As TCS France accelerates new programs across IT Infrastructure, Cloud, Application Support and SAP, the Transition Manager is accountable for end-to-end service transition from current state to steady state operations. The role ensures a controlled, risk-managed handover of services (people, process, technology, governance and tooling) while protecting business continuity, service levels and customer experience.
1. Purpose & Scope
· Lead transitions for new logos, renewals, vendor takeovers, carve-ins/carve-outs, and major transformations impacting Run services.
· Cover service lines including IT Infrastructure (EUC, Network, Data Center, Workplace), Cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP, landing zones, migrations), Application Support (L2/L3, DevOps-enabled support), and SAP (AMS, S/4HANA programs, integrations).
· Own transition governance, planning and execution across onsite/offshore teams and partner ecosystems, ensuring readiness for steady-state operations.
· Ensure compliance with contractual obligations, security and regulatory requirements (e.g., data protection, audit controls), and TCS delivery standards.

6. Service Acceptance & Stabilization: Obtain formal sign-offs, baseline KPIs, confirm SLA achievement, and transition into BAU governance with continuous improvement backlog.
2.2 Governance, Reporting & Stakeholder Management
