Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced, hands-on ERP Project Manager to lead a significant upgrade of a legacy system.
The platform supports a range of core business and finance processes and includes bespoke functionality. The project will involve upgrading the existing environment and supporting its migration to a modern cloud-based platform.
Working on the client side, you will take end-to-end ownership of the project and coordinate delivery across business teams, internal technology stakeholders and an appointed implementation partner.
Key Responsibilities
- Scope, plan and deliver the ERP upgrade and cloud migration.
- Establish effective project governance, controls, reporting and risk management.
- Own the integrated project plan, including milestones, dependencies, actions and priorities.
- Coordinate business and finance stakeholders throughout the upgrade and transition.
- Manage the relationship with the third-party implementation partner, driving delivery against the agreed plan.
- Work with internal technology teams to coordinate infrastructure, network, integration and data-flow changes.
- Manage project scope and priorities throughout the delivery lifecycle.
- Lead stakeholder engagement across business and technology functions.
- Support business readiness, change management, testing, cutover and transition.
- Identify and plan any follow-on improvement activity outside the immediate upgrade scope.
