Director, IT - ERP

Mitsubishi Power Americas, Inc., in Lake Mary/Orlando, Florida, is looking for a Director of IT – ERP. Company Overview At Mitsubishi Power, we're not just building better clean energy technologies; we're architecting a better future. Our team is boldly redefining power generation to accelerate the world's energy transition. We operate as one team, pushing toward our vision of the future. We value problem solvers, prioritize collaboration, and support each other in an inclusive culture built on accountability and authenticity by demonstrating our values: Safety, Family, Innovative, Inclusive, Accountable & Courageous. Together, we're building the future we all aspire to – making net zero a reality. Mitsubishi Power Americas designs, manufactures, installs, and provides long-term service for high-value natural gas & steam power generation turbines and integrated energy systems across the Americas. With a substantial installed base and multi-decade service agreements, our business depends on a resilient, modern ERP backbone that connects manufacturing, project installation, field service, supply chain, and finance at enterprise scale. Having completed the foundational upgrade from SAP ECC 6.0, we are now entering a high-impact phase: deploying new S/4HANA functionality and modules, modernizing our data and integration architecture, and embedding AI-driven capabilities into day-to-day operations. We are seeking a dynamic leader of ERP Technology to own this platform and lead its evolution. Role Overview The Director of IT ERP is the senior technology leader accountable for the strategy, architecture, deployment, and ongoing operation of the S/4HANA platform and its surrounding enterprise application ecosystem (SAP BTP, SAP Ariba, data and integration services). This leader will drive a clean-core, low-customization strategy, sequence and deliver new module deployments post-ECC migration, lead a team of 12 internal professionals, and govern an Application Management Services (AMS) agreement with a global delivery partner. The role also champions next-generation AI and agentic capabilities (e.g., MCP-based integrations, AI coding agents) to raise the productivity and intelligence of the platform. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can set architectural direction, make defensible build-vs-extend-vs-configure decisions, and translate business priorities in manufacturing, installation, and long-term service into a coherent ERP roadmap including supply chain and financial processes. Critically, this leader is accountable for business outcomes, not just system delivery. As ERP shifts from transaction execution toward intent-driven, AI-supervised, policy-governed execution, the role acts as the platform's product owner and evangelist, forges executive-level alignment, and actively shapes — not just supports — enterprise strategy. Key Responsibilities Business Outcome Ownership & Executive Leadership Own measurable business outcomes across core ERP value streams (procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, record-to-report), taking accountability for results rather than activities. Serve as Product Owner for the S/4HANA platform — owning the vision, backlog, and roadmap, and prioritizing investment by business value and outcome. Act as evangelist for S/4HANA solutions and future capabilities — and for SAP Ariba — building awareness, adoption, and enthusiasm across business and IT. Build strong executive leadership ties, align the ERP roadmap to company strategy, and actively influence that strategy as a trusted advisor to senior leadership. Lead the operating-model shift from configuration and execution toward governance, supervision, and policy-driven (intent-based) execution as AI and agentic capabilities mature, redefining roles and accountabilities accordingly. Operate as a versatile leader — pairing deep SAP and domain expertise with the ability to define intent, supervise AI-driven …
