We’re seeking a highly skilled ERP Specialist with deep experience in Epicor's Prophet 21 to join a tight-knit, tech-savvy team supporting a leading organization in the distribution/manufacturing space. This is a high-visibility role with significant ownership, and the opportunity to shape how the business operates moving forward.
Our client has built a strong foundation over decades and is now entering a phase of modernization and optimization. You’ll be stepping into a key role that directly supports business-critical functions, with access to tribal knowledge from a long-tenured predecessor and a leadership team that values ERP as the backbone of operational success.
This is your chance to step into a hands-on role with influence across departments, from finance and inventory to purchasing and logistics. If you're passionate about ERP systems, data integrity, and business process improvement, this is a rare opportunity to lead change and drive value.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Act as the internal subject matter expert for Prophet 21 (P21) across all departments.
Lead configuration, optimization, and troubleshooting of key modules (order-to-cash, inventory, purchasing, warehouse, finance).
Collaborate with department leaders to translate business needs into P21 workflows, automations, or customizations.
Own reporting, dashboards, and analytics, leveraging SQL and internal P21 tools.
Manage system upgrades, patches, integrations, and support daily user operations.
Provide training and documentation, ensuring end users and leadership can confidently leverage the system.
Maintain data integrity, system security, and access controls.
Partner with the new Controller and broader team to support financial operations and accounting best practices.
What We’re Looking For:
Deep expertise in Prophet 21 ERP, front-end and back-end, daily operations, and technical troubleshooting.
Strong knowledge of order processing, purchasing, inventory, warehouse, and supply chain workflows.
Experience supporting or working alongside finance and accounting teams.
Proven ability to work with SQL Server, build reports, and manage data exports.
Strong attention to detail and a problem-solving mindset, you see issues before others do.
Nice-to-Haves:
Experience with ERP integrations, custom workflows, and third-party systems.
Background in logistics or distribution-based businesses.
Project management or team leadership experience.
Knowledge of accounting principles and cycle counting processes.
The staffing industry has seen an increase in people falsely representing themselves as recruiters to gather personal information from job seekers. For your safety, do not provide sensitive data to anyone you have not spoken with thoroughly, never provide banking information during the application process and always double check the email address of the Recruiter to ensure it’s from an official Planet domain (@theplanetgroup.com or @launchcg.com) - and not a domain with an alternative extension like .net, .org or .jobs.
