ERP Lead - QAD

Warren, NJ

About Spectrum Vascular

Spectrum Vascular is an innovative medical device company focused on vascular access and medication management. Our mission is to improve the lives of patients worldwide by providing caregivers with high quality, innovative products with exceptional customer service. We are a company that was formed through the acquisition of a portfolio of trusted products that have been widely used by customers for decades. Innovation has been a core strategic pillar throughout our history and many of our products have been designed to deliver antimicrobial and antithrombogenic protection or to support certain patient populations such as those who are critically ill and pediatrics. This role represents a unique opportunity to join a dynamic and growing team with established products and an entrepreneurial mindset.

Role Summary

We are seeking an experienced ERP Technical Lead to take ownership of our QAD ERP program at a critical juncture. The incumbent will land into an in-flight implementation nearing its first major go-live in the coming months, drive it to a stable cutover and hypercare close-out, and immediately pivot to lead the next wave of delivery — covering manufacturing modules and the prioritized backlog — targeted for a go-live later in the year.

While direct QAD experience is strongly preferred, candidates with strong end-to-end ERP implementation experience on comparable platforms (SAP, Oracle EBS/Fusion, Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O, Infor, IFS, Epicor, NetSuite, etc.), particularly in manufacturing environments, will also be considered. The expectation is that a seasoned ERP technical leader can ramp up on QAD specifics quickly and bring proven delivery discipline to the program. This is a hands-on technical leadership role requiring deep functional/technical depth, solution ownership, and close collaboration with business, IT, and the system integrator.

Key Responsibilities

Driving the Current Implementation to Go-Live

• Take immediate technical ownership of the active delivery, including solution design, configuration decisions, and cutover readiness from current state through go-live.

• Lead the final stretch of UAT, data migration dry runs, cutover rehearsals, and go/no-go technical decisions.

• Work alongside the system integrator (SI) and internal team to hold technical timelines, scope, and quality.

• Own hypercare post go-live: defect triage, P1/P2 resolution, business stabilization, and transition to steady-state support.

Leading the Next Wave – Manufacturing & Backlog

• Define and lead the technical roadmap for the next delivery wave, covering Manufacturing modules (Shop Floor Control, Work Orders, Routings, BOMs, MRP, Capacity Planning, Inventory) and carried-over backlog items.

• Own the solution architecture, design decisions, and technical resource model for the next wave.

• Lead requirements workshops with manufacturing, planning, supply chain, and finance stakeholders; sign off on solution design, gaps, and customizations.

• Drive build, configuration, integration (MES, WMS, finance, EDI as applicable), testing cycles (SIT, UAT, performance), data migration, training, and cutover.

• Lead go-live readiness reviews and hypercare through stabilization.

Cross-Cutting Technical Leadership

• Single point of technical accountability to the program sponsor and steering committee for ERP delivery.

• Provide technical direction to SI partners, internal functional consultants, developers, and business SMEs.

• Own program-level technical risks, dependencies, and change requests.

• Establish and enforce delivery standards: design documentation, test evidence, cutover playbooks, and post-go-live technical KPIs.

• Coach and mentor internal team to build long-term ERP capability.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of ERP implementation experience, with significant time in technical lead roles.

• Hands-on experience with at least one Tier-1 or Tier-2 ERP platform — QAD strongly preferred; alternatively SAP (ECC/S4), Oracle EBS/Fusion, Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O, Infor (LN/M3/CSI), IFS, Epicor, or NetSuite in a manufacturing context.

• At least two end-to-end ERP implementations through go-live in a technical capacity, including at least one in a discrete or process manufacturing environment.

• Strong functional and technical depth in Manufacturing (Shop Floor, MRP, Routings, BOMs, Work Orders, Inventory) plus working knowledge of Finance, Distribution, and Procurement modules — on any major ERP.

• Cutover and hypercare leadership experience for a live ERP go-live in the last 5 years.

• Solid grasp of ERP integration patterns and tooling (APIs, middleware, EDI, reporting/BI). Familiarity with QAD's stack — Progress/OpenEdge, .NET UI, QXtend, Boomi — is a plus; non-QAD candidates should demonstrate the ability to learn it quickly.

• Experience working with system integrators and multi-vendor delivery teams.

• Excellent stakeholder management; comfortable operating from shop floor to C-suite.

Preferred 

• Prior QAD exposure, or experience transitioning from another ERP into QAD.

• Technical or functional certifications in QAD, SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics across Financials, Manufacturing, or Supply Chain.

• Experience in regulated industries (automotive, life sciences, medical devices, food & beverage, industrial).

• Exposure to integrations with MES, WMS, Salesforce, or major EDI partners.

• Experience with ERP upgrades or on-premise to cloud migrations.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
