ERP Programme Manager

Local Government Enterprise Transformation £Multi-Year Programme

A Council is embarking on one of its most significant digital transformation programmes: the delivery of a single, enterprise-wide ERP platform spanning Finance, HR, Payroll and Procurement.

This role offers a rare opportunity to lead a flagship public sector ERP programme end to end, shaping how a major local authority operates for the next decade.

Panoramic Associates are seeking an exceptional ERP Programme Manager with a proven track record of delivering complex, multi supplier ERP programmes at scale.

Overview

End to end leadership of a large, high impact ERP programme, from procurement through implementation, go live and benefits realisation.

Full accountability for delivery, governance, risk and supplier performance.

Influence at the highest levels, working closely with Executive Sponsors, Programme Board, senior officers and delivery partners.

A long term contract aligned to a multi year roadmap, offering continuity, challenge, and tangible legacy.

This is not a recovery or BAU role. It is a greenfield style transformation, where strategic judgement and delivery discipline are equally critical.

What you'll need to demonstrate

• Senior ERP delivery leadership experience (Programme Manager / Programme Director)
• Proven success delivering large scale ERP implementations, ideally within local government or complex public sector environments
• Deep understanding of Finance, HR, Payroll and Procurement operating models
• Strong governance mindset, balanced with pragmatism and pace
• Experience leading multi supplier ecosystems (ERP vendor, SI, implementation partner)
• Credibility at Board level with the ability to translate strategy into executable delivery

Why This Role Stands Out

• True ownership: clear accountability, authority and executive backing
• Scale & complexity: enterprise systems, regulatory context and organisational change
• Purpose driven delivery: technology transformation that directly supports frontline public services
• Professional respect: a role designed for senior leaders, not micromanagement
• Contract role (IR35 status subject to determination)
• Long term engagement aligned to programme milestones
• Hybrid working with regular on site engagement
