Description

Position Summary:

An ideal candidate will come to with experience and background in ERP implementation projects. Candidates should be able to demonstrate the ability and desire to implement an ERP, CRM, or other business system on an as-needed basis. Their ERP implementation projects range from being the primary implementation leads for complex multi organizational projects to smaller implementation projects where we support other implementation partners. They are software vendor agnostic, so having experience with more than one business system implementation is preferred.

They generate many of their implementation projects from software evaluation and selection projects. The ideal candidate will be a versatile and effective business analyst and project manager that can contribute in software vendor evaluations, through to ERP implementation and ongoing support.

They have clients in a wide range of industries from Higher Education to Manufacturing and Distribution to Marketing and Advertising. A candidate who will be able to operate in any industry would be ideal.

They are looking for candidates with all ranges of experience, from junior to senior level experience and will review any candidate with varying degrees of match to this position description. The key driver to whether a candidate will go far in the process is their match to the culture and company values.
