• This role owns all Epicor-related priorities, decisions, and outcomes. You will lead the transition from a partially utilized system to a fully integrated platform supporting sales, planning, production, accounting, and reporting. This includes ownership of process alignment, data integrity standards, system capabilities, and user adoption.
• This role defines what gets done and why partnering with system and operations resources to execute configuration, support, and day-to-day activities. Success requires strong business judgment, clear prioritization, and the ability to drive measurable results.

• Provide direction and validation for system configuration, reporting, and development work
• Establish governance for system changes, prioritization, and releases
• Drive user adoption through training alignment, process standardization, and continuous improvement

Requirements

• We are looking for a builder and problem-solver, not a passive system administrator.
• Strong ownership mindset, you take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks
• Proven ability to fix or scale ERP systems in manufacturing environments
• Ability to simplify complex problems into scalable, system-driven solutions
• Proactive and self-directed, you identify opportunities and act
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and driving clarity across stakeholders
• Willing to challenge the status quo and push for better solutions
• Sound judgment in balancing speed, system integrity, and long-term scalability

• 5+ years of Epicor ERP experience
• Experience owning or leading ERP systems or platforms
• Hands-on experience with BOMs, routings, costing, and production workflows
• Strong understanding of cross-functional manufacturing processes
• Proven ability to translate business needs into technical solutions
• Experience managing and prioritizing multiple initiatives
• Deep experience in several of the following areas, with working knowledge across the rest:

• Purchasing & Supply Chain (procurement workflows, supplier coordination)
• Order Management (order entry, fulfillment, customer delivery)
