ERP Transformation Project Manager

ERP Transformation Project Manager - Chorley

Are you a Project Manager who's led a full-scale ERP transformation, not just an IT rollout? Do you enjoy working across finance, procurement and operations to get a business genuinely ready for a new system, not just installed on one? Fancy taking ownership of a major transformation programme within a well-established engineering business?

What's in it for you:

• Day rate in the region of 550- 650 outside IR35
• A genuine end-to-end programme, from current-state assessment through to selection, implementation and adoption
• Real ownership as the client-side lead, with consultants and vendors reporting into you

What will you be doing?

• Leading the transformation programme to replace the business's core management systems, from current-state assessment and requirements definition through to ERP selection, implementation and adoption
• Acting as client-side lead, managing consultants and vendors throughout
• Overseeing integration of finance, procurement, project controls, timesheets/resource management and reporting into the new system
• Running requirements gathering and vendor selection
• Managing senior stakeholders and leading change across the business as it adopts new ways of working

Where you'll be doing it:

This is a well-established engineering organisation of around 600 people, based in Chorley, currently replacing its core business management systems as part of a wider transformation programme.

What you'll need:

• Proven experience delivering an ERP or business management system transformation end-to-end
• Experience integrating finance, procurement, project controls, timesheets/resource management and reporting
• Strong requirements definition, vendor selection and implementation experience
• Excellent senior stakeholder and change management skills
• Background in engineering, professional services, nuclear or another regulated/project-based environment is strongly preferred
• A genuine business transformation mindset - this is not simply an IT project management role
