The company have an unusual way of working as they have a team of product managers who deal with each of the modules: Finance Manufacturing Distribution Construction CRM Ecommerce So the consultant role involves liaising with these product managers and also involving them in the meeting with the client. This takes a lot of the work away from the Consultant and allows the product experts to do their bit with minimal fuss. Typically you will work on 2 large projects at once (50-100 days each) and then have a few smaller projects too. The role is fully remote and you will probably need to be on client site one day each quarter, at the most it will be 2 days onsite per month.

This is something you will have picked up working as an ERP Implementation consultant. Of course you can deal with the product managers to establish more details about the bespoke development. This role is to take on the entire ERP project from start to finish, you will be wholly responsible and in charge of the outcome, so this is a role that would suit an experienced ERP consultant with ambition and drive, but also the capacity to think clearly and strategically.

You will be a hands on Implementation consultant, you will have experience of dealing with (difficult/stupid/awkward/annoying) clients and you will know how to get stuff done in and ERP Implementation environment. You will be ambitious, looking for a step up in your career and happy to commit to a long term career. The company have an unusual way of working as they have a team of product managers who deal with each of the modules: Finance Manufacturing Distribution Construction CRM Ecommerce So the consultant role involves liaising with these product managers and also involving them in the meeting with the client. This takes a lot of the work away from the Consultant and allows the product experts to do their bit with minimal fuss. Typically you will work on 2 large projects at once (50-100 days each) and then have a few smaller projects too. The role is fully remote and you will probably need to be on client site one day each quarter, at the most it will be 2 days onsite per month. The projects often have a lot of customisation and it is important that you are able to tell instinctively what is a big bespoke job and what is a small one. This is something you will have picked up working as an ERP Implementation consultant. Of course you can deal with the product managers to establish more details about the bespoke development. This role is to take on the entire ERP project from start to finish, you will be wholly responsible and in charge of the outcome, so this is a role that would suit an experienced ERP consultant with ambition and drive, but also the capacity to think clearly and strategically. Please apply and I'll read your Cv, thanks Jake
