Description

Overview ERP Deployment Director – D365 Contract Role UK/Europe Remote Role Overview The ERP Deployment Director is a pivotal leadership role within Morgan’s Highlander Programme. It will report to Morgan’s Finance Transformation Director, the aim being to ensure that deployment and change management activities are closely aligned and delivered to our business units as a single cohesive programme. The programme is critical to the Company’s digital and financial aspirations and both the CEO and CFO are actively involved in supporting the programme as a result. Morgan Advanced Materials is a global materials science and application engineering company headquartered in Windsor, UK. Morgan is a world leader in advanced materials science specialising in the engineering of ceramics and carbon. The company operates in a series of well-defined markets where its application expertise offers its customers a valuable differentiator via the manufacture of high-specification materials, components and sub-assembly parts that solve their challenging technical problems. The company operates in the Industrial, Transportation, Petrochemical, Energy, Semiconductor, Healthcare and Defence markets. Many of Morgan’s products are required to perform critical functions in harsh or demanding environments. Morgan employs approximately 8,000 people and has a significant operational presence in all the world’s major regions, with 57 manufacturing sites across 30 countries, serving customers in over 100 countries. The company is organised in three global segments: Thermal Products, Technical Ceramics and Performance Carbon. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 index. Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&SCM has been selected as Morgan’s ERP system to replace a number of older legacy systems. Having nearly completed the configuration and testing phase of the programme, and with deployment at a pilot site also nearly complete, the Company now wishes to implement a rapid roll-out such that, by the end of 2027, the refreshed ERP will form the basis of an ambitious digital transformation. A Programme Director with broad ERP experience was recruited in early 2024 to establish the programme, then lead system design and configuration. As we approach the roll-out phase, we wish to appoint a Deployment Director with in depth deployment expertise to take over from the Programme Director in early 2026 and oversee the next phase. Responsibilities Key Responsibilities Lead the end-to-end deployment of the D365 F&SCM solution across multiple business units and manufacturing sites in Europe, the USA, and Asia, following the established roadmap for phased rollouts. Ensure all deployments are delivered on time and in accordance with the agreed programme roadmap, proactively managing risks and dependencies to maintain schedule integrity. Take full accountability for programme budget management in collaboration with the Finance Transformation Director and Group Finance, ensuring all activities are executed within approved financial parameters and delivering value for investment. Report directly to the Finance Transformation Director and collaborate closely with business stakeholders, Change Business Partners, and the Transformation Team to ensure business readiness, effective change management, training, and communications. Accountable for continuous improvements to the deployment process through the incorporation of lessons learned from previous deployments and consultations with executive and business stakeholders. Accountable for the overall scoping, build, and data ETL cycles, ensuring that all sites in scope for upcoming deployments are prepared and aligned with programme objectives. Drive governance across three key towers: solution readiness, data readiness, and business readiness, ensuring that all aspects of the deployment meet Morgan’s standards and strategic goals. Foster a culture of collaboration and accountability within a diverse, cross-functional team, including technical, process, data, and change management leads. Organizational Context The Deployment Director reports to the Finance Transformation Director and is supported by a Transformation Team established in 2025, which includes Change Business Partners dedicated to business readiness and change management. The role is central to the Highlander & Transformation Leadership Team, working alongside Global Process Directors, Deployment Managers, Solution Managers, and other key stakeholders. The Programme’s governance structure emphasizes readiness at every stage, from solution build to business adoption, leveraging best practices and insights from previous rollouts. Qualifications Key Skills & Experience At least 15-years ERP Delivery management experience. Proven track record in leading large-scale ERP deployments, preferably with Microsoft Dynamics D365 or similar platforms with experience of Global ERP in Manufacturing. Strong leadership and stakeholder management skills, with experience in global, multi-site Programme delivery. Expertise in change management, business readiness, and cross-functional team leadership. Demonstrated ability to deliver complex programmes on time and within budget.
