Our interim ERP project managers have full responsibility for ERP implementations, system migrations, and release rollouts—from requirements gathering and stakeholder management through to go-live acceptance. They deliver concrete deliverables: project structure plans, risk registers, test plans, change request logs, and status reports for management and the steering committee. Companies benefit from experienced leadership without a lengthy onboarding period and without incurring permanent fixed costs.
Typical scenarios for engagement include stalled SAP or Microsoft Dynamics projects, the sudden absence of internal project leadership, upcoming go-live phases with elevated risk potential, as well as carve-outs and post-merger integrations requiring the consolidation of ERP systems. The sooner an experienced ERP project manager is brought on board, the lower the risk of budget overruns and schedule delays.

These profiles provide you with leadership, structure, and clear decision-making processes within the program. The focus is on predictable implementation: scope, budget, resources, and risks are consistently managed. This ensures that obstacles are resolved early and delivery commitments are reliable.
Our experts bring proven process models for greenfield, brownfield, and template rollouts. They establish governance, integrated project controlling, and end-to-end planning across processes, data, and interfaces. This makes dependencies visible and ensures go-live decisions are sound.
Using our profiles, you can translate business requirements into actionable work packages for internal teams and implementation partners. The project manager facilitates the “fit-to-standard” process, prioritizes requirements, and prevents scope creep. At the same time, they ensure that acceptance testing, training, and hypercare are properly organized.

An ERP project manager is responsible for planning and managing an ERP project from initialization through stabilization after go-live. They coordinate functional areas, IT, and implementation partners, ensure decisions regarding governance, and conduct integrated monitoring of scope, budget, risks, and dependencies. In addition, they consistently organize testing, data migration, cutover, and change management.
The need often arises when an ERP project enters a critical phase: replanning, vendor changes, UAT bottlenecks, or go-live delays. Typical signs include unclear responsibilities, numerous change requests without prioritization, a lack of cutover readiness, or conflicting status reports. With these profiles, you can quickly establish leadership, transparency, and reliable delivery commitments.
Key requirements include robust project management (traditional/hybrid), stakeholder management up to the C-suite level, and experience with fit-to-standard, testing, and data migration. Common tools include Jira/Confluence or Azure DevOps, MS Project/Smartsheet, and BI analytics for project KPIs. Certifications such as PRINCE2, PMI/PMP, or IPMA are helpful; in practice, demonstrable ERP rollout experience (e.g., SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics 365, or Oracle ERP) is also important.
An ERP project manager bears overall responsibility for planning, resources, budget, risks, dependencies, and meeting milestones. An ERP solution architect primarily designs the target architecture, solution components, integrations, and technical standards. With these profiles, the project manager focuses on “How do we go live on schedule?”, while the solution architect ensures “How is the solution built?”
Typical deliverables include an integrated project plan—comprising milestones, a resource plan, and the critical path—as well as a governance framework with reporting and escalation procedures. In addition, there is a RAID log (Risks/Assumptions/Issues/Dependencies), decision-making and change request processes, as well as testing and cutover plans, including acceptance criteria. After go-live, they provide hypercare planning, KPI tracking, and measures to stabilize operations.
The daily rate for an ERP project manager ranges from €900 to €1,300. The specific rate depends, among other factors, on the program size, scope of responsibility (single-stream vs. full program), international scope, and the specific ERP suite. With these profiles, you’ll receive a transparent assessment of seniority levels and the appropriate setup before the project begins.
