Program Manager - Final Stages of ERP Transformation

About the role

A 12-month Program Manager contract in Sydney, mostly work from home with some time in the South-West Sydney office. The role oversees the final stages of a major ERP transformation at a mid-size industrial business, about eight months from go-live, working directly with the CEO, CFO and Board. The business is already training, data conversion and UAT, so the role provides governance control and decision-ready updates.

Key responsibilities

• Own program governance across the final stages, manage risk and give the Board confidence in progress
• Oversee training, data conversion and testing workstreams, tracking status and surfacing gaps early
• Report to the CEO, CFO and Board, turning technical detail into clear, decision-ready updates
• Lead governance of change management, assessing readiness and communicating it honestly upward and downward
• Coordinate a capable, engaged senior delivery team that is already bought in

Required profile

• Proven experience running governance or program management on a large-scale ERP or systems transformation
• Track record of reporting to C-suite and Board level, translating technical complexity into plain language
• Strong stakeholder management, able to hold people to account without burning relationships
• Solutions mindset, bringing options and recommendations to the Board
• Exposure to industrial project-based businesses and/or leases is useful but not essential
• Comfortable hands-on and flexible early on, then settling into a more remote rhythm

What we offer

• High-visibility mandate with a direct line to the CEO, CFO and Board
• Autonomy to set the governance rhythm in an otherwise well-run program
• Competitive package for a focused, time-boxed engagement
• Mostly remote work, with periodic travel to the head office and occasional site visits
• Immediate start
