The situation

Strong growth, a US owner, and spreadsheets where an ERP should be

Our client is a premium manufacturer of high-value, configure-to-order products, with its main production site in north-eastern Poland. It has grown strongly in recent years and is now part of a US industrial group. Each order carries customer-specific options.

Growth has outpaced the systems. Several legacy finance and payroll tools sit side by side, and parts of production planning still live in spreadsheets. The group is now moving its European entities onto Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. The approach is deliberate: one common design is agreed up front, entities and modules then go live in stages, and time for testing and training is ring-fenced. A tier-1 system integrator carries out the implementation, while a Global Process Owner is responsible for how the processes are designed.

The company now needs an experienced Interim Programme Director on its own side of the table: accountable for delivery week by week, and the independent check on the integrator.

Your mandate

Own the programme on the company side and keep the integrator honest

As Interim ERP Program Director you lead the European rollout on the company side, from the common design through each staged go-live and the stabilisation period that follows. You report to the company’s Accountable Executive and sit alongside the integrator’s programme manager and the programme lead for the US business as an equal. Most of your time is spent on site in north-eastern Poland with the local process owners and key users, working in Polish and English, with regular travel within Europe and occasional trips to the United States. CE Interim, a leader in cross-cultural executive interim management, leads this mandate.

Chair the weekly programme meeting and the change board, keep the plan, responsibilities and risk log current, and bring hard evidence to every go/no-go decision
Own a detailed plan with named owners and costs, manage the critical path and dependencies, and secure backfill where key people are stretched
Plan jointly with the integrator, accept work only against agreed deliverables, link payments to milestones, and keep statements of work and change requests under control
Bring the local process owners and key users together on site, and treat Polish statutory and localisation requirements (JPK_VAT, SAF-T) as a condition for cutover
Agree with process and data owners in which order today’s finance, payroll and planning tools are switched off or connected
Speak to plant and office teams in their own language, send the sponsor a fortnightly update, and work with the change lead so that people actually use the new system
Follow programme spend in EUR and USD together with Finance, keep the business case up to date, and close the programme with a value report and a clean audit trail

Rezultate preconizate

Success is a live, adopted ERP and a business case that still holds

Success means the company runs on one ERP, its people use it, and the investment case can be defended to the US group.

A signed-off global blueprint and a credible, resourced plan within the first months
Every phase gate passed on evidence, with go-lives delivered as planned and hypercare closed
Polish statutory reporting (JPK_VAT, SAF-T) live and compliant at cutover
Legacy tools and planning spreadsheets taken out of daily use, with clean data in the new system
The integrator managed to its deliverables and milestones, with change orders under control
Programme cost tracked in EUR and USD and the business case maintained throughout
A value-realisation report and an auditable closeout handed to the sponsor

The Interim Manager we look for

A seasoned ERP programme leader who has burned his or her fingers before

A high-drive, results-minded ERP and programme management executive who knows what good looks like, and who has been through full implementations from the client side.

Eight or more years delivering IT or business systems, with at least five spent running ERP programmes or projects
Has led two or more ERP implementations from design to stabilisation, one or more of them on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations
Has directed a tier-1 or Big Four integrator from the client side, with a firm grip on vendors, data and processes
Understands discrete or configure-to-order manufacturing: bills of material, engineering changes, purchasing, stock and production
Has rolled out ERP across several EU entities and countries, including Polish statutory reporting (JPK, SAF-T) or an equivalent
Plans by deliverables, runs a critical path and resource plan, and keeps change, risk and the programme budget under tight control
A structured leader and natural people person: assertive, practical, sleeves-up, and able to make it happen
Comfortable between a US owner and a Polish operation: an influencer and stakeholder manager across countries and cultures
Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in technology, business or equivalent

Your fit

This mandate is for a hands-on D365 programme director fluent in Polish and English

Fluent Polish and fluent English: both are required
Hands-on leadership of at least one Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations implementation
Client-side programme leadership of a tier-1 or Big Four integrator
Based in the EU with the right to work in Poland, contracting on a B2B basis
Able to work on site in north-eastern Poland most of the week, with travel within Europe and occasionally to the United States
Available to start immediately for 18 months

Track record

Show us the programmes you have personally led

Please provide specific examples of programmes you have personally led, covering:

The ERP programmes you led: system, modules, number of entities and countries, budget and team size
Your role versus the integrator’s: how you planned, accepted deliverables and controlled change orders
A go-live you owned: the phase gates, the cutover and what happened in hypercare
The statutory and localisation work you delivered, in Poland or a comparable country
How you drove adoption with plant and office staff, and in which languages
How you reported to an owner or sponsor abroad, and how you tracked the business case

Priority will go to Interim Managers who have led a Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations rollout in a Polish manufacturing environment in recent years.

De ce CE Interim

Why work with CE Interim on a cross-border ERP programme between the USA and Poland

CE Interim Management Group provides cross-border executive leadership for critical business transformations. For ERP programmes in manufacturing companies, we manage the assignment end to end, from the first weeks of governance set-up to an auditable closeout handed back to the sponsor. For our clients, that means a proven, mandate-matched executive ready to start within 72 hours of the completed mandate brief.

What sets us apart is leadership across borders and cultures. When a US owner integrates a European manufacturer, expectations on pace, reporting and decision rights rarely line up by default. Our Interim Managers bridge the two: they run the programme with Polish teams in their own language, and report the way an American group needs to see it. CE Interim has led many ERP implementations in Poland, including for US-owned companies.

Fiecare misiune este coordonată personal de un partener interim al CE: foști directori generali, directori financiari și directori operaționali care au deținut ei înșiși funcții de conducere. În calitate de membru al Valtus Alliance, cea mai mare alianță mondială de firme de management interimar la nivel executiv, colaborăm cu peste 100 de parteneri în peste 50 de țări de intervenție, beneficiind de o rețea globală de peste 60.000 de manageri interimari.
