Job Description:

As bp transitions to an integrated energy company, we must adapt to a changing world and maintain competitive performance. bp’s customers & products (C&P) business area is setting up a business and technology centre (BTC) in Pune, India. This will support the delivery of an enhanced customer experience and drive innovation by building global capabilities at scale, using technology, and developing deep expertise. The BTC will be a core and connected part of our business, bringing together colleagues who report into their respective part of C&P, working together with other functions across bp. This is an exciting time to join bp and the customers & products BTC!!

Role Overview :

Are you ready to bridge the gap between business and technology in one of bp’s most ambitious SAP transformation programmes?

As the Data Interface Manager – SAP, you will act as the key liaison between the global SAP programme and the Central Data Office. You’ll be responsible for translating business data governance strategy into actionable design and delivery across SAP S/4 HANA.

This is a pivotal role that will shape the data governance blueprint for the SAP programme, ensuring data is structured, governed and aligned with bp’s enterprise standards. You’ll work closely with business data owners, stewards and technical teams to embed governance into the programme lifecycle — from design through to deployment.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the creation and implementation of the data governance blueprint across the SAP programme, aligned with the Central Data Office’s strategy and standards.

• Act as the primary interface between the SAP programme and the Central Data Office, ensuring business data requirements are embedded in programme design and delivery.

• Translate governance principles into SAP-specific data models, conversion logic and integration requirements.

• Represent the data needs of the business domain in SAP programme forums and decision-making bodies.

• Collaborate with business stakeholders to identify data owners, stewards and custodians, and ensure their roles are reflected in programme governance.

• Define and oversee data quality KPIs, data privacy requirements (in collaboration with the Central Data Privacy Office), and usage policies within the SAP landscape.

• Provide governance oversight for SAP data architecture, including metadata, lineage, and master data structures.

• Support the delivery of clean, trusted data through collaboration with Technology ERP teams and data migration workstreams.

Job requirements & qualifications:

• You will have 12–15 years of professional data experience, with a strong foundation in data governance, data management or enterprise data strategy. While we value deep expertise, we recognise some of the tools and platforms we use — such as Alation, Anomalo & Datasphere are relatively new. Therefore, we’re looking for candidates who bring broad experience and adaptability, rather than expecting long tenure with any specific tool.

• Strong experience delivering data governance in large-scale SAP programmes, including SAP ECC and S/4 HANA.

• Familiarity with SAP Datasphere is an advantage.

• Proven ability to translate business data strategy into technical design and programme delivery.

• Deep understanding of data governance frameworks, including data ownership, stewardship, metadata, and quality management.

• Experience working with cross-functional teams including business, IT and programme delivery.

• Solid understanding of programme management principles, with experience contributing to or leading workstreams in large transformation programmes.

• Experience working in agile or hybrid delivery environments, with the ability to adapt governance practices to iterative development cycles.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence at all levels.

You will work with:

• Business Central Data Offices to align programme delivery with enterprise data governance strategy.

• Business leadership teams to capture and represent data requirements across domains.

• SAP programme teams, including global process owners, solution architects, data migration leads, and functional consultants.

• Technology ERP teams to ensure data mapping, conversion and validation align with governance standards.

• Data owners, stewards and custodians to embed governance roles and responsibilities into the programme.

• Governance forums and working groups shaping bp’s enterprise-wide data strategy.
