Position: Team Lead - JDEwards

Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Role

The Team Lead, JDE E1 is a high-impact, consultative functional role responsible for architecting and guiding solutions across Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and integrated systems. Acting as a solo functional architect and subject matter expert, you will bridge the gap between business process owners, management, and IT/IS teams.

This role drives support, continuous enhancements, and key business transformation projects—including SAP to JDE conversions, entity acquisitions, and multi-site client setups (e.g., Brantford). While you will not have direct line management duties, you will serve as the guiding lead for onshore/offshore technical and functional resources, establishing structure, providing solution direction, and ensuring business process optimization across non-finance operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Functional Solution Architecture & Leadership: Serve as the solo architect/lead, guiding functional and technical teams through solution design, issue resolution, business process re-engineering, and work plan execution.

• Project Execution & Transformation: Lead JDE configuration, business process changes, functional specifications, and testing for acquisitions, SAP-to-JDE conversion projects, and new client implementations.

• Business Process Optimization: Partner with stakeholders across manufacturing, supply chain, procurement, and sales to streamline workflows, eliminate process/data gaps, and build long-term JDE solution roadmaps.

• Application Support & Enhancements: Oversee ongoing functional support and system enhancements across non-finance modules, identifying root causes, analyzing system trends, and improving performance and stability without being bogged down by day-to-day incident escalation.

• Stakeholder & Change Management: Translate complex technical concepts for business stakeholders, author functional design specifications, develop user manuals and training documentation, and lead business change initiatives.

• Resource & Delivery Oversight: Collaborate with onshore and offshore vendor partners to ensure thoroughness, process adherence, and balanced workload distribution across projects.

Qualifications & Key Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Information Management, Computer Science, Business, or a related field.

• JDE Functional Expertise: 10+ years of functional analyst experience in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

• Leadership Experience: 5+ years of experience in a team lead or consultative leadership role guiding functional projects and offshore/onshore teams.

• Core Module Proficiency: Deep functional expertise in at least one of the following core streams:

  1. Order-to-Cash (O2C): Order management, sales & distribution, pricing, and fulfillment.

  2. Manufacturing & Supply Chain: Bill of Materials (BOM) setup, Shop Floor Management, shop floor costing, demand/supply forecasting, inventory management, and Procurement.

  3. Finance: General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and integrated operational costing.

• Transformation & Conversion Experience: Hands-on experience with full lifecycle implementations, system conversions (specifically SAP to JDE), entity acquisitions, and multi-site rollouts.

• Industry Background: Strong preference for candidates coming from a manufacturing background or supporting manufacturing environments.

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

• Strong consultative mindset with proven expertise architecting and delivering JDE E1 enterprise solutions.

• Exceptional ability to build relationships with business stakeholders, analyze operational needs, and drive continuous improvement.

• Outstanding oral and written communication skills, including technical writing, business presentations, and power-user training.

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with competing priorities, managing multiple project inputs without direct supervision.
