Senior Project Manager ERP

As Senior Project Manager for Business Applications and ERP at Destinus, you own the projects that shape how the company runs: ERP, finance, operations and other business platforms used across the organization. These are complex, cross functional programs that touch many departments and process owners at once, often delivered together with implementation partners. You plan and drive them end to end, from business requirements and process design through implementation, data migration, cut-over, go-live and hypercare, and you make sure the knowledge behind every decision and configuration stays in the company. 

Destinus is a fast-scaling, multi-site aerospace company where reliable delivery and clean business processes are essential.
