They need an experienced people manager who can run their ERP consultancy team, giving them direction, and mentoring, coaching and managing them, and keeping them happy.

Some experience and knowledge of ERP type software solutions is essential (manufacturing and/or distribution useful), you are familiar with structured implementation methods such as Microsoft SureStep, and you have managed a team of people as a Consulting Manager, Delivery Manager, Head of Projects, or Senior Project Manager. Aside from mentoring and managing, you are great at inspiring, leading and motivating a team, you are there for them to talk to and you are skilled at developing their talents and avoiding staff churn.
