  • Drive cross-functional alignment across business, IT, data, and integration teams.
  • Proactively identify risks, issues, and dependencies; develop mitigation and escalation strategies.
  • Manage vendor performance, deliverables, and contract alignment.
  • Facilitate key project ceremonies including status meetings, steering committees, and executive updates.
  • Ensure disciplined change control, scope management, and decision tracking.
  • Support readiness activities across data, testing, cutover, and go-live planning.

Required Qualifications:

  • 10+ years of Project Management experience, with multiple ERP implementation projects.
  • Direct experience leading Dynamics 365 ERP projects (Finance & Operations).
  • Proven track record managing complex, multi-vendor enterprise initiatives.
  • Strong understanding of ERP delivery lifecycles, including data migration, integrations, testing, and deployment.
  • Ability to operate independently in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence senior stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with large-scale enterprise or regulated environments.
  • Familiarity with data migration and legacy system modernization.
