IT Project Manager - ERP & Business Applications

POSITION OVERVIEW

The IT Project Manager - ERP & Business Applications is responsible for planning, coordinating, and delivering cross-functional enterprise business application initiatives that support TAS's growth and operations. This role serves as the execution owner for ERP and enterprise software projects, including implementations, upgrades, integrations, enhancements, and change requests - ensuring work is prioritized, coordinated, delivered on time, and adopted successfully by the business.

• Ensure initiatives meet defined success criteria and are transitioned cleanly into application support and steady-state operations.

Testing, Deployment & Adoption

• Coordinate requirements readiness, testing/UAT, release readiness, training readiness, and go-live activities for application implementations, upgrades, releases, and enhancements.
• Ensure project documentation, operating procedures, job aids, and training materials are prepared in partnership with IT and business subject matter experts.
• Support post-go-live stabilization (hypercare), track open issues to resolution, and confirm intended business outcomes are realized.

Application Portfolio, Intake & Enhancement Management

• Manage intake and maintain a centralized portfolio or backlog for new application projects, changes, enhancements, and other business application requests in partnership with IT leadership.
• Facilitate request triage, prioritization, sequencing, and assignment with IT and business owners, balancing capacity, urgency, dependencies, risk, and business impact.
• Maintain visibility through an application roadmap, release calendar, and consolidated status reporting; apply right-sized governance, templates, and delivery standards based on the size and complexity of each initiative.
• All other duties assigned by TAS.

• Experience managing a mixed portfolio of larger projects and smaller application changes or enhancements across multiple competing priorities.
• Experience coordinating business requirements, vendors, configuration activities, testing/UAT, deployment, training and change adoption, and post-go-live stabilization.
• Strong cross-functional leadership and communication skills, including the ability to translate technical work into business-relevant plans, decisions, and status updates.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Experience supporting Infor LN or another enterprise ERP platform such as SAP, Oracle, IFS etc.
• Experience delivering projects involving enterprise applications that support manufacturing, supply chain, transportation/logistics, procurement or supplier collaboration, human capital management, finance, or analytics (for example, McLeod, SourceDay, Workday, Power BI, or comparable platforms).
• Experience managing application enhancement backlogs, release plans, intake governance, or a portfolio of concurrent application initiatives.
• Experience working with third-party software vendors, consultants, and system integrators, with practical familiarity with application integrations, APIs, data flows, and interface dependencies.
