Andrej U.

Last position:

Technical Project & Rollout Manager / IT Service Manager at Klinikum

  • Stabilized the cross-site workplace/printer rollout and transferred it into reliable operational processes. Ongoing hospital operations, new naming conventions, new print servers in a different AD structure, Kerberos dependencies, management systems and inconsistent inventory data.
  • Took over technical workstreams and escalated risks at an early stage. Interface between IT operations, project organization, internal employees and external service providers; independently responsible for critical technical workstreams without formal overall project management.
  • Fully consolidated the central master/rollout data. Correlated serial number, MAC, IP, location and old/new device references from several sources and established them as a shared working basis for rollout, follow-up work, location and toner processes.
  • Technically stabilized the printer rollout. 717 devices in the consolidated rollout scope, including 431 replacement devices; 114 documented deviations. Controlled, created or validated around 2,000 printer/queue objects.
  • Proposed Location B as an independent work package and managed it technically. Consolidated 216 old devices into 88 new devices; implemented this in around 10 working days with 1-2 external technicians. Prepared ClearPass, TXT/mapping and ORBIS offset topics in parallel.
  • Made several thousand existing TXT/VBS client assignments suitable for bulk migration. Defined old/new mapping, new print servers, Follow-Me, queue, suffix and tray logic; developed checking/correction logic for incorrect manual names.
  • Built and productively verified cross-domain FollowMe. Used the historical username attribute to map between the old and new AD domains; stopped further expansion when data quality was no longer reliable.
  • Developed the technical approach for hardware/queue reconciliation. Correlated standard lists, print server objects and real devices using IP/SNMP; defined rules for MAC, serial number, IP, location, toner, trays, keep/remove/rename, duplicates and rollback.
  • Built AI-assisted automation under time pressure. Developed and stabilized PowerShell/XML tools with independently developed process, data and validation logic, test cases, logging, DryRun/guardrail approaches, error analysis and live validation.
  • Designed an HTTP/web platform as a target architecture that was not introduced into production. Technically designed ASP.NET Core 8, .NET Worker, SQLite and PowerShell 5.1 for job control, target/actual comparison, logging/audit, recovery, queueing and locking.
  • Operationalized toner, location and operational processes. Consolidated TA-Cockpit location data; established toner/order logic with prioritized run lists; supported Follow-Me, duplex and Scan2Mail pilots.
  • Worked out the KRITIS/emergency topic in detail. Structured and visualized printer operations during power/infrastructure failures, coordinated internally and supported the integration into the emergency concept.
  • Coordinated the workplace/IGEL client rollout with 1.200+ thin clients from a technical and operational perspective. Prepared the project from 11/2025 and continued it from mid-09/2026. Technically reviewed and structured the process from unpacking and labeling/inventory to setup; handed over operational unpacking/label coordination to a colleague so several employees could work in parallel.
  • Personally prepared around 120 thin clients for production. Together with a technical colleague, primarily responsible for finding a solution for automated IGEL-OS-12 installation; productive automation is currently still open.
  • Saved around 83 hours of manual ClearPass data entry. Created a PowerShell/import script for ClearPass and demonstrably saved the network colleague around 83 hours of manual entry for 1.200 thin clients; at the same time, significantly reduced the risk of manual errors.
  • Supplied formal project management with technical results. Operational results, technical feasibility, process structure and status from the responsible workstreams serve as an important basis for steering by the official project manager.
  • Documentation & handover. Documented rollout, AQrate, TA-Cockpit and automation processes, conducted training and tested, configured and prepared around 25 digital medical carts for operation.

About the role

Rollout work

A rollout manager turns one working template into a controlled launch across plants, offices, stores, or countries. The job covers planning, cutover, training, local coordination, go-live support, and the handover into steady operations.

  • Build the rollout plan and wave structure
  • Coordinate business, IT, and local site leads
  • Manage cutover tasks, dependencies, and go-live readiness
  • Track issues during hypercare and drive closure
  • Align documentation, training, and adoption materials

Where they add value

Companies bring in a rollout manager when many teams must move at once and no one can lose the overview. This often happens in SAP rollouts, ERP harmonization, POS deployments, security tool launches, or new operating models across several locations.

