We are seeking a Manufacturing IT Leader to drive process improvement and operational efficiency by leveraging QAD and Infor XA ERP solutions within two newly established lines of business. This role will focus on optimizing and enhancing manufacturing, supply chain, and financial processes while ensuring ERP system reliability, integration, and alignment with overall business objectives. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in manufacturing ERP management, process improvement, and digital transformation to support scalable and efficient operations.


In addition to leading ERP strategy for the new business lines, this role will oversee several smaller ERP solutions acquired through recent acquisitions. These systems will be phased out over time, and responsibilities will include managing relationships with third-party managed service providers (MSPs), ensuring service quality, and optimizing costs to maintain business continuity until migration to standardized ERP platforms is complete. This is a critical leadership role that requires a strategic mindset, hands-on ERP expertise, and a strong ability to drive change in a dynamic manufacturing environment.


Key Responsibilities:

Analyze and improve manufacturing, supply chain, and financial processes through ERP-driven solutions.
Identify inefficiencies and implement automation, standardization, and best practices to enhance productivity.
Work closely with cross-functional teams to streamline workflows, reduce waste, and improve operational agility.
Drive data-driven decision-making by optimizing ERP reporting, analytics, and dashboards.
Ensure ERP solutions align with lean manufacturing principles and continuous improvement initiatives.



ERP Strategy & Optimization

Oversee the daily operations, enhancement, and governance of QAD and Infor XA systems.
Evaluate and implement new ERP functionalities, integrations, and customizations to meet evolving business needs.
Develop and enforce ERP usage standards, data governance policies, and reporting frameworks.
Ensure system reliability, security, and compliance with industry regulations.



Vendor & Stakeholder Management

Manage relationships with ERP vendors, consultants, and third-party support providers.
Ensure compliance with industry regulations and internal IT policies.
Monitor vendor performance against SLAs, ensuring timely system support, updates, and enhancements.
Establish and maintain communication channels with vendors for troubleshooting, escalations, and system improvements.
Ensure vendors comply with security best practices, data protection policies, and regulatory requirements.
Track ERP-related expenses and identify cost-saving opportunities through vendor negotiations or service consolidation.



Project & Change Management

Lead ERP implementation, migration, and integration projects, ensuring minimal disruption to operations.
Develop project plans, timelines, and resource strategies to support business objectives.
Manage change control processes and user adoption strategies to maximize ERP ROI.
Ensure cross-functional alignment between IT, operations, finance, and leadership teams.



User Training & Support

Provide hands-on training and knowledge-sharing to end users, ensuring ERP adoption and proficiency.
Develop user-friendly documentation and best practices for ERP usage.
Act as the liaison between IT, manufacturing teams, and leadership to translate business needs into ERP solutions.



Qualifications & Experience:

Bachelor’s degree in information systems, industrial engineering, business administration, or a related field.
5+ years of experience managing ERP systems in a manufacturing environment.
Proven expertise in process improvement, lean manufacturing, and digital transformation.
Strong understanding of QAD and Infor XA platforms.
Experience with other manufacturing ERP is a plus.
Experience with ERP integrations, automation, and reporting tools.
Knowledge of EDI, MES, shop floor automation, and data analytics is a plus.
Strong project management, change management, and leadership skills.
Excellent problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration abilities.
