Key Responsibilities

Own the P21 product roadmap and maintain a prioritized backlog of enhancements, fixes, and process improvements tied to measurable business outcomes such as fill rate, margin, order cycle time, and DSO.

Manage P21 Cloud releases by reviewing Epicor release notes, testing updates in a sandbox, coordinating regression testing, and communicating changes to users.
Improve data quality and reporting through standards for product, customer, supplier, order, and pricing master data, and facilitate BI integration with P21.
Train and support users by creating SOPs and training materials, triaging complex tickets, and identifying root causes in system behavior.
Manage vendors by acting as the primary point of contact for Epicor support, account management, and third-party P21 partners, scoping statements of work and holding partners to delivery expectations.
