  • Manage and coordinate the Epicor implementation partner, including scope oversight, deliverables, timelines, and issue escalation.

  • Oversee data migration, system configuration, testing cycles (unit, integration, and UAT), cutover planning, and go-live readiness.

  • Support and guide creation and validation of BAQs, BOMs, MOMs, and SQL-based reports as needed to support operations and reporting requirements.

  • Deliver end-user training to approximately 100–120 users, driving adoption of standardized workflows and best practices.

  • Lead change management efforts, influencing stakeholders to adopt new processes and system-driven ways of working.

  • Coordinate closely with IT, department leads, and third-party vendors to maintain execution velocity.

  • Support post-go-live stabilization, issue resolution, and continuous improvement initiatives.

  • Document workflows, SOPs, configuration decisions, and training materials.

  • Ensure compliance with Aerospace & Defense regulatory, quality, and audit requirements.
Required Qualifications

  • Proven Epicor Kinetic Project Management experience, including full lifecycle implementations.

  • Strong functional expertise in Epicor Operations modules: Production, Manufacturing, Quality, Inventory, and Supply Chain.

  • Demonstrated ability to track and manage complex ERP project tasks, dependencies, and execution.

  • Experience managing ERP implementation partners and vendors.

  • Experience working in Aerospace & Defense manufacturing or similarly regulated industries.

  • Proven ability to influence cross-functional teams and drive organizational change management.

  • Strong communication, leadership, and stakeholder-management skills.

  • Ability to work onsite 2 days per week in Ontario or Riverside, CA, with travel to Denver, CO as needed.
Preferred Skills

  • Ability to create and maintain BAQs, BOMs, MOMs, and SQL-based reports.
