Aptean ERP Specialist

Role Overview

This position is for an Aptean ERP subject matter expert who can support, configure, and improve an Aptean ERP environment in a manufacturing/production setting. It blends functional ERP knowledge (business processes) with technical skills (configuration, troubleshooting, integrations, reporting).
