IT Project Manager - ERP & Business

Position Overview

IT Project Manager - ERP & Business Applications is responsible for planning, coordinating, and delivering cross-functional enterprise business application initiatives that support TAS's growth and operations. This role serves as the execution owner for ERP and enterprise software projects, including implementations, upgrades, integrations, enhancements, and change requests - ensuring work is prioritized, coordinated, delivered on time, and adopted successfully by the business.

The role manages a mixed portfolio ranging from major implementations and projects to smaller application changes and enhancements across systems such as Infor LN, McLeod, Source Day, Workday, analytics/reporting platforms, and other business applications. It sits within the System of Management (Project Management Office) pillar of the IT Applications organization and partners closely with ERP Analysts, Data & Analytics, Integration, application support resources, vendors, and business stakeholders to convert priorities into reliable outcomes.
