About this role
Overview
We are seeking an experienced Senior IT Project Manager to lead the APAC implementation and rollout of Kinaxis, the organization's enterprise supply chain planning platform. This is a 12-month contract opportunity to support a planned transition, with an approximately 6-week knowledge transfer period to ensure a smooth handover.
The overall implementation strategy, governance framework, and rollout methodology have already been established. The successful candidate will be responsible for driving execution across APAC markets, coordinating cross-functional stakeholders, overseeing system integrations, managing project governance, identifying and mitigating risks, and ensuring the successful delivery of the rollout within scope, timeline, and quality expectations.
This is an execution-focused transformation PM role requiring strong supply chain planning, enterprise implementation, and global rollout experience within manufacturing or CPG environments.

Preferred
Direct Kinaxis implementation or rollout experience (largest differentiator)

Prior experience supporting APAC markets (Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, Australia)
Day-to-Day

Team Structure

Stakeholders: ~25 cross-functional partners
Reports to: Chris (administrative), Kelly (day-to-day)
Works alongside external Systems Integrator PM; responsible for deliverables and timelines, not direct people management
Ideal Candidate
A senior PM who has successfully led enterprise supply chain planning implementations in a manufacturing or CPG environment, managed global/APAC rollouts, understands complex system integrations, and can step into an established program and execute with minimal ramp-up.
