We are looking for you to fill the role of Senior Manager Deployment (f/m/d) in our strategic and global Business Transformation Program at the KION Headquarters in Frankfurt am Main (Airport/Gateway Gardens).
As a Senior Manager Deployment (f/m/d), you serve as a key member of the KION Business Transformation (BT) Deployment Core Team, providing program-level leadership to drive the successful roll-in of business processes and solutions in line with the overall transformation roadmap.
You define, continuously improve, and govern the rollout strategy and deployment approach for standardized templates, orchestrating multiple deployment waves and ensuring consistent execution across the program.
You lead and steer country- and region-specific roll-ins, ensuring global standards are implemented effectively while aligning and integrating local requirements. You hold end-to-end accountability for critical deployment phases (UAT, cut-over, go-live, hyper-care) and ensure a stable transition into live operations.
A central part of your role is building alignment through close collaboration with country coordinators, senior stakeholders, and local teams. You apply strong IT/program management expertise and intercultural leadership to enable effective decision-making and execution across diverse environments.
You define and drive business readiness activities, including integrated deployment planning, contingency scenarios, and mitigation measures. You proactively manage risks, issues, and deliverables, chair local workstream/status governance, and lead escalations with clear structure and transparency.
You ensure a structured and sustainable handover to the receiving organization after go-live, partnering with the core team and operations to enable a successful hyper-care phase and long-term stability in business-as-usual.
We look forward to receiving your online application! If you have any initial questions, please contact Nicole Kraus (Tel. +49 (0) 69 201107744) .
