> Royal Ocean Marine · Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia · Full-time · Posted 2026-08-25

**Workplace:** on_site

**Department:** IT (All Industries)

## Description

The SAP Project Manager / Consultant bridges the gap between global maritime operations and enterprise technology. You will lead the design, localization, implementation, and optimization of SAP S/4HANA systems across our shore offices and global fleet. This role requires translating complex shipping workflows (voyage accounting, vessel maintenance, and remote procurement) into robust SAP architecture while managing third-party system integrators.

**Key Responsibilities**

📋 1. Project Management & Delivery (40%)

-   **Lifecycle Leadership:** Direct end-to-end SAP implementation tracks (Blueprinting, Realization, Testing, Cutover, and Hypercare) following SAP Activate methodology.
-   **Vendor & Stakeholder Management:** Govern third-party system integrators and act as the primary liaison between commercial chartering desks, technical superintendents, and corporate finance.
-   **Risk & Scope Mitigation:** Manage project timelines, prevent scope creep, and handle change management frameworks to ensure smooth adoption across shore and ocean-going assets.

⚙️ 2. Functional & Architecture Design (35%)

-   **Voyage Profitability Mapping:** Configure SAP FICO / WBS elements to treat every voyage as an independent profit center, capturing freight revenue, demurrage, bunker expenses, and port dues.
-   **Supply Chain Integration:** Oversee the design of SAP MM/Remote Logistics Management to handle complex ship-board procurement, spare parts inventory tracking, and global port delivery coordinates.
-   **Asset Maintenance (Digital Twin):** Align SAP PM (Plant Maintenance) with Fleet Management Systems to track main engine running hours and forecast capital expenses for scheduled dry-dock overhauls.

🔗 3. System Integration & Interface Design (25%)

-   **Edge & Hybrid Architecture:** Design asynchronous middleware interfaces (via SAP BTP) to handle the "disconnected ship" challenge, ensuring vessel data queues and syncs reliably over low-bandwidth satellite networks (VSAT/Starlink).
-   **Third-Party Ecosystems:** Build robust API integrations connecting corporate SAP ledgers to industry-standard commercial software (e.g., Veson IMOS, DNV ShipManager, or BASSnet).

## Requirements

**Education & Certifications**

-   **Degree:** Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Maritime Studies, or Finance.
-   **Certifications:** PMP / CITPM or SAP Certified Application Associate (S/4HANA) is highly preferred.

**Experience**

-   **Overall Experience:** 6 to 10+ years of IT Project Management and hands-on SAP functional consulting experience.
-   **Industry Domain:** At least 3+ years of direct experience within the **Maritime, Shipping, or Offshore Energy sectors**.

**Technical Skills**

-   **Core SAP Modules:** Deep expertise in at least two of the following: **SAP FICO, SAP MM, SAP PM, or SAP TM (Transportation Management)**.
-   **Data & Middleware:** Strong knowledge of SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), data migration pipelines, and handling structured master data cleansing (vessel registries, port master lists).

**Soft Skills**

-   Strong stakeholder communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical SAP architecture to marine captains and corporate board members alike.
-   Resilience and adaptability to handle the operational volatility of international shipping timelines.

**Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)**

-   **Project Delivery:** Adherence to scheduled budget and timeline milestones for global SAP rollouts.
-   **System Integration:** Minimize data sync latency between third-party maritime software and core SAP ledgers.
-   **Change Management:** High user-adoption rates among shore employees and vessel crews post-hypercare.
