Description
The ERP SME will support one of the scrum teams operating within a large-scale modernization project for a Federal enterprise platform. This role is best suited for a senior functional/techno-functional ERP professional with strong experience in PeopleSoft, enterprise business processes, system modernization, and Agile delivery.
