ERP Transformation Control Tower Lead: placed in days
A specialist private equity technology advisory firm building out its US team needed immediate programme leadership.
6 days
From business interview to start date.
Contract start
Started on a contract basis alongside a live PE programme.
The brief
The client needed an ERP Transformation Control Tower Lead in the US to run governance across large PE-backed carve-out and ERP programmes. A live programme needed leadership straight away, so the person had to be able to start immediately.
What TTHG did
- Identified and qualified the candidate early. We kept him engaged until the right seat opened.
- Prepared him in detail for each interview. Preparation covered the areas the client's assessors would test: PE buy-side experience, sponsor priorities, control tower beyond reporting, carve-out scope and SAP ECC to S/4HANA routes.
- Managed the commercial negotiation. We worked with the candidate and client through to an agreed offer.
- Handled contracting. We enabled him to start without onboarding delays.
The result
The candidate agreed an offer two days after the business interview and started six days after that interview, on a contract basis alongside a live PE programme.
These timings describe this appointment. We had identified and qualified the candidate before the role opened, so they do not represent the duration of a search from instruction.
“Thank you for all your support in making this process as seamless as possible.”
