Role: Strategic Lead Asia – SAP Transformation

Position overview

We are seeking experienced SAP professionals to take a senior leadership role, bringing their expertise in EPI-USE Labs products, clients, and the global SAP ecosystem to drive growth and delivery excellence across our specialist global service lines, which deliver SAP solutions and services to clients worldwide.

This role is global in scope, with flexibility to work across time zones and regular international travel (typically 15–45%, occasionally more). As part of the senior leadership team, you will lead by example – promoting collaboration, integrity, and teamwork across the organisation.
