Scope


Establish a credible, resource-loaded integrated project plan and maintain clear ownership across all workstreams.

Lead disciplined execution across process design, configuration, data conversion, integrations, testing, cutover, go-live, and hypercare.


Protect business continuity and customer service throughout the transition from Epicor 10.2 to Oracle EBS.


Provide concise, fact-based status reporting that enables leaders to act quickly on issues and decisions.

Key Responsibilities


Lead the end-to-end delivery of the Epicor 10.2 to Oracle EBS R12 migration, from November 2026 mobilization through the August 1, 2027 target go-live and approximately one month of hypercare.


Build, baseline, and manage the integrated project schedule, critical path, milestones, dependencies, deliverables, resource plan, and project budget.


Coordinate business and IT workstreams across order management, planning, sourcing, manufacturing, engineering, warehouse and logistics, finance, master data, reporting, integrations, security, testing, training, and cutover.


Partner with business and IT leaders to clarify scope, define accountable owners, secure resource commitments, and establish practical governance and decision rights.


Facilitate project kickoff, weekly delivery reviews, leadership updates, stage-gate readiness reviews, and working sessions needed to keep execution on track.


Maintain disciplined project controls, including risks, actions, issues, decisions, assumptions, dependencies, change requests, and milestone status.


Drive completion and approval of key project deliverables, including current-state and future-state process documentation, solution decisions, gap dispositions, test plans, cutover plans, training readiness, and operational handoff.


Lead cross-functional planning for data cleansing, conversion, reconciliation, and validation, including clear ownership and business sign-off.


Ensure test cycles are planned and executed with entry and exit criteria, business participation, defect triage, readiness reporting, and formal approvals.


Develop and manage an integrated cutover and contingency plan, including command-center governance, go-live readiness, stabilization, and transition to support.


Manage external partners and consultants against agreed scope, deliverables, schedule, quality expectations, and commercial commitments.


Communicate complex project information in clear, concise, actionable terms for executives, project leaders, workstream teams, and site stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

At least 7 years of IT project management experience, including significant responsibility for full-lifecycle ERP implementations in a manufacturing environment.
