Job Description
THE WORK
As the Project & Planning Manager for our ERP/MRP Transformation, you will be the driving force behind Sikorsky's effort to turn its enterprise planning systems into a competitive advantage. You will partner with colleagues across Programs, Operations, Finance, Supply Chain, and IT, taking full ownership of the cost, schedule, and technical performance of improvement initiatives that directly shape how Sikorsky plans, builds, and delivers.
Your responsibilities will include:
Own and maintain the ERP/MRP improvement backlog, prioritizing across functional stakeholders and coordinating the sequencing, resourcing, and disciplined execution of highest-impact changes.
Serve as the primary integrator for Programs, Operations, Finance, Supply Chain, and IT, aligning stakeholders on system-change proposals, ensuring downstream business impacts are fully understood, and preventing siloed decisions that could create larger program problems.
Lead go/no-go assessments for proposed SAP configuration changes, evaluating cost, schedule and technical risk, escalating unresolved issues to senior leadership, and establishing guardrails that protect business continuity throughout the improvement cycle.
Maintain a forward-looking roadmap that sequences near-term optimization actions while preserving alignment with long-horizon system-design requirements, ensuring today's decisions do not foreclose tomorrow's options.
Own communication between the ERP/MRP team, program offices and senior leadership, translating complex system changes into business-relevant cost and schedule language that enables clear executive decision-making and sustained organizational alignment.
Deliver measurable improvements in material availability, schedule adherence, supply-signal accuracy and planning-data quality by driving ERP/MRP configuration improvements and process discipline across the enterprise, turning system capability into tangible operational performance.
WHO YOU ARE
A strategic thinker with strong influencing skills, you are committed to turning enterprise planning systems into a competitive advantage while fostering collaboration, accountability, and operational excellence across the organization. You bring deep expertise in SAP configuration, portfolio management, and cross functional integration, having successfully partnered with Programs, Operations, Finance, Supply Chain, and IT to deliver measurable cost, schedule, and performance gains.
