An organization is bringing supply chain and finance processes across its market groups together on one future-proof ERP platform. By phasing out legacy systems, clearer processes, more reliable data, and a stronger foundation for scale and future AI-enabled capabilities are created. The direction and roadmap are in place. As our Interim ERP Project Manager, you bring structure, seniority, and momentum to a complex change program in which process, data, technology, and multiple stakeholders come together.
You are a senior sparring partner for experienced professionals and leadership. You do not need to redefine the content direction: Navision is being replaced with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) and the aim is to stay as close to the standard as possible. Within those boundaries, you are expected to critically test the existing roadmap and assumptions and, where needed, propose an alternative course. You turn priorities into practical next steps, make progress visible, and manage for results.
What you will do.
- Translate the existing roadmap into a clear delivery rhythm, with practical priorities, milestones, and follow-up - while identifying when assumptions, sequencing, or planning need to be adjusted.
- Ensure open choices and bottlenecks reach the right people, push through when needed, and lead these topics effectively towards the Steering Committee.
- Make progress, dependencies, risks, bottlenecks, and trade-offs visible, and steer towards the agreed result.
- Align Finance, Operations, key users, IT, a technology partner, integration partners, and external logistics and warehousing parties around shared progress.
- Work with business owners to identify optimization opportunities and ensure that process choices and customization deliver customer value within the F&O standard.
Profile
You will work within the organization's IT environment, alongside experienced ERP professionals and colleagues from across the organization. The team has the ERP expertise it needs; your contribution is senior project leadership: creating clarity, focus, and follow-through, connecting people, and leading the team through a critical delivery phase with a human approach.
You will work closely with business owners, leadership, key users, a technology partner, integration partners, and external parties connected to the organization's processes and systems. The CFO is the sponsor; the Steering Committee consists of the CEO, CFO, IT Manager, and ERP implementation partner. You have a mandate for day-to-day delivery, team leadership, and organizing execution.
Changes in course, planning and budget, and decisions on process changes or customization investments are brought to the Steering Committee. You have the freedom to shape your approach and are expected to escalate and push through when progress requires it.
What they ask
- Over 10 years of experience leading complex ERP implementations or transitions, preferably involving Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O), in a role where you also led senior stakeholders and decision-making.
- Bringing an existing ERP roadmap or implementation program through a critical delivery phase, including identifying risks and proposing well-founded course changes when needed.
- Structuring planning, dependencies, risks, issues, and decision-making across multiple workstreams, with clear escalation to governance when decisions fall outside your mandate.
- Managing stakeholders in a complex environment involving business teams, IT, implementation partners, and external integration parties.
- Enough technical and architectural understanding to recognize risks and unnecessary customization, challenge constructively, and work with ERP specialists and partners to protect customer value within the F&O standard.
