Cutover Manager
ERP Cutover & Deployment Manager
About the Role
Our client is entering the final phase of a major ERP transformation and is seeking an experienced ERP Cutover & Deployment Manager to oversee the transition to a new cloud-based IFS platform. With go-live scheduled within the next three months, this critical delivery role requires planning, executing business cutover, managing migration from legacy systems, and leading post-go-live hypercare.
Working closely with the CFO, senior business leaders, IT teams, and implementation partners, the role ensures a smooth transition with minimal disruption to daily operations. Successfully handing over to the BAU technology team afterward is essential. This is an opportunity for a seasoned professional, who thrives at the intersection of technology, business change, and operational readiness.
Responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end business cutover strategy, planning, and execution for the IFS ERP deployment
- Manage the transition from legacy platforms to the new cloud-based ERP, ensuring business continuity throughout the process
- Define, track, and report on cutover readiness, deployment milestones, and go-live criteria
- Coordinate business, IT, and third-party implementation teams to deliver a successful deployment
- Develop and execute business transition and operational readiness plans across Finance, Procurement, and Facilities/Field Service operations
- Oversee post-go-live hypercare, ensuring issues are prioritised, managed, and resolved effectively
- Work closely with the CFO, providing guidance and best practices on deployment and cutover activities
- Coordinate business readiness assessments, data validation, and operational transition activities
- Produce and maintain cutover plans, governance documentation, templates, and reporting
- Ensure a structured handover to the ongoing technology workstream following successful deployment
