The ERP & Business Systems Project Manager is responsible for delivering end-to-end projects that enhance the organisation’s enterprise systems landscape. This includes managing ERP implementation or upgrade projects, integrating business systems (e.g., CRM, MES, PLM, finance systems), and driving digital process improvements across the business. The role ensures projects are delivered on time, to budget, and to the required quality, while actively engaging business stakeholders to ensure benefits are realised.
