- Collaborate with technical, security, and other functional domain leads to ensure integrated, end-to-end solutions
- Engage with the authorization team to establish and implement appropriate security models within the FLM/TM domain
- Drive issue resolution across implementation, testing, and upgrade cycles
- Review and provide input to shared project deliverables including UAT plans, configuration documents, and cutover strategies
- Monitor system performance post-go-live and lead fine-tuning activities to ensure peak operational performance
- Participate in change request assessment and document justification for scope changes
Education

- SAP Certification in a relevant module (PM, EAM, TM, or equivalent) — mandatory
- Business-level proficiency in both Arabic and English — mandatory
Experience
- 15+ years of SAP experience with deep functional expertise in FLM (SAP PM/EAM fleet application) and/or SAP TM

- Hands-on experience with SAP Activate methodology across the full project lifecycle
