Job Description

We are seeking a senior Head of ERP Integration to lead our ERP integration capability across a varied client portfolio. Our clients operate in complex, asset-intensive sectors such as energy, utilities and rail, and engage us at different stages of their ERP journey, from early integration strategy through to large-scale transformation and optimisation.

This role focuses on setting direction, guiding clients through complexity, and ensuring ERP integrations deliver real operational and business outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

ERP Integration Leadership

• Define and lead the organisation’s approach to ERP integration across multiple platforms and client contexts.
• Establish pragmatic integration principles, governance, and delivery standards that scale across varying levels of complexity.

Client Advisory

• Act as a senior trusted advisor on ERP integration strategy, architecture, and roadmap decisions.
• Engage effectively with senior client stakeholders to align ERP integration choices with operational realities and business priorities.

Delivery Oversight

• Provide senior oversight across ERP integration programmes to ensure clarity of scope, sound architectural decisions, and effective risk management.
• Support teams in navigating legacy systems, phased implementations, and mixed ERP landscapes.

Commercial & Practice Contribution

• Support business development by shaping credible, outcome-led ERP integration propositions.
• Contribute to the growth and maturity of the ERP integration capability in line with client demand.

Leadership

• Lead and mentor senior consultants and integration leads.
• Promote consistent delivery quality and professional standards across the practice.

Requirements

• Significant experience leading ERP integration initiatives within a consultancy, systems integrator, or SaaS-enabled services environment.
• Strong understanding of ERP integration challenges, including middleware, data migration, legacy coexistence, and operational cutover.
• Experience working with complex or regulated industries (e.g. energy, utilities, transport, infrastructure).
• Comfortable operating across multiple ERP platforms (e.g. SAP, Oracle, Maximo), without being tied to a single product.
• Proven ability to engage senior stakeholders and influence strategic decisions.

Benefits

• Competitive salary package commensurate with experience.
• Extensive health and wellness benefits.
• Flexible working arrangements to foster work-life balance.
• Opportunities for professional development to accelerate career progression.
• An engaging and innovative work culture.
