Sourced information technology context
Software, data processing, and business support: ERP Project Manager
Charlotte's city-hosted Target Cluster Opportunity Analysis defines information technology to include software publishing, data processing and hosting, computer systems design, office administration, and business support services. Translate the operating context into workstreams, process owners, milestones, acceptance evidence, and constraints on outages or business calendars. Ask how unresolved decisions are surfaced and closed. A technology role may support a product, hosting operation, client delivery team, or internal business function, each with different data rights and production duties.
Evidence to request: Review an ERP plan or RAID log with workstreams, dependencies, owners, dates, decision gates, and measurable acceptance criteria. Define the customer, service boundary, data handled, deployment authority, support target, commercial obligation, and acceptance measure.
Sourced logistics and distribution context
Freight, warehouse, and transport records: ERP Project Manager
The Charlotte analysis defines logistics and distribution across air, road, rail, freight arrangement, delivery, and warehousing activities. Set dependencies among the ERP, source systems, interfaces, reports, identity, data loads, testing cycles, sites, and vendors. Require a comparable example where the critical path changed. Distribution systems must align orders, inventory, capacity, carriers, locations, status events, exceptions, and billing while physical goods remain in motion.
Evidence to request: Use a conversion, integration, or testing failure and score triage, ownership, options, schedule effect, and closure evidence. Map the order or shipment lifecycle, transport modes, warehouse handoffs, partner messages, peak volumes, exception queue, reconciliation, and after-hours ownership.
Sourced headquarters and enterprise operations context
Shared services across business units: ERP Project Manager
A 2026 City of Charlotte economic-development update reports that nineteen Fortune 1000 companies have headquarters in the region and describes an ecosystem of executive leadership, professional services, and global connections. Define budget, schedule, risk, quality, readiness, and stabilization controls. Candidates should explain forecasting, escalation, test exit, go-live approval, rollback, and support handoff. Headquarters systems can span legal entities, business units, shared services, acquisitions, approval chains, reporting calendars, and identity rules under several process owners.
Evidence to request: Ask for a cutover or deployment the manager led, including prerequisites, command structure, validation, business communication, and stabilization. Set the entities and functions in scope, system authorities, consolidation rules, approval design, reporting deadlines, integration boundaries, and cutover decision maker.
