Robert Half is exclusively representing our client in the appointment of an experienced Project Manager to join their IT function and play a key role in a major ERP transformation programme.

For at least the first year, the primary focus of the role will be the successful delivery of a NetSuite ERP implementation, working alongside the ERP Programme Lead and a range of internal stakeholders, implementation partners and third-party suppliers.

As a result, candidates with previous NetSuite implementation or transformation experience are particularly encouraged to apply. Equally, we would be interested in strong ERP Project Managers who have delivered other major ERP platforms and have the project leadership skills to take ownership of a NetSuite implementation.

Reporting to the Chief Information Officer, you will be responsible for project planning, governance, reporting, stakeholder coordination and business change activities, ensuring the implementation remains on track and that risks, issues and dependencies are effectively managed.

The Role

You will take ownership of key projects, workstreams and sub-projects within the wider ERP programme, with an initial focus on the NetSuite implementation.

Key responsibilities will include:

Leading and coordinating project activity throughout the NetSuite implementation lifecycle.
Developing, maintaining and monitoring detailed project plans, milestones, dependencies and deliverables.
Managing project budgets, forecasts and resource requirements.
Owning and maintaining RAID logs, driving appropriate mitigation and resolution of risks, issues and dependencies.
Preparing and presenting project status reports, Steering Committee packs and executive-level updates.
Coordinating delivery across internal teams, implementation partners and third-party vendors.
Managing assigned workstreams and sub-projects, ensuring alignment with wider ERP programme objectives.
Supporting business readiness through stakeholder engagement, change management and user adoption activities.
Monitoring progress against agreed actions and managing escalations where required.
Coordinating internal resource allocation and workload planning across project teams.
Developing and delivering project communications, including stakeholder updates and regular programme communications.
Supporting scope definition, requirements gathering and delivery planning with business and technical stakeholders.
Ensuring appropriate project governance, documentation and reporting standards are maintained throughout the implementation.

About You

We are looking for an experienced Project Manager with a proven track record of delivering ERP, technology or business transformation projects.

NetSuite experience would be highly advantageous, particularly experience of working on a NetSuite implementation, rollout or significant transformation programme.

You will ideally bring:

Proven experience delivering ERP, technology or business transformation projects.
NetSuite implementation experience is highly desirable.
Strong project planning, governance and budget management experience.
Experience managing third-party vendors, implementation partners and suppliers.
The ability to manage multiple workstreams and stakeholders simultaneously.
Strong communication skills, including experience producing reports and presentations for senior leadership and Steering Committees.
Experience supporting organisational change and user adoption initiatives.
Excellent organisational and prioritisation skills, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines effectively.
A proactive, structured and results-focused approach to project delivery.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with confidence engaging stakeholders at all levels.

Why Apply?

This is a significant ERP transformation project where you will have genuine ownership and visibility across the business.

The first year will be heavily focused on the NetSuite implementation, making this an excellent opportunity for an experienced NetSuite Project Manager or ERP Project Manager looking to take ownership of a major implementation.

Beyond the initial implementation phase, the role will continue to support wider technology, transformation and business change initiatives, providing the successful candidate with the opportunity to build a long-term project portfolio within the organisation.

The role is based in Ipswich and will be predominantly onsite, with some flexibility around working from home.
