The mandate

The portfolio company is running on systems that cannot support the plan — often several incompatible systems following a roll-up. You lead the consolidation: a single ERP across multiple manufacturing facilities, on a schedule the sponsor set with an exit in mind.

ERP migrations are where transformation timelines go to die. You are hired because you have brought one in before, under pressure, without stopping the shipments.

What you'll own

ERP selection, migration, or consolidation across multiple sites — SAP, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, Epicor, Infor, or similar
Program governance, budget, and timeline, with direct board and sponsor reporting
Systems integration following acquisition, including data mapping and master data cleanup
Cutover planning and execution without disrupting production or customer delivery
Application rationalization and technical debt reduction
Cybersecurity posture, including access control, patching discipline, and incident readiness
IT organizational design and vendor management
Reporting and analytics capability — the ability to produce margin by product and by customer without a manual rebuild

What you bring

15+ years in IT leadership, with prior CIO, CTO, or IT VP accountability
At least two full ERP implementations or migrations led end to end in manufacturing environments
Multi-site and multi-entity systems consolidation experience
Genuine manufacturing process understanding — you know what MRP is actually doing
Budget and vendor negotiation authority at scale
Ability to say no to scope creep when the timeline cannot absorb it

Strong plus: post-acquisition systems integration; carve-out IT separation; PE portfolio experience; MES and shop floor systems; exposure to digital transformation programs beyond ERP.
