About the role

We are seeking a highly experienced ERP Implementation Consultant to guide our organisation through a critical digital transformation. This contractor will be instrumental in replacing our legacy financial (Certinia) and operational (Ascent ERP) systems with a modern, global ERP solution capable of supporting 10x revenue scale and our planned expansion into multi-national manufacturing.

The ideal candidate possesses deep functional expertise in global finance, manufacturing, and supply chain processes, coupled with proven experience in end-to-end ERP selection and implementation projects.

What you'll do

Initially, you will be functioning as the lead Business Analyst and Project Coordinator, ensuring a robust, unbiased selection process.

Key Responsibilities

- Requirement Gathering:

- Conduct detailed workshops with Finance, Operations, Sales, and Leadership to finalize functional and non-functional requirements, with a specific focus on multi-entity consolidation, accurate FX management, and robust audit trails.

- Document 'Current State' processes (Certinia/Ascent/Salesforce) and define 'Future State' global process maps.

- RFP and Vendor Management:

- Prepare and finalize the Request for Proposal (RFP) documentation, ensuring all critical requirements (especially global finance and Salesforce integration) are clearly specified.

- Support the shortlisting process and coordinate vendor demonstrations (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, D365), evaluating vendor responses against defined criteria.

- Project Management Support:

- Assist the internal PMO with project planning, risk management, and communication across all internal stakeholders.

Following the selection of the new ERP, your duties will transition into a key implementation role.

Key Responsibilities

- Design and Configuration:

- Lead the detailed design phase, translating business requirements into technical configurations within the chosen ERP system.

- Focus on configuring the global chart of accounts, intercompany accounting, multi-currency settings, and consolidation hierarchies.

- Integration Management:

- Work closely with internal IT and integration partners to design and test the critical, real-time interface between the new ERP and Salesforce CRM, mitigating the decoupling risk.

- Testing and Training:

- Develop test scripts for User Acceptance Testing (UAT), particularly for financial consolidation and complex manufacturing scenarios.

- Support the creation of training materials and deliver training to end-users across Finance, Supply Chain, and Operations.

Qualifications

- 5+ years of progressive experience in ERP implementation roles (Consultant, Lead BA, or Project Manager).

- Must have recent experience with one or more Tier 1/Tier 2 global ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, Oracle, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365).

- Mandatory Expertise in Global Financial Management, including multi-entity consolidation, multi-currency accounting, and foreign exchange (FX) valuation.

- Demonstrated experience with manufacturing, inventory, and supply chain processes.

- Proven experience in defining, documenting, and managing requirements (RFP preparation).

- Strong technical understanding of CRM (Salesforce) integration principles and data alignment challenges.

- Exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and workshop facilitation skills.

- Ideally tertiary qualifications in Accounting, Finance or an equivalent + ADF experience is highly regarded and Veterans are encouraged to apply
