Responsibilities

As a Technical Program Manager, you will drive the planning, execution, and delivery of our enterprise systems program: the ERP and the manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and finance systems that run the business. You will lead multiple concurrent projects across these platforms, owning schedule, scope, dependencies, risk, budget, governance, and cutover readiness from selection through integration, migration, and phased go-live.
Because these systems serve different stakeholders and company needs, this is a cross-functional leadership role. You will work across every department that depends on these platforms, alongside the Enterprise Systems Architect and external implementation partners, to keep each project on schedule, on budget, and aligned with company priorities. It is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of program leadership, enterprise systems, and hands-on execution in a fast-paced, high-impact environment.
Key Stakeholders: Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain and Procurement, Finance and Accounting, IT, Security, HR and People, Legal and Compliance, and Executive Leadership.
Own the integrated program plan and master schedule across concurrent enterprise systems projects, including ERP, MES, QMS, PLM, procurement, CRM, HRIS, and data warehouse, sequencing milestones and the critical path from selection through integration, migration, and phased go-live.
Lead platform selection and vendor evaluation with the Enterprise Systems Architect, running requirements, RFPs, demos, and scoring, and manage external implementation partners and systems integrators against statements of work, milestones, deliverables, and budget.
Manage cross-functional dependencies, scope, and change control across all stakeholder departments, clearing blockers and escalating risks and issues with clear options and recommendations.
Run program governance and executive reporting, including steering-committee cadence, decision logs, action tracking, and regular status on health, risk, and financials.
Drive delivery workstreams to closure across requirements, design, build, testing and user acceptance, integration, and data migration, with defined go/no-go criteria.
Plan and lead cutover, go-live readiness, and hypercare, and lead organizational change management, including stakeholder communications, training, and adoption, through transition to steady-state operations.
