We are Hazel Seybert Consulting - A boutique consulting firm dedicated to helping leaders and their teams transform their business, particularly in the area of project management.
We have an immediate need for a high-tenacity Technical Project Manager with a heavy emphasis on legacy system decoupling and SAP S/4HANA integration. You will be responsible for managing a specialized workstream of developers tasked with migrating from a legacy platform to SAP. The goal of this project is to "pull out" the ERP and Order Entry capabilities and move them to SAP S/4HANA while leaving the Warehouse Management (WMS) functionality inside the legacy system for the time being.
Ideally, we are looking for a candidate with deep tactical PM experience in software development lifecycles (SDLC) and API-led integrations. You must be a "firm but fair" driver who can provide rigorous structure to a highly talented but scattered development team, ensuring that critical data mapping and code builds are completed without delaying the enterprise-wide go-live.
What You'll Do:..
The PM will work closely with the Program Leadership and the internal Development Team, ensuring high-quality system integration and execution. This role will be expected to ensure:
Process Engineering & ITSM Deployment: Evaluate current development workflows and identify/deploy an ITSM platform or framework (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps, or Monday.com) to provide absolute visibility into sprints, backlogs, and resource capacity.
Project Governance: Manage the development workstream, maintain a rigorous schedule, and hold internal subject matter experts (SMEs) accountable to deadlines.
Project Management: Maintain the "source of truth" for the workstream’s health, including rigorous tracking of code sprints, technical decision logs, and milestone completion.
Integration Accountability: Guide and monitor the development team as they decouple ERP functions from the legacy J-Base system while ensuring Warehouse Management (WMS) stability.
Data Mapping: Act as the lead facilitator for data mapping between legacy "green screen" systems and SAP S/4HANA; ensure "data continuity" so that no business signals are lost during transition.
Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify and "raise the red flag" regarding technical bottlenecks or resource distractions before they impact the 2026/2027 go-live date.
Ideal Project Manager Profile:
Experience: Proven expertise in managing technical workstreams and implementing development lifecycle processes.
Leadership Style: Confident rigor – secure enough to hold senior developers and SMEs accountable to their timelines while remaining a supportive partner.
Communication: A diplomatic "truth-teller" who can surface technical delays early to program leadership while maintaining strong working relationships with the dev team.
Work Style: A "cat-herder" with a bias for action. You thrive in complex environments where technical teams are pulled in multiple directions and require a singular point of focus and a structured ITSM process to drive progress.
Key Traits: Comfortable with necessary conflict to maintain project velocity. Thinks in terms of scalable processes and sustainable change management.
Required Experience:
Situational Experience: Must be able to provide examples of serving as a primary PM for a technical workstream and implementing a project management tool or ITSM software from scratch
7-10 years in Technical Project Management, SDLC Management, or IT Consulting.
Strong expertise in API-led integrations and managing data mapping between legacy platforms and modern ERPs.
Strong command of Hybrid Methodologies: Ability to manage Agile/Sprint-based development within a larger Waterfall program structure.
Technical Tooling: Experience identifying and configuring tools like Jira, Azure DevOps (ADO), or Monday.com to track high-velocity development tasks.
Industry Experience: Experience in Parts Distribution, Residential/Commercial business services, or Warehouse Management Systems is a significant plus.
