The role leads ERP deployments and migrations from discovery through stabilization, owns configuration and data standards, and turns each implementation into a repeatable template for future rollouts and acquisitions.\nThis is a hands-on leadership role. The Manager directs a team of ERP Business Systems Analysts, manages implementation and integration partners against signed SOWs, partners with Finance and Operations leaders on process standardization, and drives each project through the CBX gate-review methodology—discovery, design, configure/build, SIT, UAT, cutover, and hypercare. After go-live, the role owns ERP platforms as production business systems: support, release management, enhancements, and continuous improvement.The ideal candidate combines ERP implementation leadership, working accounting knowledge, vendor and contract discipline, and the judgment to balance enterprise standards with justified business-unit needs.\nResponsibilities\nERP Program Delivery & Governance\nOwn internal delivery of assigned ERP implementations, upgrades, and migrations in partnership with the IT Program Manager; maintain integrated plans, resource loading, RAID logs, and decision logs.\nRun gate reviews (requirements, build complete, SIT complete, UAT/training complete, go-live) and prepare go/no-go recommendations for the CIO and business sponsors.\nReport status, risks, budget, and benefits to the ERP Steering Committee and Technology Steering Committee; escalate dependencies early.\nBuild and maintain a reusable ERP deployment playbook—templates, checklists, cutover runbooks, and lessons learned—so each wave is faster and lower-risk than the last.\nStandards, Configuration & Process Ownership\nDefine and govern “gold standard” ERP templates: entity/branch structure, chart of accounts mapping and financial dimensions, security roles, naming conventions, master data rules, and standard configuration.\nPartner with business process owners to standardize core processes (Quote/Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, Project/Job Costing, Inventory, Record-to-Report) and maintain SOPs aligned to the L1–L3 process hierarchy.\nRun a controlled exception process: approve, document, or reject deviations from the standard; protect against unnecessary customization\nPartner with Infrastructure and Security on hosting, environments (prod/test/training), SSO/MFA, backup, and disaster recovery.\nVendor, SOW & Budget Management\nServe as day-to-day owner of ERP implementation and integration partner relationships; manage delivery against SOW scope, hours, milestones, and deliverable acceptance criteria.\nTrack consultant hours and spend against budget; enforce written, pre-approved change orders for any scope or fee change.\nSupport the CIO in software selection, SOW, order-form, and renewal reviews; validate milestones before invoice approval.\nManage vendor support cases and escalations through resolution.\nIntegrations, Data & Reporting\nOwn functional requirements and testing for ERP integrations with CRM, quoting/CPQ, estimating, field service, AP automation, banking, payroll, and the enterprise finance platform (e.g., Business Central consolidation).\nDefine interface monitoring, retry/recovery, and reconciliation standards with integration owners.\nLead data conversion: source-system inventory, cleansing, mapping, mock conversion cycles, validation, and sign-off by data owners.\nEnsure ERP data supports consolidated financial and operational reporting in Power BI and the enterprise data platform.\nTesting, Cutover & Stabilization\nOwn test strategy for each deployment: unit, SIT, and UAT scripts covering end-to-end business flows.\nEnforce SIT/UAT entry and exit criteria; manage defect triage and severity through closure.\nLead cutover planning: mock cutovers, transaction freeze, opening balances, go/no-go criteria, and hypercare through first month-end close.\nPartner with Finance to reconcile cutover balances (open AR/AP, inventory, open jobs/projects, subledger-to-GL).\nChange, Training & Adoption\nPartner with Change Management and CBX University on role-based training, proficiency validation, super-user networks, and manager enablement.\nEnsure training is built on approved, stable workflows and that adoption and data quality are measured after go-live.\nTeam Leadership & Run Support\nHire, lead, coach, and assign work to ERP Business Systems Analysts; build internal ERP expertise to reduce reliance on consultants and single-person dependencies.\nOwn the post-go-live support model: tiered support, ticket SLAs, release/version management, user access reviews, and segregation of duties.\nManage the ERP enhancement backlog and prioritize with business owners based on value, risk, and effort.\nKey Success Measures (First 12 Months)\nStandards: ERP template (master data rules, SOPs, configuration baseline) signed off and reused on every deployment.\nDelivery: Gate reviews met on schedule; assigned go-lives delivered on plan.\nQuality: SIT/UAT exit criteria met; no Severity 1 defects open at go/no-go.\nFinancial accuracy: Cutover balances (AR, AP, inventory, GL) reconciled and signed off by Finance.\nVendor & budget: Vendor hours tracked against SOW;
