Senior ERP Strategy Consultant (Manufacturing & Logistics)
The Opportunity
A premier, high-growth manufacturing and metal services firm is seeking a Senior ERP Strategy Consultant to architect the next phase of our digital evolution. Over the past 17 years, we have scaled from a startup to a $100M enterprise. Our current legacy system (Axis) and manual processes have reached their limit.
We need a heavy hitter to lead a "Build vs. Buy" analysis, evaluating whether a custom-built proprietary system or a Tier 1/Tier 2 packaged solution is the right engine for our future growth.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Roadmap: Lead the evaluation of our current legacy environment and provide a definitive recommendation on the ROI of a custom build versus a packaged ERP implementation.
Process Mapping: Analyze and document current workflows, specifically focusing on the transition from manual "Inventory to Board" tracking to automated data capture.
Shop Floor Modernization: Design a strategy to integrate Android mobile QR scanning into the receiving and lab processes (receiving components into cartons and part-cutting).
Inventory & Logistics Overhaul: Architect a solution for complex logistics, including equipment inventory management and "many-to-many" dry box shipment tracking.
Compliance & Risk: Identify and remediate gaps in OCI compliance and technical documentation to ensure the firm meets modern industry standards.
Stakeholder Leadership: Act as the primary technical advisor to ownership, ensuring the new ERP strategy supports aggressive revenue scaling.
The Ideal Profile
The Veteran: 10+ years of senior-level IT consulting or CIO-level experience, specifically within the manufacturing sector.
The Architect: You have successfully moved a mid-market company off a "retired" or homegrown legacy system and onto a modern platform.
The Realist: You understand that a $100M company cannot run on Excel and manual entries. You know how to integrate mobile hardware (scanners) with back-end inventory logic.
The Communicator: You can navigate the shop floor and the boardroom with equal ease, translating technical requirements into business outcomes.
Project Environment
Current Systems: Legacy Axis platform (minimal support) supplemented by extensive Excel usage.
Operational Scope: Includes specialized lab receiving, part-cutting operations, and complex warehouse entry points.
Growth Target: Building the infrastructure to support the next $100M+ in expansion.
