Senior / Principal ERP Consultant

Senior / Principal ERP Consultant

Priority Wire & Cable is seeking an experienced Senior Infor M3 / CSDE Consultant to join our Information Technology team as a full-time employee remotely or hybrid if located near our Little Rock, AR corporate headquarters or one of our other offices.

This is a high-impact, hands-on role at the center of our Infor CloudSuite Distribution Enterprise (CSDE) environment — including M3, Factory Track, and Rhythm for Commerce. You will lead end-to-end implementation, data conversion, testing, customizations, integrations, and ongoing support activities across multiple M3 functional areas, ensuring seamless business process optimization and broad system adoption across our 22-location distribution network.

The ideal candidate brings a proven track record of M3 implementation delivery, deep functional expertise across distribution business processes, and the interpersonal skills to build lasting relationships at every level of the organization — from warehouse floor to executive suite. If you are an experienced M3 consultant who is ready to move from project-to-project contract work into a stable, full-time internal role where your contributions have lasting and visible impact, this is that opportunity.

Implementation & Configuration

• Lead end-to-end Infor M3 / CSDE implementation project from requirements through go-live and post-production support.

• Configure and optimize M3 modules across assigned business streams — including Warehousing, Procurement, Sales, Finance, and Manufacturing — aligned to Priority Wire & Cable's distribution operations.

• Develop data conversion ETL scripts and procedures.

• Apply Infor implementation methodologies (Infor Deployment Method, Implementation Accelerators, Infor Agility framework) to ensure structured, repeatable project delivery.

• Develop and execute conference room pilots, user acceptance testing plans, and go-live cutover strategies.

Business Analysis & Process Design

• Partner with business stakeholders across operations, finance, sales, and procurement to gather, document, and validate functional and technical requirements.

• Translate complex business requirements into scalable, supportable M3 solutions — balancing standard configuration with targeted customization.

• Identify process improvement opportunities within CSDE and proactively recommend solutions that drive operational efficiency across our distribution network.

• Develop fit-gap analyses and functional design documents for customizations, integrations, and enhancements.

Integration & Technical Collaboration

• Manage and support ERP integrations between CSDE components (M3, Factory Track, Rhythm for Commerce) and external systems — including EDI, third-party logistics, and e-commerce platforms.

• Leverage Infor ION and related middleware tools to design and troubleshoot integration workflows.

• Apply strong SQL and database management skills to support data migration, reporting, data validation, and root-cause analysis of system issues.

• Collaborate with IT infrastructure, network, and development teams to ensure stable, performant cloud deployments.

Training, Adoption & Support

• Design and deliver end-user training programs and supporting documentation for M3 functional areas.

• Provide Tier 2/3 application support for CSDE — diagnosing, escalating, and resolving issues with urgency and clear communication.

• Act as a trusted subject matter expert and internal consultant for business users across all Priority Wire & Cable locations.

Project & Stakeholder Management

• Manage project workstreams, timelines, and deliverables — balancing hands-on execution with clear stakeholder communication and executive reporting.

• Build and maintain effective working relationships with internal teams, business stakeholders, and Infor partner resources at all levels.

• Contribute to IT governance, change management processes, and ERP roadmap planning in partnership with the VP of IT.

Technical Skills

• Deep functional expertise in at least two of the following M3 business streams: Manufacturing, Warehousing, Procurement, Sales, Finance.

• Strong SQL skills and practical database management experience — including writing queries, troubleshooting data issues, and supporting data migration efforts.

• Working knowledge of ERP integrations, API frameworks, and cloud-based ERP deployment models.

• Familiarity with Infor implementation methodologies — Infor Deployment Method (IDM), Implementation Accelerators (60:30:10 approach), or Infor Agility.

Professional Skills

• Demonstrated ability to translate business requirements into scalable, practical ERP solutions without over-customizing.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — with the credibility and presence to present to executives and guide end-users with equal effectiveness.

• Strong organizational and project management capabilities; ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams without losing detail.

• Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment with minimal bureaucratic overhead.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5-8+ years of ERP experience, with a minimum of 5 years specifically in Infor M3.

• Demonstrated participation in a minimum of 1–2 full end-to-end Infor M3 implementation projects (not just post-go-live support) — from business requirements through go-live.

• Hands-on post-implementation experience supporting and optimizing M3 in a production environment.

• Prior experience in the distribution, wholesale, or supply chain industry — understanding of distribution-specific processes such as order management, inventory, warehouse operations, and procurement is required.

Preferred Qualifications

• 12+ years of ERP experience overall, with a minimum of 8 years specifically in Infor M3.

• Minimum 3–5 completed end-to-end Infor M3 implementation projects with demonstrated leadership accountability — not just participation — across the full project lifecycle.

• Expert-level functional knowledge across the full CSDE stack, with deep expertise in at least three M3 business streams: Warehousing, Procurement, Sales, Finance, Manufacturing.

• Advanced SQL and database management skills — data modeling, query optimization, data migration design, and reporting infrastructure.

• Hands-on experience with M3 APIs (MvxAPI / MAK) and CSDE scripting/customization tools.

• Experience with Infor Factory Track — specifically Warehouse Mobility and/or Shop Floor modules including M3 integration design and configuration.

• Experience with Infor Rhythm for Commerce — B2B e-commerce platform with M3 integration for real-time inventory, pricing, order management, or document reviews.

• Experience with Infor ION integration platform and Infor Ming.le/OS.

• Prior experience in CloudSuite Distribution Enterprise (CSDE) — not just legacy on-premise M3.

• Multi-tenant cloud experience — migration experience transitioning from on-premise or hosted ERP to multi-tenant SaaS. Experience with multi-tenant cloud ERP environments, Infor OS / Ming.le, and CSDE release management.

• Infor certifications or formal Infor partner training.

• Familiarity with data lake architecture and business intelligence tooling connected to CSDE (e.g., Infor Birst, DBeaver with Infor Compass JDBC, or equivalent). Background working within a distribution company's internal IT department (as opposed to exclusively consulting roles). Background in wire, cable, electrical, or industrial distribution highly preferred.

• Demonstrated ability to operate as a senior internal advisor — influencing decisions, driving alignment, and managing competing stakeholder priorities without formal authority over all parties.

• Track record of mentoring junior practitioners and building team ERP capability over time.
