Description

Associate Project Manager, Information Systems (Procure-to-Pay) - Contract Role

Job Type: 26 Weeks (Potential for Extension or Conversion)

Location: On-site support required (travel to internal facilities as needed)

Overview

We are seeking a highly capable Associate Project Manager (Information Systems) to support the Procure-to-Pay (PTP) workstream within a large-scale ERP transformation program. This role is hands-on, execution-focused, and central to ensuring end-user readiness, training support, and on-site deployment success-particularly across internal Contract Manufacturer (CM) teams.

The ideal candidate excels in fast-moving environments, is proactive in identifying gaps, and is comfortable leading activities without formal authority. This role requires strong project coordination skills, clear communication, and the ability to engage directly with business users, IT stakeholders, and deployment teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with the PTP Business Process Owner (BPO) and IT to review, refine, and validate training materials and exercises.
• Ensure training content is accurate, usable, and aligned to future-state processes.
• Support preparation activities, including validation of training environments, materials, and exercises.
• Collaborate with Deployment Group (DG) leaders to confirm accurate end-user role mapping.
• Test and validate training IDs (access, navigation, issue identification) and escalate issues as needed.
• Support training rollout, including readiness tracking, capability confirmation, and content reviews with end users.
• Assist in updating end-user business process documentation.
• Serve as the on-site PTP lead for internal CM teams during go-live and hypercare, including:
• Floor-walking and direct user support
• Logging and tracking defects
• Escalating issues through structured program channels
• Own and manage PTP deliverables, ensuring tasks are tracked, updated, and driven to closure.
• Build and maintain trackers, dashboards, and status reports aligned to program milestones.
• Identify risks early, support mitigation strategies, and communicate progress consistently.
• Support change management and structured problem-solving for readiness or process challenges.
• Coordinate across PTP, FTP, IT, DGs, and site teams to ensure aligned execution.
• Provide logistical support for workshops, training sessions, and site visits.
• Prepare clear and professional communications and presentations for leadership and end-user audiences.
• Support lessons-learned activities and integrate improvements into ongoing PTP ways of working.
• Assist with onboarding new sites and users for future releases, including global template overviews, readiness planning, and execution support.

Requirements

Qualifications

• Experience supporting ERP-related transformation initiatives; hands-on SAP experience strongly preferred.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
• Ability to thrive in ambiguity, learn quickly, and solve problems proactively.
• Clear, confident, and consistent communication skills across business and IT stakeholders.
• Comfortable engaging with end users directly, including during go-live and hypercare activities.
• Experience supporting Procure-to-Pay or related supply chain/operations workstreams is a plus.
