SAP - IS-U Data Conversion - Manager - Consulting - Location OPEN

EY helps utilities organizations transform their operations through innovative SAP solutions that improve efficiency, enhance customer experiences, and support regulatory compliance. We work with clients across the utility value chain, helping them navigate complex business and technology transformations from strategy through execution.

We are seeking an SAP IS-U Data Conversion Manager to lead the end-to-end strategy and delivery of the data-conversion workstream for complex utility transformation programs. In this role, you will own migration strategy, governance, delivery, and readiness while coordinating business data owners, SAP functional teams, technical migration teams, and program leadership to deliver complete, reconciled, and supportable data loads. You will drive data quality, mock-conversion cycles, cutover execution, reconciliation, and business sign-off across the broader meter-to-cash landscape.

Your key responsibilities

As a Manager in Technology Analysis, you will lead SAP IS-U data-conversion workstreams within complex utility transformation programs, providing functional and delivery leadership from migration strategy through production cutover and stabilization.

Your responsibilities will include: 

• Owning data-conversion strategy, scope, governance, delivery plans, and readiness for the SAP IS-U program or release.
• Defining conversion waves, object sequencing, ownership, reconciliation controls, acceptance criteria, and decision gates across utility data domains.
• Leading source-system assessments and data-quality planning with business owners, establishing remediation ownership, and resolving migration-readiness gaps.
• Setting the functional and technical approach for mapping, transformation, tooling, staging, loads, and repeatable mock-conversion cycles.
• Coordinating SAP functional leads, source-system teams, ETL developers, data stewards, business owners, and cutover leadership across meter-to-cash workstreams.
• Governing mock loads, defect priorities, conversion metrics, control totals, financial and operational reconciliation, and formal sign-off.
• Owning cutover readiness, load sequencing, contingency planning, production execution coordination, and post-load validation.
• Managing team capacity, risks, scope, estimates, and executive decisions while ensuring knowledge transfer and audit-ready evidence.

Skills and attributes for success

To thrive in this role, you will need a blend of SAP utilities data-conversion expertise, delivery leadership, and stakeholder-management skills. Your ability to establish strong governance, drive decisions, and coordinate business and technology teams will be critical to delivering accurate and supportable data loads.

• Deep understanding of SAP IS-U data structures and utility data dependencies across meter-to-cash processes.
• Strong knowledge of migration strategy, data quality, mapping, transformation, reconciliation, and cutover controls.
• Ability to translate business, operational, and regulatory requirements into practical conversion rules and acceptance criteria.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage dependencies across business, functional, technical, ETL, testing, and cutover workstreams.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, facilitation, planning, and decision-making skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present conversion status, risks, and decisions to both business and technology stakeholders.

To qualify for the role, you must have:

• A bachelor’s degree.
• Typically, no less than 4 - 6 years of SAP IS-U or SAP Utilities experience, including substantial expertise in the relevant functional area and 3+ years leading a workstream or team.
• Proven ownership of functional solution design and delivery through implementation, testing, deployment, and stabilization.
• Experience leading cross-functional teams, managing dependencies and risks, and making decisions with business and technology stakeholders.
• Strong leadership, communication, planning, and stakeholder-management skills.
• Ability to balance business outcomes, solution quality, delivery constraints, and operational readiness.
• Proven ownership of migration strategy, governance, reconciliation, cutover readiness, and business sign-off for a complex SAP program.
• Experience coordinating utility data owners, SAP functional teams, ETL and tooling teams, and program cutover leadership.
• A flexibility and willingness to travel to meet client needs; travel is estimated at 40-60%.

Ideally, you’ll also have:

• Prior consulting experience.
• Experience with SAP IS-U Migration Workbench/EMIGALL and utilities-specific data sequencing.
• Exposure to SAP Data Services/BODS, Syniti, Informatica, SAP Migration Cockpit where appropriate, or comparable migration platforms.
• Experience supporting large-scale utility data-conversion programs across meter-to-cash processes.
