Job Description: Technical Project Manager – ERP
About Specialized
We believe that bikes have the power to change lives—and behind every ride is a global business powered by technology. Our teams design, build, and operate the systems that keep Specialized moving with speed, accuracy, and rider‑obsession. As we modernize our core applications and data platforms, we are investing deeply in talent that can bring clarity, structure, and execution excellence to complex, global initiatives.
Role Summary
The Technical Project Manager – ERP will lead the cross‑functional delivery of Oracle ERP–related technology initiatives, including enhancements, integrations, process improvements, and modernization efforts. This role will play a key part in work associated with our transition from Oracle E‑Business Suite (EBS) toward ERP SaaS / Cloud solutions.
This position requires strong fluency across both technical delivery (engineering, integrations, data, architecture) and business process domains (finance, inventory, and order management). The ideal candidate is comfortable operating in a hybrid delivery environment, thoughtfully applying Agile and waterfall approaches based on the nature of the work, systems involved, and delivery partners.
In addition, this role is expected to be a change leader within the Project Management Office (PMO), actively leveraging AI‑enabled tools and techniques to modernize how projects are planned, tracked, communicated, and delivered—driving meaningful gains in efficiency, clarity, and execution quality.
This is an in‑office role based at our Morgan Hill, CA global headquarters.

PMO Modernization & AI‑Enabled Delivery
