Director, ERP at Comoto — Philadelphia, PA

You are a seasoned ERP leader (JDE) who is equally experienced on fulfillment center floor, Accounting & Finance leadership team, and in the executive suite. You lead with metrics and structure; you know JD Edwards deeply across both fulfillment and financials, and you are forward-looking about where the platform, the cloud, and AI are heading.

You will own the full JDE application portfolio — everything connected to or embedded in JDE — and lead the team and partners that deliver it:

• The JDE platform & ecosystem — fulfillment (RFSmart, Parcel / shipping, QC Software, warehouse robotics), financials and AP (ScanMan, K-RISE and related), integrations, orchestration, and the surrounding supporting applications.
• The JDE team — functional / business analysts, developers, and finance analysts reporting to you directly.
• End-to-end delivery — JDE projects, enhancements, and support, run with tollgate discipline and clear delivery metrics.
• The vendor ecosystem — managed-service and delivery partners for CNC, DBA, project delivery, and monitoring, governed through clear SOWs and healthy competitive tension.
• Key partnerships — Systems Operations / IT (production, CNC, and the cloud / OCI roadmap run in close partnership), Accounting & Finance, and Fulfillment Center leadership.

Our First Director, ERP Will:

• Own strategy & roadmap — set the JDE strategy and roadmap with key Business stakeholders; translate business priorities into a sequenced, ROI-cased plan aligned with executive leadership.
• Be the accountable owner and face of JDE to the business, the executive team, and externally — one voice for strategy, delivery, and support.
• Lead and develop the team — set clear role expectations, coach the function, restore the embedded fulfillment-center support model, and build bench strength.
• Install delivery discipline — charter → business-requirements sign-off → solution design → estimates → structured execution → plan-vs-actual tracking, with delivery metrics and spend visibility on every initiative.
• Run projects like a business — ROI-cased, leadership-aligned, and delivered through governed, fixed-price partner engagements where it makes sense, while keeping requirements, context, and platform knowledge in-house.
• Own solutioning across fulfillment and financials / AP — partner with Accounting & Finance in its own language on AP modernization and financial processes, and with the FCs on fulfillment optimization.
• Establish governance & compliance — configuration, change-management, documentation, validation, auditability, and access controls consistent with PCI / SOC 2 and internal standards.
• Remove key-person risk — convert solo dependencies into governed, trainable, resilient managed services, and expand the managed-service model.
• Drive the modernization & cloud roadmap — sequence JDE modernization, the OCI cloud migration, AI / automation, and integration modernization

This is not a step-up role. We are looking for a leader who already operates at the Director level or above and has personally led a JDE / ERP function through a transformation like this one — building delivery discipline, enhancing the operating model, and helping achieve business outcomes. You have done this before and can do it again from day one.

Our Director, ERP Has:

• 16+ years of ERP experience, including deep, current hands-on and leadership experience with Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne (10+ years JDE).
• 5+ years leading teams at the Manager / Director level — currently operating at Director level or above.
• Proven track record leading ERP transformations — has personally led two or more end-to-end ERP / JDE transformation or organizational-restructuring initiatives (operating-model, delivery discipline, or major program), with measurable results.
• Deep JDE domain expertise across both fulfillment/distribution and financials / AP — not one or the other; strong on the modules that run our business (distribution, inventory, warehouse, financials / AP).
• End-to-end JDE depth — Projects, Support, and CNC knowledge; able to run JDE as a self-contained function.
• Vendor-management strength — highly experienced managing JDE partners and managed-service engagements, including SOWs and delivery accountability.
• A metrics-driven operator — owns, manages, and reports delivery metrics and spend as a genuine strength, not an afterthought.
• AI-forward and integration-savvy — fluent in JDE integration tooling (Orchestrator / AIS and related) and JDE’s limitations, and active in the AI space around ERP.

Preferred Qualifications

• Retail, powersports, or high-volume distribution, multi-brand experience.
• JDE 9.2 and cloud migration (OCI) experience
• Experience operating in a PCI / SOC 2 environment and with international/multicurrency operations.
• Enterprise-grade third-party tools that assist in the JDE ecosystem
• Master’s Degree/MBA
• Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne certification
