Perfetti Van Melle is a well known candy company with brands such as Airhead and Mentos. They are migrating from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA in the US and North America. Other regions have already made the migration US would be the third region to make the change. The Director is looking for an experience Project Manger to work with him on the transition. The director does not have experience with such a migration and wants a project manager with experience making this exact transition(ECC to S4/HANA) to help with the migration. He wants a manager that can see around the corner so to speak and foresee pain points and problems before they arise. This project manager would be overseeing a team of 10 people making sure things are going well and handling their problems. It would be beneficial if the PM had experience presenting to Csuite level people. The director will be responsible for that and the PM wont be responsible for presenting to the Csuite but it would be good if he could sit in on the meetings and chime in when helpful.

Notes from talking to the hiring manager:
Im looking for a temporary PMO resource duration roughly 1215 months starting late May or June to assist me in leading an ERP transition from SAP ECC to S4 together with business reinventions. We have already developed the global template of the system setup and best practices with support of a respected external partner and have a global resource team of 40 to manage the operating company release waves. I will lead the local release team (10) for USA & Canada as part of a 5 OC release wave 3. I need a trusted PMO who can challenge where appropriate but still work within a global design template to generate creative solutions to any friction points we do not have freedom to redesign rather we take a standard unless approach and the unless must be material business risk or something with regulatory/compliance challenge.
