• Up to 12 months duration, possibly longer
  
• Complex ERP programme at crucial stage of development
  
• Multiple module software implementation a must!
  

This client is in the process of implementing a significant ERP "replacement" programme.  There is a large number of legacy systems that are being "merged" into one that will impact on all aspects of their business, and they are at a crucial stage of the process.

The Opportunity

We require a Senior Project Manager to lead the implementation of a variety of modues. With the programme currently "in flight", and the first module due to go live within the next few months, this is a crucial time that requires an expert who can step in and assume responsibility with barely a blip in the process!  The environment is complex with systems ranging from finance and procurement through to highly specialised areas exclusive to the operations of this business.

Requirements

Imperative for this project is experience in project managing this type of project. We are looking for someone who is highly experienced in project management but also experienced in change in a complex environment.  This is not a technical IT role, but more one that requires a strong understanding of broad business practice and the interactions between the affected disciplines.

An ideal background would be coming from an accounting and finance or supply chain background, rather than a technical IT background.

We would anticipate that you would need a minimum of 5-10 years in project management, supported by a tertiary qualification and a PM qualification.

Benefits

This is a great opportunity to "slip into" an existing project and make a significant contribution to a successful outcome.  Whilst not open-ended, this client wants the best available person to ensure success prevails

Whilst Waikato-based, you don't have to be as the client will ensure the reward is right for the best possible person to lead this project.
