- Engage senior leadership and stakeholders as active contributors to the project team, facilitating direct and productive executive communication
- Identify and resolve complex ERP finance‑domain issues such as general ledger discrepancies and integration challenges across a large, distributed site environment
Minimum Requirements
- 10 years of hands‑on project management experience with direct, personal ownership of project plans and schedules
- 5 years of ERP experience with demonstrated depth in finance modules, including general ledger and related financial systems
- Experience managing custom ERP development environments, not limited to off‑the‑shelf package implementations
- Experience working in large, multi‑site environments of comparable scale (approximately 25 sites or more)
- Proven stakeholder management experience including direct engagement with executive‑level leadership
Preferred Qualifications
- ERP experience within manufacturing environments
- Demonstrated track record of joining and stabilizing active projects mid‑stream
- Experience creating new collaboration models for distributed or siloed project teams
- Ability to provide specific, example‑driven accounts of problem‑solving in ERP finance and project delivery contexts
