A growing organization is expanding its IT leadership team and hiring two (2) senior-level IT Applications Managers to help drive a make-or-break ERP transformation. This hybrid, permanent role offers up to $185k plus bonus based on experience and comprehensive benefits. This role is for someone who has personally owned ERP implementations end-to-end—from the moment work enters the system through downstream accounting/reporting outputs—acting as a true “right hand” to a key internal leader and bringing a high level of project ownership and accountability.
The initial focus is a major ERP implementation, with multiple additional enterprise initiatives expected to follow; this hire also supports longer-term succession planning as the team evolves.
What You’ll Do
- Own ERP implementation programs from discovery through deployment and stabilization:
- Document “as-is” processes and workflows end-to-end
- Partner with the business to design “to-be” processes
- Support ERP evaluation/selection (including options that may sit on/around Microsoft Dynamics)
- Lead implementation execution, governance, and cross-functional coordination
- Drive change adoption and stakeholder alignment (not just task tracking)
- Coordinate critical phases requiring presence (deployments, key milestones, UAT)
- Serve as the applications leader for a key business area—future application changes/updates flow through this role.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with business leaders and executive sponsors; communicate risks, tradeoffs, costs, and options clearly.
- Ensure application lifecycle discipline across strategize, architect, select, deploy, operate, evolve, and retire, with attention to reliability, access, and security.
- Identify when third-party support is needed and help oversee vendor selection and engagement.
What Success Looks Like (and What You Must Bring)
- You have owned major ERP implementations—not just supported a PMO, facilitated standups, or played a Scrum Master-only role.
- You can speak credibly about the realities of implementation pressure points (scope decisions, process conflict, adoption resistance, data, cutover, controls, downstream reporting impacts) because you’ve been accountable for outcomes.
- You operate as a business-facing implementation leader: you can lead process conversations, gain alignment, drive decisions, and keep delivery moving.
- You’re comfortable stepping into an IT leadership seat—partnering with executives, carrying influence, and managing competing priorities across multiple concurrent initiatives.
- Strong track record leading large, cross-functional programs with full project teams, clear governance, and measurable delivery.
Preferred / Nice-to-Haves
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) experience (strong plus)
- ERP experience in manufacturing and/or operational environments
- Background in process improvement approaches (Lean, Six Sigma) is helpful, especially for documentation and optimization phases
Benefits Include:
- Up to 15 days PTO to start
- Medical, Dental, Vision included
- 401(k): 3.5% match, fully vested immediately
- and more!
