Employment Contract | Full-time | Hybrid (2–3 days/week from the office) | Garching (Munich) | International travel required

We're looking for Project Manager ERP Modernization (F/M/D) for Amer Sports' office in Garching (Munich).

Amer Sports is a global collective of iconic sports and outdoor brands, powered by a community of people who share a passion for authenticity, impact, and excellence. We bring together leading brands, talented teams, and a culture built on collaboration. If you're looking for an environment where you can make an impact and grow your career, we invite you to explore the opportunity below.

This is your chance to be at the heart of one of Amer Sports' most ambitious transformation initiatives — a global ERP modernization program built on SAP S/4HANA. As Project Manager ERP Modernization, you will build and run a consulting-style PMO from the inside, bringing structure, speed, and clarity to a complex, multi-year program that kicks off with Wilson / North America before rolling out across Europe and beyond. If you thrive at the intersection of strategic thinking and hands-on delivery — and love turning complexity into crisp, decision-ready communication — this role is built for you.

What you will be doing

Building and Running the PMO

• Design, implement, and continuously improve the program's PMO: governance model, methods, reporting standards, templates, and tools
• Establish and enforce RAID discipline (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies) and change control across workstreams and partners
• Shape steering committees, decision forums, and escalation paths based on a thorough understanding of the program's scope, phases, and interdependencies
• Build lasting in-house PMO capability that progressively reduces reliance on external consulting support

Structuring and Communication

• Turn complex or incomplete input into concise, decision-oriented storylines, status updates, and steering materials — often at short notice
• Act as the bridge between technical teams and the business: translate what IT, SAP, and system integrator experts are saying into clear options, impacts, and actionable requests
• Gather data, build fact bases, and synthesize findings into sharp recommendations for program leadership
• Prepare and facilitate workshops and governance meetings so they end with clear decisions, owners, and next steps

Hands-on Project Management

• Step into direct project management of workstreams or cross-functional topics as program needs evolve
• Track progress, risks, and dependencies; escalate early with a clear view of impact and proposed mitigation
• Constructively challenge plans and assumptions with workstream leads and external partners to keep scope, timeline, and quality on track

You will report to the PMO Lead ERP Modernization.

What you need to succeed

Experience & Technical Expertise

• 3–5 years of hands-on project or PMO experience with real delivery responsibility
• Proven track record of setting up or significantly improving PMO methods, governance, or reporting on a large program
• Exposure to ERP implementation or transformation programs — sufficient to understand how they are structured and run
• Experience preparing materials for and presenting to senior stakeholders
• Familiarity with PMO and project management tools such as MS Project, Power BI, Smartsheet, or Jira

Skills & Personal Attributes

• Strong consulting toolkit: structured, hypothesis-driven problem solving and fast, high-quality turnaround of executive-ready materials (strong PowerPoint and Excel)
• Solid understanding of how ERP supports end-to-end business processes (e.g. finance, order-to-cash, supply chain, data, and interfaces)
• Comfortable switching between building the PMO and hands-on project delivery; high ownership, pace, and quality standards
• Confident with stakeholders at all levels — including senior management, external consultants, and system integrators — and able to drive action through influence rather than authority
• Curious, collaborative mindset with a genuine drive to create real impact in a complex, international environment

Languages

• Fluent in English (written and spoken)

Education

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business Administration, Economics, Engineering, Business Informatics / Information Systems, or a related field

What we consider a plus

• Experience at a top-tier strategy or management consulting firm, or a comparably demanding environment
• SAP knowledge, ideally S/4HANA
• German language skills
• PMP, PRINCE2, or agile certification
