The Project Manager will own integrated planning and execution from mobilization through go-live and hypercare, while aligning business, IT, functional, technical, data, testing, and change-management teams.

What Success Looks Like

• Establish a credible, resource-loaded integrated project plan and maintain clear ownership across all workstreams.
• Drive timely decisions, dependency management, risk mitigation, and escalation without losing sight of business outcomes.

• Protect business continuity and customer service throughout the transition from Epicor 10.2 to Oracle EBS.
• Provide concise, fact-based status reporting that enables leaders to act quickly on issues and decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of the Epicor 10.2 to Oracle EBS R12 migration, from November 2026 mobilization through the August 1, 2027 target go-live and approximately one month of hypercare.
• Build, baseline, and manage the integrated project schedule, critical path, milestones, dependencies, deliverables, resource plan, and project budget.
• Coordinate business and IT workstreams across order management, planning, sourcing, manufacturing, engineering, warehouse and logistics, finance, master data, reporting, integrations, security, testing, training, and cutover.
• Partner with business and IT leaders to clarify scope, define accountable owners, secure resource commitments, and establish practical governance and decision rights.
• Facilitate project kickoff, weekly delivery reviews, leadership updates, stage-gate readiness reviews, and working sessions needed to keep execution on track.
• Maintain disciplined project controls, including risks, actions, issues, decisions, assumptions, dependencies, change requests, and milestone status.
• Drive completion and approval of key project deliverables, including current-state and future-state process documentation, solution decisions, gap dispositions, test plans, cutover plans, training readiness, and operational handoff.
• Lead cross-functional planning for data cleansing, conversion, reconciliation, and validation, including clear ownership and business sign-off.
• Ensure test cycles are planned and executed with entry and exit criteria, business participation, defect triage, readiness reporting, and formal approvals.
• Develop and manage an integrated cutover and contingency plan, including command-center governance, go-live readiness, stabilization, and transition to support.
• Manage external partners and consultants against agreed scope, deliverables, schedule, quality expectations, and commercial commitments.
• Communicate complex project information in clear, concise, actionable terms for executives, project leaders, workstream teams, and site stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• At least 7 years of IT project management experience, including significant responsibility for full-lifecycle ERP implementations in a manufacturing environment.
