YOUR MISSION:
New Foundations is Richemont’s multi-year transformation programme to simplify and align business processes and technology in preparation for the Group’s migration to SAP S/4HANA. It is designed to create the organisational, governance and delivery foundations needed to enable a successful, scalable and business-led ERP transformation.
As Programme Manager for New Foundations, you will own the day-to-day orchestration, cadence and operational discipline of this strategic transformation programme. You will ensure the programme runs as a single, integrated effort, with decisions, risks and dependencies tracked and executed consistently across all workstreams.

Maintain a single integrated view of the programme and own its cadence and rhythm — planning cycles, forums, milestones and decision tracking.
Prepare and drive arbitration processes with relevant stakeholders, framing options, impacts and trade-offs for the Programme Director and Group Platforms Executive Committee (ExCo).
Track decisions and non-negotiables, ensuring commitments are clearly recorded and reflected in plans and deliverables, following up on actions, managing slippage and escalating risks early.
