Your Job
Brooks is replacing on-premises Infor M3 13.4 with Infor CloudSuite for Fashion, the platform supporting how the company plans, sources, sells, ships and reports. Other business-enabling initiatives depend on this program’s pace and success, making its delivery critical to Brooks’ roadmap.

The Principal ERP Program Manager leads this multi-year implementation with Infor as systems integrator and reports to the Director, Enterprise Solutions. Implementation kicks off in late 2026. Build on the established governance, team and partner structures, refining rather than restarting, and proactively complete the integrated plan, detailed budget, resourcing model and operating practices needed for delivery.

This highly visible role combines hands-on leadership with principal-level judgment. In this role, you represent the program at steering committee and executive levels, lead Senior Project Managers across workstreams and regions, and partner with Infor’s program delivery governance team. You bring evidence-based recommendations, anticipate cross-workstream impacts, and engage the right stakeholders with clear decision ownership.
 
As the Principal ERP Program Manager, you build and defend credible budget, resource and timeline estimates, supported by detailed analysis and validated against ERP delivery experience and current program risks. You own the commitments, support the assumptions and flag changes early.

Following go-live and hypercare, this role retains ownership of release governance, the enhancement roadmap, new-region expansion, new enterprise capabilities, and AI-powered productivity through Brooks’ Infor Velocity Suite investment.
