Responsibilities

Own and maintain the ERP/MRP improvement backlog, prioritizing across functional stakeholders and coordinating the sequencing, resourcing, and disciplined execution of highest‑impact changes.
Serve as the primary integrator for Programs, Operations, Finance, Supply Chain, and IT, aligning stakeholders on system‑change proposals, ensuring downstream business impacts are fully understood, and preventing siloed decisions that could create larger program problems.
Lead go/no‑go assessments for proposed SAP configuration changes, evaluating cost, schedule and technical risk, escalating unresolved issues to senior leadership, and establishing guardrails that protect business continuity throughout the improvement cycle.
Maintain a forward‑looking roadmap that sequences near‑term optimization actions while preserving alignment with long‑horizon system‑design requirements, ensuring today’s decisions do not foreclose tomorrow’s options.
Own communication between the ERP/MRP team, program offices and senior leadership, translating complex system changes into business‑relevant cost and schedule language that enables clear executive decision‑making and sustained organizational alignment.
Deliver measurable improvements in material availability, schedule adherence, supply‑signal accuracy and planning‑data quality by driving ERP/MRP configuration improvements and process discipline across the enterprise, turning system capability into tangible operational performance.
