Senior ERP Solution Engineer – North America

The Senior ERP Solution Engineer defines the end-to-end architecture of the Stealth 400 ERP platform and guides its evolution, ensuring that business processes (Finance, Supply Chain, Production,Wholesale and Retail, Procurement) are supported by scalable, integrated and sustainable solutions.

The role works closely with IT, Business and external partners, and is the technical reference for design decisions on transformation programs, international rollouts and integrations.

The position is based in the United States and was created for the project to extend Stealth 400,currently used in Europe, to North America (United States and Canada). The person is the on-site reference for American business stakeholders and partners, and works every day with the Stealth managers in Europe, who run the application. Once the project is completed, the person becomes the reference for ERP systems in North America:
Stealth and JDA 400 for retail.

The role always operates under the guidance of the European managers, to whom it refers and answers: the person does not take independent initiatives on systems, design, integrations or priorities,but agrees and validates them with Europe, which retains ownership and governance of the ERPsystems.
