Working directly with leaders across engineering, supply chain, and finance, you will drive process improvement, eliminate manual workarounds, and ensure Epicor becomes a fully utilized operating system for the business.

The Position

This role owns all Epicor-related priorities, decisions, and outcomes. You will lead the transition from a partially utilized system to a fully integrated platform supporting sales, planning, production, accounting, and reporting. This includes ownership of process alignment, data integrity standards, system capabilities, and user adoption.

This role defines what gets done and why partnering with system and operations resources to execute configuration, support, and day-to-day activities. Success requires strong business judgment, clear prioritization, and the ability to drive measurable results.

What You Bring

• We are looking for a builder and problem-solver, not a passive system administrator.
• Strong ownership mindset, you take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks
• Proven ability to fix or scale ERP systems in manufacturing environments
• Ability to simplify complex problems into scalable, system-driven solutions
• Proactive and self-directed, you identify opportunities and act

• Willing to challenge the status quo and push for better solutions

• Purchasing & Supply Chain (procurement workflows, supplier coordination)
