ERP Implementation Leader

Heritage-Holding is hiring a central ERP Implementation Leader to own and drive ERP implementations across our portfolio of companies. Rather than each company reinventing the wheel, you'll be the shared, go-to resource who brings a repeatable playbook to every rollout, scoping the work, running the project, managing outside implementation partners, and making sure each system actually delivers cleaner financials and better reporting for the business and its investors. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who has personally led ERP implementations many times before and knows where they go wrong. It's finance-led, not IT-led: your job is clean books, reliable reporting, and systems that scale, not technology for its own sake. We're open to filling this as a full-time hire or a fractional engagement (~20 hours/week) for the right person.
