Information Technology Program Manager

We are looking for a hands‑on, detail‑oriented and experienced IT Programme/Project Manager to lead the IT side of a major organisational transformation. One of our brands is moving between two companies, and every part of IT moves with it: separation, access control, new infrastructure and the transfer of key applications across ERP, Data/BI, POS and Infrastructure, spanning different companies and market teams.

As our IT Programme Manager, you will turn that complexity into one clear, integrated plan and steer it to Day 1 readiness and Transition Services Agreement (TSA) exit. You will own integrated planning, coordination, tracking and escalation: managing budget, communication and stakeholders, following actions through to closure, escalating risks early, and helping teams collaborate across entities, functions and domains. Workstream leads deliver the technical work, and business and governance owners provide approvals and sign-offs, so you can stay focused on keeping everyone aligned and moving.

If you thrive on bringing order to complexity and seeing a high‑stakes programme through to the finish, this is your opportunity to make a visible impact.

Responsibilities and essential job functions include but are not limited to the following:

• Programme planning: Maintain an integrated plan covering deliverables, milestones and critical activities for Day 1 readiness and TSA exit.
• Coordination and follow‑up: Clarify responsibilities, assign action owners and deadlines, and follow through to closure across companies and markets.
• Risks, issues and decisions: Track risks and pending decisions, drive blocker resolution with workstream leads, and escalating unresolved matters.
• Dependencies: Track shared technical and operational dependencies and coordinate resolution across workstreams.
• Scope, timeline and budget: Monitor deviations and escalation impact, recovery actions and support needs to management for timely decisions.
• Transition readiness: Track testing, cutover, contingency plans, hypercare, decommissioning and TSA exit readiness, including required sign‑offs.
• Governance and reporting: Provide consolidated progress updates, highlight decisions and support required, and follow up against agreed response dates.
• Workstream coverage: Coordinate agreed activities across the areas below.
• ERP: OneERP tenant migration and HK/MO ERP implementation.
• Data/BI: Data platform transition, data migration and handover, and reporting continuity.
• POS: POS transition and related dependencies.
• Infrastructure: Tenant and environment readiness, network, identity and access, and security.
• Other systems: Coordinate tasks and actions required on other systems from Marketing, HR and Finance, to a lesser extent.
• Knowledge transfer: Documentation, support arrangements and handover acceptance.

Maintain an updated integrated plan and tracking logs; provide daily/weekly consolidated status report; record owners and due dates for agreed actions; and promptly escalating critical blockers through the agreed governance process.

The Programme Manager owns integrated planning, coordination, tracking and escalation. Workstream leads own technical delivery, while designated business and governance owners provide approvals and sign‑offs.

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

• Must-have: Project management experience and skills (planning, communication, reporting and functional management) on medium‑to‑large projects, an IT background in either infrastructure or applications, and multi‑market exposure.
• Proven experience coordinating multi‑workstream IT programmes, such as ERP, data/BI, POS or infrastructure.
• Strong stakeholder management across companies and technical teams, with the ability to escalate effectively and work independently.
• Familiarity with cutover, hypercare, TSA exit or carve‑out/separation programmes.
• Merger and acquisition or joint venture experience will be an advantage.
