About this role:

Would we love a Plex expert? Absolutely — but it isn't required. What we're really looking for is someone with a genuine passion for business applications, strong project management instincts, and the drive to grow into the go-to person for our ERP.

Our company runs on Rockwell Automation's Plex ERP across manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and finance. If you know your way around a few Plex modules — or have solid experience with another manufacturing ERP — and you're excited to go deeper, we will invest in getting you there. You won't be doing it alone: an established third-party consulting partner handles our most complex technical work (EDI mappings, integrations, advanced configuration), and a big part of this job is managing that partner well — setting priorities, tracking deliverables, and making sure we get what we pay for.

This is a build-your-expertise role with a clear runway: start by owning projects, vendor coordination, and day-to-day application support, and grow into full ownership of the Plex environment over time.

What You'll Do

Project & Vendor Management (your core strength)

· Manage our third-party ERP/EDI consulting partner: set priorities, assign and approve work, track deliverables, review performance, and hold the partner accountable to service levels.

· Lead ERP-related projects end to end — requirements gathering, scoping, timelines, testing, training, and go-live — keeping stakeholders informed and on track.

· Coordinate new EDI trading-partner setups and system changes across customers, suppliers, the consulting partner, and internal teams; document business requirements and coordinate testing.

· Own status reporting for IT leadership: project progress, open issues, vendor performance, and upcoming decisions

ERP Application Support (grow as you go)

· Serve as the internal point of contact for Plex questions and issues; triage, resolve what you can, and manage the rest through Plex support or our consulting partner to resolution.

· Handle day-to-day administration: user access and security roles, screen and module configuration, and master data integrity (items, BOMs, customers, suppliers, pricing) — with training and partner support as you ramp up.

· Follow and help improve our change control process: documenting, testing, and getting approval for system changes before release.

· Support recurring business processes in Plex, such as period-end activities and annual pricing uploads, in partnership with supply chain and finance.

Making Plex Work Better for Everyone

· Build internal Plex knowledge through training, documentation, and hands-on help so everyday answers don't bottleneck in IT.

· Create and lead a “Plex Champion” network of department super-users who provide first-line support and feed improvement ideas back to IT.

· Help drive the migration from Plex Classic to the Plex UX interface: plan by function, coordinate testing, and manage cutover with the business.

· Write and maintain SOPs, work instructions, and system documentation as you learn — turning your own ramp-up into resources for others.

What We're Looking For

· A genuine passion for business applications — you enjoy figuring out how systems work, making them work better, and helping people…
