We are looking for a consultative, highly strategic Senior Project Manager to lead enterprise-class ERP software implementations across North America. In this role, you will quarterback complex, high-visibility digital transformations—ranging from focused 9-month modernization initiatives (250K+)tomulti-year,multi-million-dollar(3M–$4M+) global enterprise deployments.
You will manage the entire project lifecycle, driving disciplined scope execution, tight budget adherence, and customer change management across both Fixed-Price and Time & Materials (T&M) delivery models. You are someone who blends Big Four/Tier-1 consulting rigor with modern delivery agility: comfortable leveraging Professional Services Automation tools (Certinia/FinancialForce) to manage financials and resource allocation, while integrating cutting-edge AI workflows and test automation to compress delivery timelines and eliminate implementation friction.
What You'll Do
End-to-End Enterprise Delivery: Direct full-lifecycle ERP implementations from kickoff through Business Process Workshops (BPWs), Conference Room Pilots (CRP1/CRP2), User Acceptance Testing (UAT), cutover, go-live, and hypercare.
Commercial & Financial Governance: Manage project economics across Fixed-Price and T&M engagements. Maintain project margin targets, run billing and milestone forecasts, trigger resource requests, and track project health using our PSA backbone (Certinia).
Change Control & SOW Administration: Enforce rigorous scope management and formal change orders. Lead crucial alignment conversations with client leadership when deliverables or customer commitments deviate from the Statement of Work.
Executive Steering & Stakeholder Alignment: Lead executive steering committee reviews, establish transparent status reporting, manage cross-functional partner dependencies, and provide proactive risk mitigation.
AI-Augmented Project Management: Utilize generative AI tools to audit SOWs against kickoff deliverables, synthesize customer workshop transcripts into baseline configuration
specs, rapidly identify project risk patterns, and elevate client communications.
Quality & Test Automation: Partner with technical and functional consulting teams to drive testing automation, accelerating validation cycles and capturing structured post-implementation lessons learned.
Qualifications
Nice-to-Have
Hands-on familiarity with QAD ERP; however, deep experience with other Tier-1/Tier-2 enterprise systems (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Infor) is welcomed.
Practical adoption of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot) integrated into daily project management operations and documentation workflows.
Familiarity with automated ERP testing frameworks and business process re-engineering.
PMP, PMI-ACP, or PRINCE2 certification.
Who Thrives Here
Curious Problem Solvers: You don't just follow checklists; you dig into business processes, learn platform intricacies proactively, and navigate ambiguity with confidence.
Outcome Guardians: You hold the line on project scope and quality with diplomatic firmness, ensuring both QAD and the customer cross the finish line successfully.
Prepared & Present Professionals: You show up structured, prepared, and engaged—whether facilitating a remote steering committee session or walking the plant floor during cutover.
