ERP Project Manager

ERP Pronto Project Manager 12 Month Contract Opportunity

Your New Company
Join an established, asset-intensive organisation operating across manufacturing, production and regional operations. Following a recent business acquisition, the organisation is undertaking a significant technology transition to establish its own enterprise systems and supporting IT environment.
With a newly established Brisbane-based IT function and operations across multiple Queensland locations, the business is working to a critical transition deadline and requires an experienced ERP Implementation Project Manager to lead the delivery of its new Pronto ERP platform.
Your New Role
As the ERP Implementation Project Manager, you will take ownership of a business-critical Pronto ERP implementation, managing the program from planning through to go-live.
Working to a compressed and non-negotiable delivery timeline, you will develop and drive the integrated project plan, coordinate resources and ensure approximately 12 interconnected workstreams remain aligned. These include warehousing, logistics, asset maintenance, production, procurement, sales, marketing, finance, projects, data migration and technical integrations.
This is a highly hands-on delivery role requiring you to:

• Lead the end-to-end implementation of Pronto ERP.
• Develop and actively manage the project schedule, risks, issues, dependencies and change activities.
• Coordinate multiple business and technical workstreams toward a common go-live date.
• Drive business engagement and ensure key resources deliver against agreed milestones.
• Manage communications and reporting across the project.
• Work closely with the Pronto implementation team and internal Project Coordinator.
• Engage with senior executives, operational leaders and the governance steering committee.
• Ensure the organisation successfully transitions away from its existing SAP environment without operational disruption.
• Undertake occasional travel to regional Queensland sites as required.

What You'll Need to Succeed
To succeed in this role, you will be an experienced ERP Project Manager with a strong track record of delivering complex implementations in operational environments.
You will bring:

• Proven Pronto ERP implementation experience, ideally across a full end-to-end implementation.
• Strong project management capability across planning, scheduling, governance, risk, change and communications.
• A hands-on delivery style with the ability to build project plans and personally drive execution.
• Experience coordinating multiple concurrent business and technical workstreams.
• Background within asset-intensive manufacturing, mining, resources, industrial or similarly complex operational environments.
• Experience managing data migration, integrations and business readiness activities as part of an ERP implementation.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, including confidence working with C-suite executives, steering committees and operational leaders.
• The ability to operate effectively within aggressive timelines and competing business priorities.
• Availability to commence at short notice.
• Willingness to undertake infrequent travel to regional Queensland locations.

What you'll get in return

• 12-month contract with an ASAP start.
• Competitive market-rate remuneration.
