Senior IT Project Manager - Operations (all genders)

tonies is the world’s leading interactive audio platform for children, with over 12 million Tonieboxes and 173 million Tonies sold globally. Our intuitive, screen-free system empowers children to learn and play independently in a safe and engaging way.

With a presence in over 100 countries and a diverse portfolio of ~1,500 Tonies across multiple languages, we continue to redefine how children experience storytelling and learning. Since our IPO in 2021, our global team of 630+ colleagues is united by a shared mission: shaping the future of play, learning, and imagination.

01Your Role & Impact

As we transition from Microsoft Business Central to SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, you will serve as the operational driver and steering authority for our Operations IT landscape (Procure to Pay and Supply Chain / Plan to Produce). Working in a close tandem with our functional Product Owners, you own the "how" and "when" - driving project governance, enforcing milestone accountability, holding implementation partners strictly to delivery standards, and ensuring leadership always has an unequivocal single source of truth on project progress.

02What you'll do

• Project Control & Status Transparency: Own stream roadmaps, critical paths, and risk registers. Maintain a reliable single source of truth so leadership always knows exactly where the project stands.

• SI & Vendor Steering: Actively challenge and manage external implementation partners (consultants / system integrators). Enforce milestone adherence, configuration workbook completeness, and rapid gap resolution.

• Fit-to-Standard & Backlog Governance: Partner with functional POs to manage the backlog in Jira / SAP Cloud ALM. Champion SAP S/4HANA "Fit-to-Standard" out-of-the-box logic against custom build requests.

• Workshop Execution & Delivery: Structure and steer functional configuration, integration, and design workshops across P2P and Supply Chain. Ensure sessions are decision-focused and action items are closed out.

• Beyond SAP Roadmap: Steer the evaluation, integration, and rollout of broader Operations IT tools, including Demand & Supply Planning and eSourcing platforms.

03What You Bring

• Experience: 5+ years of IT Project Management or Functional Stream Lead experience in large-scale ERP implementations (specifically SAP S/4HANA, ideally Public Cloud) within retail, consumer goods, or manufacturing.

• Strong Delivery Mindset: Proven track record of steering external partners, cutting through cross-functional ambiguity, and driving decisions across seniority levels.

• Methodology Owner: Deep hands-on proficiency in Jira, Confluence, and SAP Cloud ALM, with the ability to build transparent milestone and defect tracking frameworks.

• Supply Chain Understanding: Solid grasp of operational supply chain flows (Procurement, Inventory, Subcontracting/Kitting, Logistics, and 3PL interfaces).

• Languages: Full professional fluency in English is required (our corporate language); German language skills are a plus, but entirely optional.

04Why Join Us?

• Global teamwork: We work together across departmental and national borders on our vision of bringing the Toniebox to every child's room in the world.

• Come as you are: This applies not only to the dress code, but to everything else as well. Because you can only give your best when you feel truly comfortable.

• Mobility: Choose the offer that best suits you, a Germany ticket for unlimited mobility, a monthly payment of fifty euros for an office parking space, a leased bicycle or a remote work allowance.

• Protection: Benefit from subsidies for employee savings plans, company pension schemes and disability insurance.

• Relaxation & Time Out: Enjoy 30 days of paid annual leave plus three additional days off, such as Carnival Monday, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve. After one year of employment, you can also take up to 10 "toniecation days" (unpaid leave).

• Continuous professional development: Benefit from our internal and external training opportunities as well as an individual learning budget to continuously expand your knowledge.

• Language learning and relaxation made easy: Improve your communication skills with the Babbel language learning app and find relaxation through our access to the Calm meditation app.

• Discounts: Benefit from attractive discounts on our entire tonies range.

As part of our principles, we are committed to supporting inclusion and diversity at tonies. We actively celebrate our colleagues’ different abilities, ethnicities, faith and gender. Everyone is welcome and supported in their development at all stages in their journey with us.

We look forward to hearing from you!
