- Partner closely with technology and program leadership, leveraging internal development resources throughout the initiative.
- Provide hands-on functional and technical expertise to guide ERP design, migration, configuration, integration, and implementation decisions.

- Experience with ERP data migration, including mapping, conversion, validation, and reconciliation.
- Experience working with integrations between ERP platforms and retail systems such as POS, finance, ecommerce, and vendor EDI.
- Experience evaluating existing ERP environments and identifying necessary configuration, architecture, process, or design changes.

- Ability to work effectively across functional and technical teams and partner with business, technology, and program leadership.
- Comfortable providing hands-on expertise throughout the project lifecycle, from assessment and solution design through migration, testing, and implementation.
