Project Manager

This is a remote position.

Main purpose of the position:

The purpose of this position is to lead and govern a complex, large-scale global ERP-class transformation, including the migration from Microsoft Dynamics NAV to Business Central and rollout across more than 20 countries. The role is accountable for end-to-end delivery, robust programme governance, executive stakeholder alignment, and effective decision-making across the full transformation lifecycle.

Key expectations:

You will bring a proactive, structured, and delivery-focused approach to leading a highly complex global transformation. You will confidently navigate a cross-functional and multi-country environment, align diverse and demanding stakeholders at senior executive level, and maintain momentum across multiple workstreams and regions. A key expectation is to establish and embed governance practices that ensure transparency, accountability, timely escalation, and clear decision-making. Success in this role requires strong executive presence, resilience, sound judgement, and a proven ability to lead business-critical ERP programmes through ambiguity, competing priorities, and organisational change.



Work task to be carried out:

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of the global ERP transformation, from mobilisation and planning through migration, deployment, transition, and closure.
  
• Govern the migration from Microsoft Dynamics NAV to Business Central and coordinate rollout across more than 20 countries.
  
• Establish and manage programme governance, including steering committees, reporting structures, decision protocols, quality controls, and escalation paths.
  
• Own and control programme scope, roadmap, milestones, budget, resources, risks, issues, dependencies, and delivery quality.
  
• Engage, influence, and align senior executives, country leadership, Finance, Technology, Operations, and programme sponsors.
  
• Coordinate global and regional teams, implementation partners, vendors, and cross-functional workstreams to ensure integrated delivery.
  
• Oversee country readiness, business process alignment, data migration, testing, cutover, deployment, stabilisation, and transition to operations.
  
• Balance global standardisation with justified local, regulatory, and business requirements.
  
• Provide clear executive reporting, evidence-based recommendations, and timely escalation of critical decisions and delivery risks.
  
• Drive change management, business readiness, stakeholder communication, adoption, and benefits realisation across the programme.
  



Must-have knowledge and experience:

• 10+ years of experience leading complex, large-scale IT transformation projects or programmes.
  
• Proven track record of delivering global ERP implementations, migrations, or major platform transformations in multinational organisations.
  
• Strong experience with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Business Central, or comparable ERP-class systems.
  
• Demonstrated success managing multi-country deployments, ideally across 20 or more countries.
  
• Extensive experience establishing and operating project or programme governance, including executive steering forums.
  
• Proven ability to influence, challenge, and align difficult stakeholders at senior executive level.
  
• Strong financial management knowledge and experience working with Finance-led business processes and business-critical systems.
  
• Experience managing system integrators, external vendors, contracts, budgets, and cross-functional delivery teams.
  
• Strong knowledge of risk, issue, dependency, quality, change, and benefits management.
  
• Project or programme management certification, such as PMP, PRINCE2, or PgMP, is preferred.
  



Personal skills you excel in:

• Exceptional executive communication, influencing, negotiation, and presentation skills.
  
• Strong leadership presence and confidence in challenging, high-pressure stakeholder environments.
  
• Highly structured, organised, and detail-oriented, with strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
  
• Resilient, pragmatic, and comfortable leading through ambiguity, competing priorities, and organisational change.
  
• Able to build trust and drive accountability across cultures, countries, functions, and time zones.
  
• Collaborative and value-focused, with a strong commitment to delivery excellence and measurable business outcomes.
