Job description

On site presence required so must be able to be in Sheffield x3 a week

An established organisation is embarking on a major ERP transformation programme and is seeking an experienced ERP Change Manager to lead the people side of change across the business.

This is a pivotal role within a high-visibility transformation, ensuring the successful adoption of new processes, systems and ways of working across multiple business functions.

The Opportunity

As ERP Change Manager, you will be responsible for designing and delivering the change strategy that enables successful ERP adoption.

You will:

• Develop and own the end-to-end change management strategy for the ERP programme
• Conduct change impact assessments across business functions
• Partner with business leaders and process owners to prepare teams for transition
• Design stakeholder engagement and communication plans
• Lead readiness assessments and adoption tracking
• Oversee training strategy in collaboration with functional leads
• Identify resistance risks and implement mitigation strategies
• Support leadership in driving behavioural and process change
• Ensure change activities are aligned to programme milestones and releases

This is not purely a communications or training coordination role - it requires strong stakeholder influence and the ability to drive behavioural change at all levels of the organisation.

What We're Looking For

We are seeking an experienced change professional with a strong track record in ERP or enterprise-wide transformation programmes.

You will likely have:

• Delivered change management on at least one full ERP implementation (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, IFS or similar)
• Experience managing change across complex, multi-function environments
• Strong understanding of business process change and operating model impacts
• Experience conducting change impact assessments and stakeholder mapping
• Confidence working with senior leadership teams
• Experience embedding structured change methodologies (e.g. Prosci, ADKAR or similar - beneficial but not essential)

You will understand that ERP change is not just about system adoption - it is about embedding new processes, governance and accountability across the organisation.

The Person

You will be:

• Influential and credible with senior stakeholders
• Pragmatic and solutions-oriented
• Organised and structured in your approach
• Empathetic but resilient when managing resistance
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving transformation environment

What's On Offer

• A key role within a major ERP transformation programme
• The opportunity to shape long-term behavioural and process change across the organisation

If you are an experienced ERP Change Manager seeking a role where you can make a genuine impact on transformation success, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
