ERP Project Manager – ERP Implementations & Delivery
Location: Hybrid
Employment Type: Permanent, Full-Time
The Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced ERP Project Manager to take ownership of complex ERP implementations, upgrades, and improvement programmes.
This is a hands-on delivery role for someone who understands the full ERP project lifecycle and is comfortable managing customers, consultants, technical teams, budgets, resources, and project governance.
Experience with Epicor Kinetic would be advantageous, but it is not essential. We are equally interested in Project Managers who have successfully delivered projects involving comparable ERP platforms such as:
- JD Edwards (JDE)
- Microsoft Dynamics
- NetSuite
- Oracle
- SAP Business One (SAP B1)
- Epicor
- or similar ERP solutions
The key requirement is a strong understanding of ERP implementation and the ability to successfully take projects from initial planning through to go-live.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll take ownership of ERP projects throughout the full delivery lifecycle, ensuring scope, resources, budgets, timelines, and customer expectations remain aligned.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Managing ERP implementations, upgrades, and optimisation projects from initiation through to go-live.
- Developing detailed project plans covering scope, resources, milestones, dependencies, and deliverables.
- Coordinating functional consultants, technical teams, data specialists, and customer stakeholders.
- Managing multiple ERP projects and competing priorities.
- Monitoring budgets, forecasts, billable activity, and overall project commercial performance.
- Identifying delivery risks, resource constraints, and potential delays early and putting corrective actions in place.
- Managing project risks, issues, actions, and dependencies.
- Leading customer project meetings and providing clear, concise project updates.
- Managing project scope and ensuring changes are assessed, documented, costed, and agreed.
- Coordinating configuration, development, integrations, data migration, testing, and training workstreams.
- Managing User Acceptance Testing (UAT), defect resolution, and customer sign-off.
- Planning go-live, cutover, and post-implementation activity.
- Maintaining accurate project documentation and governance.
- Managing customer expectations and confidently handling difficult conversations where required.
- Supporting resource and capacity planning across upcoming projects.
- Ensuring projects are formally closed and successfully transitioned into support or business-as-usual.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
You'll ideally have 5+ years' Project Management experience, with significant experience delivering ERP or enterprise business-system projects. You should be able to demonstrate:
- End-to-end delivery of ERP implementations and/or major upgrade programmes.
- Experience with Epicor, JD Edwards, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Oracle, SAP Business One, or another comparable ERP platform.
- Strong project planning and resource-management skills.
- Experience managing project budgets, forecasts, and commercial performance.
- Excellent customer and stakeholder management.
- Strong understanding of project governance and change control.
- Experience managing project risks, issues, and dependencies.
- Understanding of ERP implementation workstreams including configuration, development, data migration, integrations, testing, and training.
- Experience coordinating UAT and go-live activities.
- The confidence to challenge customers and internal stakeholders when required.
- Strong organisation, communication, and problem-solving skills.
- The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
ERP Background
We are deliberately keeping the ERP requirement broad.
You do not need to be an Epicor specialist to be considered.
Candidates could have delivered projects involving:
- Epicor Kinetic / Epicor ERP
- JD Edwards (JDE)
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Dynamics AX / Business Central
- Oracle ERP
- NetSuite
- SAP Business One (SAP B1)
- Infor or similar manufacturing/distribution ERP platforms
Experience within manufacturing, distribution, supply chain, or finance-led ERP environments would be particularly relevant.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Additional Experience That Would Be Valuable
Exposure to any of the following would also be beneficial:
- Multi-site or multi-company ERP implementations
- Cloud and on-premise ERP solutions
- Data migration and systems integration
- Professional Services or ERP partner environments
- Microsoft Project or similar planning tools
- PSA and resource-planning platforms
- Agile and Waterfall delivery methodologies
- Project recovery or complex programme remediation
- PRINCE2, PMP, APM, or similar Project Management qualifications
Why Consider This Opportunity?
This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of ERP delivery rather than simply maintaining project plans and reporting against milestones.
You'll lead customers through complex implementations, bring together technical and functional resources, and ensure projects remain commercially and operationally controlled.
You'll also have the opportunity to influence how projects are managed, helping strengthen governance, planning, resource management, and overall delivery standards.
For an experienced ERP Project Manager who enjoys combining delivery, customer leadership, commercial management, and problem solving, this is an opportunity to take on a highly influential role.
Who Could Be a Good Fit?
Your current title might be:
- ERP Project Manager
- Senior ERP Project Manager
- ERP Implementation Manager
- Professional Services Project Manager
- Delivery Manager
- ERP Programme Manager
You may also have developed your career within ERP consulting before moving into Project Management and broader customer-delivery responsibility.
What matters most is your ability to demonstrate a strong track record of successfully delivering ERP projects from initiation through to go-live.
Interested?
If you're an experienced ERP Project Manager with a background in Epicor, JDE, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Oracle, SAP Business One, or another comparable ERP solution, we'd be interested in speaking with you.
