* Collaborate with Mars teams, system integrators, and technical leads to ensure proper sequencing, quality, and compliance.
* Lead release readiness and cutover planning.
* Proactively identify and manage risks, providing updates to senior stakeholders.
* Ensure all release activities follow change management and audit protocols.
* Continuously improve release processes and tools for better efficiency and visibility.
* Foster strong cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder engagement.
What are we looking for?
* 5+ years of SAP release or deployment management experience in large-scale programs.
* Deep understanding of SAP transport and change control in complex, multi-system environments.
* Familiarity with tools like SAP CALM, ActiveControl, and other release automation solutions.
* Strong communication, coordination, and risk management skills.
* Inclusive leadership mindset and a passion for working across diverse teams.
* Experience working with system integrators, business teams, and external partners.

What can you expect from Mars?
* Work with over 140,000 diverse and talented Associates, all guided by the Five Principles.
* Join a purpose driven company, where we’re striving to build the world we want tomorrow, today.
* Best-in-class learning and development support from day one, including access to our in-house Mars University.