In Germany, these projects often involve headquarters teams, regional plants, and local site managers who need clear coordination and direct communication. A freelance rollout lead is useful when the internal team is busy with delivery, or when the project needs extra structure for a time-limited phase.

Core skills

Strong rollout managers are organised, calm under pressure, and precise with status tracking. They understand how to turn a complex implementation into simple steps for each site.

  • Cutover and go-live planning
  • Stakeholder management across functions
  • Risk, issue, and dependency management
  • Training and change coordination
  • Clear reporting and escalation handling
  • Familiarity with tools such as Jira, MS Project, Excel, and SAP project environments

Specialisations

The best-fit profile depends on the project. Some rollout managers focus on ERP and SAP deployments, others on workplace IT, retail systems, manufacturing software, or international country rollouts.

Searchers may also use titles like rollout lead, implementation manager, or deployment manager. While the wording differs, the need is usually the same: one person who keeps the launch plan moving and makes sure each site is ready before go-live.

What strong pros deliver

A good rollout manager does more than coordinate dates. They make risks visible early, keep local teams aligned, and ensure that decisions are recorded and followed through.

  • A realistic rollout schedule with clear milestones
  • Readiness checks before each go-live
  • A clean issue log with owners and next steps
  • Local communication that people actually use
  • Stable transition from project mode to business as usual

Working model

This role is often brought in on a freelance basis when the assignment has a clear start, a fixed launch date, or a defined set of sites. That makes it a strong fit for short, intense phases where experience matters more than long onboarding.

Remote work is common for planning, reporting, and coordination. On-site presence helps during workshops, pilot launches, and critical cutover windows, especially when teams in Germany need direct alignment with operations, logistics, or production.

Frequently asked questions

Not sure where to start with Rollout Managers? These answers cover the essentials.

A Rollout Manager plans and coordinates the move from a tested solution to live use across one or many sites. The work usually covers rollout sequencing, cutover tasks, readiness checks, stakeholder communication, and hypercare after go-live. In practice, the person keeps all moving parts aligned so the launch does not stall at the local level.

A freelance Rollout Manager makes sense when the need is tied to a launch, a migration, or a limited transformation phase. Companies use freelancers when they need immediate structure, specific rollout experience, or extra capacity without adding a long-term headcount. It is especially useful when internal project teams are already stretched.

A strong rollout manager needs clear project control, firm communication, and good judgment under pressure. They should handle dependencies, issues, training coordination, and stakeholder alignment without losing sight of the go-live plan. Experience with structured delivery tools and complex business change is important, too.

The titles are often used for similar work, but the emphasis can differ. An implementation manager may focus more on setting up the solution, while a deployment manager often points to technical release or site deployment work. A rollout manager sits between business, IT, and local teams and makes sure the launch works in practice.

This role fits SAP and ERP rollouts, workplace software launches, retail system rollouts, and multi-site operating model changes. It also fits projects where one central template must be adapted for local teams in different locations. The best projects are those with many dependencies and a clear need for launch coordination.

Not always, but on-site time can be important during workshops, pilot launches, and cutover periods. In Germany, many clients expect a mix of remote coordination and local presence when plant, office, or store teams need direct support. A good Rollout Manager adapts to both and stays effective in either setup.

Look for clear examples of launches they have run, the complexity they handled, and how they managed issues when plans changed. A good rollout lead can explain the rollout logic, show how they handled readiness checks, and describe how they kept stakeholders aligned. References, structured status reporting, and practical planning examples are strong signals.

Freelancers should be ready to discuss rollout scope, site structure, governance, and the tools they use for planning and tracking. A clear view of cutover, training, communication, and post-go-live support helps clients see whether the deployment manager is the right fit. It also helps to be specific about where you work best: central planning, local coordination, or both.

The average hourly rate for Rollout Managers in Germany is 112 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 893 € based on an 8-hour working day.
