Randstad Technologies Recruitment
Role : Senior IT SCM Technical Lead / PM Type : Contract for 6months with Potential extension Location: UK & Eu( multi-country, multi-site (travel required Job Description The Opportunity This role sits at the centre of a significant, multi-year supply chain and ERP transformation programme touching Commercial, Manufacturing, and Customer Service & Logistics (CS&L) workstreams across multiple European markets. You will provide senior technical leadership and programme management across the full delivery lifecycle - from design and system migration through to cutover, go-live, and hypercare - while serving as the primary point of accountability between business operations, IT, and third-party delivery partners. This is not a governance or PMO role. We are looking for someone who has lived inside manufacturing and supply chain operations - someone who understands what it means for a system change to affect a production line, a warehouse team, or a customer order - and who has built their transformation career on top of that operational foundation. What You Will Be Doing Manufacturing & Supply Chain Systems Oversee the technical delivery of ERP migration activities, including data migration strategy, master data governance, system integration, and cutover planning. Ensure zero-disruption to manufacturing operations throughout all programme phases - designing cutover windows, downtime protocols, and contingency plans in collaboration with plant operations teams. Coordinate the integration of ERP with warehouse management (WMS/EWM), transport management (TMS), demand planning, and manufacturing execution systems (MES) where applicable. Partner with 3PL providers and logistics partners to ensure their systems and processes are aligned to programme timelines and go-live readiness. Ensure all system changes are compliant with GMP, food safety, and relevant regulatory requirements - particularly in plant and operational environments. About You Important: this role is designed for someone whose career started in manufacturing, plant systems, or supply chain operations and who built their transformation expertise on top of that hands-on foundation. We are not looking for a transformation consultant who has worked with manufacturing clients. The distinction matters - the business needs someone whose operational credibility is visible and real. Your Background You started your career in a hands-on role in manufacturing, plant IT, supply chain systems, or operations - for example as a Manufacturing Engineer, Plant IT Lead, SAP Functional Lead (PP/MM/WM/EWM), Materials Planner, Supply Chain Systems Manager, or similar. Over time you took on broader transformation and programme leadership responsibility - multi-site rollouts, system migrations, business readiness, vendor governance - while retaining the operational credibility that comes from having worked inside a manufacturing environment. You are comfortable walking a factory floor, talking to a plant manager about a cutover window, and then presenting programme status to a Steering Committee in the same week. Your sector background is in FMCG, food & beverage, consumer goods, or regulated manufacturing. You understand the stakes of production disruption, shelf availability, and supply continuity in a way that goes beyond a slide deck. Your Technical Experience Deep working knowledge of SAP ECC and/or S/4HANA - ideally across PP, MM, WM/EWM, SD, or related manufacturing and supply chain modules. Demonstrable experience of ERP platform migration - ideally from SAP ECC to Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O, or another genuine cross-platform migration (not simply a within-SAP version upgrade). If you have done this exact migration, say so clearly in your application. Practical experience with warehouse management (SAP EWM or equivalent WMS), transport management (TMS), and/or demand planning systems alongside core ERP. Understanding of OT/IT convergence in a manufacturing context - how ERP and MES/SCADA systems interact, and what that means for programme risk, testing, and cutover design. Familiarity with master data governance (MDG) and data migration approaches - including data profiling, cleansing, cutover validation, and reconciliation. Experience with GMP, food safety compliance, or equivalent regulated manufacturing frameworks as they relate to IT system changes. Randstad Technologies is acting as an Employment Business in relation to this vacancy.
