You’ll join a friendly, collaborative culture with long-serving employees and an open working environment

The Role

You will oversee all aspects of the project lifecycle from planning and design to deployment and post-implementation support, ensuring the solution meets business requirements while minimising disruption.

You Will

• Lead the end-to end JD Edwards ERP project lifecycle, ensuring milestones, deliverables, and resource requirements are clearly defined and met.
• Collaborate with stakeholders globally, translating business requirements into actionable project plans and delivering a solution that supports international operations.
• Manage project scope, risks, and budgets while ensuring alignment with organisational objectives.
• Coordinate cross functional teams, including IT, finance, supply chain, and external JD Edwards consultants.
• Facilitate process optimisation and change management initiatives to ensure smooth adoption of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.
• Maintain project documentation, reporting progress and KPIs to executive leadership.
• Support the organisation in leveraging JD Edwards’ capabilities to drive business transformation and long-term value.

Who We’re Looking For

• Proven ability to manage multiple stakeholders with competing priorities across international teams.
• Solid understanding of business processes across finance, supply chain, and operations.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
• Familiarity with change management principles and project management methodologies (Agile or Waterfall).
• Relevant certifications (PMP or equivalent) are highly desirable.

Why This Role Is Exciting

• Take ownership of a greenfield ERP project from the very early stages, shaping the system and processes from the ground up.
• Lead an end-to-end implementation of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, from planning and design through to go live and post-implementation optimisation.
• Make a tangible impact for a household name you will have heard of, with global reach and a strong presence across multiple markets.
• Play a pivotal role in modernising business operations and driving long term growth and efficiency across the organisation.

The Offer

The role will initially be offered as a 2-year fixed term contract; however, a permanent role is likely. They can offer between £60k to £80k with some great benefits, hybrid working (typically three days a week), flexible core hours and parking onsite.
