Role Overview
We are seeking an elite IT Business Application Carve-out Project Manager to lead the mission-
critical separation of a $100M revenue business unit from a Global 100 parent. This is not a
"maintenance" role; it is a high-speed, high-complexity decoupling and "greenfield" build-out of a
standalone enterprise application stack.
Your initial objective is to lead the organization in developing a detailed plan for the full lifecycle of
ERP implementation across six international sites. The focus will be replacing Oracle Financials
within a compressed 9 12 month timeline while re-building integration with certain legacy applications
that will initially remain in place. Additional ERP operational capabilities will be implemented in year
two. You will own the transition plan from a highly integrated Oracle Financials environment to a right-
sized, independent solution that meets the functional, legal, and regulatory needs of a global $100M
entity.

Key Responsibilities
ERP Strategy & Execution: Lead the end-to-end selection and implementation of a new ERP
including financial and operational modules. You will define the future-state architecture that
replaces the ParentCo s Oracle instance and locally hosted operational applications.
Global Regulatory Compliance: Ensure the new application stack satisfies complex
international reporting and tax requirements, including local statutory reporting in Belgium,
Italy, India, China, and Singapore (e.g., Electronic Invoicing, GST, and Golden Tax
requirements).
Engineering & Ops Continuity: Oversee the planning to "lift and shift" of locally hosted
engineering and manufacturing applications. You must ensure zero downtime for the
production floor during the server migration and decoupling phases.
TSA Negotiation & Exit: Manage the Transition Service Agreement (TSA) lifecycle. You will
track service levels from the ParentCo while aggressively driving the project milestones.
Vendor & Partner Management: Drive the RFP process for both software vendors and their
respective implementation partners.
Cross-Functional HR Alignment: Maintain close coordination with the HR workstream to
ensure the business application roadmap aligns with the cutover to a standalone ADP
instance.
