ERP Programme Manager (Contract)
Local Government | Enterprise Transformation | £Multi-Year Programme
A Council is embarking on one of its most significant digital transformation programmes: the delivery of a single, enterprise-wide ERP platform spanning Finance, HR, Payroll and Procurement.
This role offers a rare opportunity to lead a flagship public‑sector ERP programme end‑to‑end, shaping how a major local authority operates for the next decade.
Panoramic Associates are seeking an exceptional ERP Programme Manager with a proven track record of delivering complex, multi‑supplier ERP programmes at scale.
Overview
* End‑to‑end leadership of a large, high‑impact ERP programme, from procurement through implementation, go‑live and benefits realisation
* Full accountability for delivery, governance, risk and supplier performance
* Influence at the highest levels, working closely with Executive Sponsors, Programme Board, senior officers and delivery partners
* A long‑term contract aligned to a multi‑year roadmap, offering continuity, challenge, and tangible legacy
This is not a recovery or BAU role. It is a greenfield‑style transformation, where strategic judgement and delivery discipline are equally critical.
What You'll Need To Demonstrate
* Senior ERP delivery leadership experience (Programme Manager / Programme Director)
* Proven success delivering large‑scale ERP implementations, ideally within local government or complex public‑sector environments
* Deep understanding of Finance, HR, Payroll and Procurement operating models
* Strong governance mindset, balanced with pragmatism and pace
* Experience leading multi‑supplier ecosystems (ERP vendor, SI, implementation partner)
* Credibility at Board level with the ability to translate strategy into executable delivery
Why This Role Stands Out
* True ownership: clear accountability, authority, and executive backing
* Scale & complexity: enterprise systems, regulatory context, and organisational change
* Purpose‑driven delivery: technology transformation that directly supports frontline public services
* Professional respect: a role designed for senior leaders, not micromanagement
Contract Details
* Contract role (IR35 status subject to determination)
* Long‑term engagement aligned to programme milestones
* Hybrid working with regular on‑site engagement
If you are a senior ERP leader who thrives on complexity, governance, and delivering outcomes that matter, this programme will stretch and reward you in equal measure.
