- You’ll join AccruePartners as a key consultant supporting a fast-growing, well-established construction and development organization headquartered in the Charlotte metro area. This company has expanded significantly over the past decade and is modernizing its financial, operational, and people systems as part of a broader digital transformation effort.
- Their leadership team is hands-on, collaborative, and committed to building scalable processes that support continued growth. AccruePartners is partnering with them to ensure the ERP transition has the structure, governance, and program discipline required for a successful go-live.
- As a consultant through AccruePartners, you’ll have:
- A high-visibility engagement supporting a mission-critical ERP implementation
- Direct access to senior leadership and decision makers
- An opportunity to build the foundation for an enterprise system expected to support the business for the next decade
- The backing of Accrue’s delivery, PMO, and ERP advisory teams
- Competitive compensation and ongoing support throughout the engagement
- Charlotte, NC – Onsite work required for collaboration, working sessions, and access to functional stakeholders.
- The client is transitioning off a legacy, small-business-oriented platform and implementing a full Sage ERP ecosystem—finance, accounting, HRIS, payroll, and CRM. This move is foundational to their next phase of scale.
- The internal team is lean and highly engaged in day-to-day operations, so they need an experienced ERP Project Manager who can own planning, structure, data readiness, coordination with the integrator, and milestone execution. Without this dedicated PMO oversight, go-live risk is significant given the aggressive timeline (April 1, 2026) and the breadth of functional areas being integrated.
- You will be the force that keeps the implementation on track, on budget, and aligned with the company’s goal of minimizing customization so the system is stable and upgradable for the next 10 to 15 years.
- Lead the end-to-end ERP project plan including scope, timeline, critical path, interdependencies, and risk mitigation
- Drive all readiness efforts: data mapping, data cleanup, conversion sequencing, and validation activities
- Coordinate with Sage and any external integration partners to ensure clarity of deliverables, hours utilization, change requests, and budget tracking
- Facilitate solution design workshops, ensuring the business aligns processes to out-of-the-box capabilities and avoids unnecessary customization
- Create and manage reporting, dashboards, milestone updates, steering committee materials, and status documentation
- Support simulation, UAT, and cutover planning for the March testing window and April go-live
- Work directly with Finance, Accounting, HR, Payroll, and Operations stakeholders to ensure decisions are made on time and risks are escalated appropriately
- Serve as the bridge between the business and technical/integration teams to maintain alignment and prevent scope drift
- Establish governance workflows that support long-term stability, future upgrades, and potential phased rollouts
- 7+ years of ERP project management experience with implementations across Finance/Accounting and cross-functional business units
- Experience managing projects that involve moving from small-business or mid-market accounting platforms to enterprise-class ERPs
- Proven ability to keep timelines, budget, and scope controlled when internal teams have limited bandwidth
- Strong understanding of data readiness, mapping, and conversion best practices
- Background in coordinating with integrators, managing buckets of hours, and proactively controlling project burn
- Exceptional communication skills with the ability to work daily with senior leadership and functional SMEs
- Construction, field-services, project-driven, or similarly operationally intensive industry experience is a plus but not required
- Demonstrated success standardizing processes and implementing low-customization solutions to ensure clean upgrade paths
