What We’re Looking For
Required
5+ years of experience with ERP systems, with hands-on P21 / Epicor experience strongly preferred
Strong understanding of distribution or industrial business processes (order management, procurement, inventory, service)
Demonstrated ability to design and document business processes that produce clean, structured data
Experience working across multiple business units or subsidiaries with varying levels of process maturity
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and working without a large team beneath you
Preferred
Experience with ERP cloud migrations (lift-and-shift or re-implementation)
Familiarity with data pipelines, analytics platforms (e.g., Power BI, Prism), or data governance concepts
Prior experience at a fluid power, industrial distribution, or manufacturing company
How This Role Fits
The Process Manager reports into Applied Fluid Power’s Data & AI function and coordinates closely with IT, Finance, and subsidiary operations leadership. It works in tandem with the Data Manager — who owns governance standards and the business data framework — while this role owns the ERP-side execution of those standards.
This is a foundational hire. You won’t have a large team, but you’ll have executive visibility, meaningful scope, and the ability to shape how Applied Fluid Power’s operational data infrastructure evolves over the next three years.
