• Conduct regular health checks on project progress and Godrej performance; prepare objective status reports for leadership.
• Mentor internal team members on Infor processes and build long-term Infor competency within the organization.
• Participate in steering committee meetings, vendor governance sessions, and key decision-making forums. Work with the Executive Committee and Functional Owners to define and implement high quality and useful management and line-level reporting.

• Deep functional knowledge in core modules relevant to our business (e.g., Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Distribution, Procurement please specify industry focus if applicable).
• Experience working with Infor implementation partners (Godrej or similar) and holding them accountable to scope, quality, and timelines.
