Job Description
Lead the most complex IFS engagements within aerospace and defense as a Sr Principal Consultant at Oxalis. Shape strategy, lead design, and drive measurable outcomes in critical fields.
Responsibilities:
- Lead engagements end-to-end, from discovery and requirements through configuration, migration, deployment, adoption, and post-go-live support.
- Listen carefully and surface the real problem behind the stated one; analyze processes, systems, and workflows; design tailored IFS solutions that align with customer goals.
- Translate complex technical and operational concepts into clear recommendations for executive, technical, and end-user audiences.
- Lead IFS Apps 10 to IFS Cloud upgrade engagements end-to-end, including version-gap analysis, scoping and estimation, build, data migration, cutover, and hypercare.
- Decide which customizations to retire, re-platform, or rebuild, reducing technical debt as part of the upgrade.
- Architect solutions across the customer's IFS domains: MRO and asset management, manufacturing, supply chain, finance, and projects.
- Embed ITAR, DFARS, and security and compliance requirements into the upgrade architecture, access model, and deployment approach.
- Coordinate customer’s internal teams, third-party technology and service vendors, and IFS Customer Success into a single delivery plan.
- Own delivery performance across multiple engagements against scope, schedule, budget, quality, and margin; manage risks, dependencies, and stakeholder expectations proactively.
- Lead and mentor consultants and technical specialists, guiding them through high-stakes delivery.
- Lead workshops, design sessions, executive readouts, and change management activities that keep the work moving.
- Advise the customer's CIO and steering committee on status, risk, and the decisions that protect outcomes.
- Make the hard calls — staffing changes, scope conversations, escalations — when they protect customer outcomes and Oxalis's interests.
- Partner with Customer Growth and Sales during pre-sales: discovery, solution shaping, estimates, and proposals; bring empathy and curiosity to uncover what truly matters to a buyer.
- Carry a sales-attribution target by expanding the value Oxalis delivers to existing customers and helping win new IFS opportunities.
- Represent Oxalis with credibility and confidence in customer and prospect conversations.
- Improve Oxalis's IFS tools, templates, and delivery methodologies; leave the practice better than you found it.
- Establish and grow the IFS capabilities as a practice area within Oxalis.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Administration, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- Several years leading IFS upgrade and migration engagements, including IFS Applications 10 to IFS Cloud, ideally within a broader extensive ERP delivery career.
- Demonstrated delivery within U.S. aerospace and defense customers, with fluency in maritime and A&D operating models such as MRO, project-based manufacturing, and complex supply chains.
- Multiple IFS Certified Practitioner (IFS Cloud) credentials across the priority domains, with Asset Management and Manufacturing as the leading areas, plus coverage of Supply Chain, Financials, and Projects.
- Working knowledge of security and compliance in regulated defense industry environments, including FIPS 140-2/140-3, NIST SP 800-171, CMMC 2.0, and DFARS 252.204-7012.
- Proven experience partnering with IFS Customer Success, third-party vendors, and internal stakeholders to deliver complex programs.
- Strong project and time management skills; ability to balance multiple engagements without dropping quality.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, with a track record of engaging executive and technical stakeholders.
- A bias for ownership: you see what needs doing and you do it, rather than waiting to be told.
- Must be a U.S. Person as defined under ITAR (22 CFR 120.62); U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
- An active security clearance is preferred, but not required for this role.
Benefits:
- Join Oxalis and be part of a team that’s transforming how regulated industries operate through cutting-edge solutions.
- Here, leadership means driving innovation and owning your impact; empathy shapes our people-first culture; growth is constant; quality defines everything we deliver; and curiosity fuels our drive to solve complex challenges.
