is passion for the work and the resilience to stay the course through complexity — the kind of commitment that turns a difficult programme into a reference that opens doors.

Key Responsibilities

• Engage with clients early in the programme lifecycle — before contract signature — to shape scope, align stakeholders, and build the foundation for successful delivery
• Take end-to-end ownership of large-scale lending transformation programmes with Finance clients
• Build trusted relationships with senior and C-level client stakeholders, acting as the primary point of accountability throughout the engagement
• Develop client-specific solutions that address their strategic objectives — translating business needs into concrete delivery roadmaps
• Ensure programme delivery on time, within budget, and to a quality standard that strengthens SAP Fioneer's reputation and positions the team for the next engagement
• Build, develop, and lead high-performing delivery teams, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous learning
• Collaborate closely with product, architecture, and sales teams to ensure solutions are technically sound and commercially viable
• Identify and proactively manage delivery risks across programmes, escalating where necessary with clear mitigation proposals

Requirements

• Proven experience delivering large-scale lending technology programmes in North America, with particular depth in core Finance software
• Strong track record in end-to-end programme management — from early scoping through to go-live — with full accountability for quality, scope, and budget
• Experience building and leading high-performing delivery teams in complex, cross-functional environments
• Demonstrated ability to engage and align C-level stakeholders, combining strategic advisory skills with hands-on delivery ownership
• Solid understanding of lending architecture, system integration, and cloud-based platform design
• Experience working with core banking or lending platforms; knowledge of SAP Fioneer solutions is a strong asset
• Entrepreneurial mindset — comfortable operating in a fast-moving, lean organisation where initiative and judgement matter
• Willingness to travel extensively across North America
• Excellent communication and leadership skills
