Description
Our client is a fast-growing Quebec-based manufacturing SME, well known for the quality of its products, its entrepreneurial spirit, and its people-first culture. As the company begins an ambitious digital transformation, it is looking to structure its IT project management practices and professionalize the execution of its technology initiatives, particularly the implementation of a new ERP system.
We are looking for an experienced ERP project management consultant capable of stepping in early, structuring processes, guiding execution, and delivering complex projects in a minimally structured environment.

The role is both strategic and hands-on, with a high level of autonomy and the opportunity to make your mark from the very first weeks.
