ERP Project Manager - Finance & Manufacturing, Defence

Key role for an ERP Software Project Manager with an award winning and innovative FTSE 250 design, manufacturing and supply company who are at the start of a major MS Dynamics 365 F&O project roll out across their group companies. It will begin with this first 400 strong business in Salisbury who have a £60 million turnover. This division manufactures high technology products for the defence, aerospace, and high security markets. They need a strong ERP Project Manager, who is level headed and has presence and kudos, and is happy working in the Amesbury / Salisbury area most days. Salary to £80,000 to start.

The job is to be the internal ERP Project Manager for the group on a permanent basis, initially on this first 18-month D365 ERP project, then working on their subsequent ERP roll out projects throughout the UK. Clients are primarily MOD and the armed forces of NATO countries, helping to make the world a safer place.

What they need from you:

• A strong ERP project management background is vital
• You are a skilled Project Manager on ERP software implementation projects
• Your background includes dealing with or working for a large ERP consultancy firm
• You have led an ERP implementation project into a manufacturing company
• Strong business analysis and business process understanding
• Your background is such that you can get security clearance without issue
• Well rounded, with a holistic approach and happy to fight your corner
• You have the right to work and live in the UK

The distribution part of the business is outsourced to a specialist freight forwarding company, so this is working with finance and manufacturing which is generally made to order.

You will have the ability to push the user base and all the internal departments to get the best outcome from the new ERP software, and to seriously talk about their business processes and what can be changed. You will need to ensure that the reporting is properly thought through as the project progresses, and that tools like PowerBI and SSRS are used effectively to deliver strong valuable reporting early in the Go Live.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a significant FTSE 250 company at the start of a very large ERP project roll out, playing a pivotal role and having the MD as the key sponsor and the Group FD as a key player on the project. The projected go live date is November 2023. After that you will move on to the next group company, for the second roll out.

This is a fabulous chance to settle into a major company and get solid MS Dynamics D365 and F&O experience.
