Company: Alghanim Industries

Long Description

Alghanim Industries is a multibillion-dollar conglomerate with more than 30 businesses and one of the largest privately-owned companies in the Persian Gulf region, predominantly in Kuwait. Its operations spread across 40 different countries.

The role will be based in Kuwait. The person will be part of the Digital practice, predominantly focusing on the following business units:

Alghanim Industries is currently experiencing a transformation that will result in a shift from a “Project based” to a “Product based” organization, in line with the most technology-advanced and agile companies at a global level.

In a product-based organization, employees are grouped around the product they work on, rather than individual roles or attributes, working according to agile methodologies. IT organizations and product developers co-create products and services with the business, rather than simply collecting requirements and executing the projects.

The SAP Lead Project Manager will report directly to the SAP Product Owner, having overall responsibility for the entire project portfolio. This role will directly manage a number of SAP functional consultants based in Kuwait and India. You will further be expected to manage external third parties involved in project delivery.

This individual will have good communication skills, strong analytical and problem-solving skills as well as a passion for Retail. Strong presentation skills are required, as well as the confidence to manage multiple stakeholders from business teams, IT teams, external vendors and delivery partners. It is expected that the individual is a keen follower of technology trends.
