**About the role** We are hiring a contract GovCon ERP Solution Architect for a growing U.S. aerospace and defense company that is integrating businesses. The company holds cost-plus services contracts, bids fixed-price work on full and open competitions, and runs a fab shop with manufacturing contracts. It is moving from three legacy ERP systems to one platform. You will recommend the platform, own the target-state design, configure the system yourself and lead the cutover. The accounting system must stay adequate under DCAA review throughout, and cost-plus billing must stay fully supported. **What you will do** * Assess Deltek Costpoint, Unanet and other GovCon platforms against the company's contract mix, and recommend one to leadership. * Design the target-state finance structure: chart of accounts, organizations, projects, indirect cost pools and allocation bases, consistent with FAR Part 31. * Configure the system yourself: timekeeping, labor distribution, project accounting, billing and revenue recognition. * Set up cost-plus billing, public vouchers submitted through WAWF (PIEE), and the data needed for incurred cost submissions. * Configure job costing for the fab shop's manufacturing contracts. * Design the six interfaces between the new platform and the company's other systems, and oversee their build. * Direct the implementation partner and hold them to scope, schedule and quality. * Plan the data migration from the three legacy systems, run a parallel close before cutover and lead go-live. **What you bring** * 8+ years of hands-on work in Deltek Costpoint or Unanet. * At least two full ERP migrations led through go-live. * Working knowledge of DCAA accounting system adequacy, indirect rate structures, FAR Part 31 and incurred cost submissions. * Experience setting up cost-plus billing and public vouchers. * Ability to explain platform trade-offs to company leadership in plain language. * No financial relationship with Deltek, Unanet, JAMIS or their implementation partners. **Preferred** * Manufacturing or fab shop job costing on a GovCon platform. * Experience consolidating several legacy systems or entities onto one platform. **How to apply** Send a short note naming the ERP migrations you led, the platforms involved and your own role in each.
