Acumatica ERP Architect

Main Line Talent Group is conducting a confidential search on behalf of a U.S.-based consumer products manufacturer that controls its supply chain end-to-end — from product development and production through fulfillment and direct customer delivery. The company operates its own manufacturing facilities and has built a proprietary technology stack to manage operations at every stage.

The technology environment is sophisticated and intentional. Acumatica anchors the financial and inventory ledger, while purpose-built internal systems handle production planning, shop floor execution, and warehouse management. A dedicated data platform supports reporting and analytics, and the company is actively expanding its use of automation and AI to reduce manual intervention across core workflows. This hire will play a central role in that evolution.

Role Overview

The Senior ERP & Operational Systems Architect will take ownership of the transactional systems that keep the business running accurately. The focus of this role is ensuring Acumatica remains a clean, reliable source of financial and inventory truth and that every system touching it does so through well-defined, well-governed integration points.

This is a senior individual contributor role with significant cross-functional influence. You will work closely with finance, operations, and engineering to eliminate data fragmentation, modernize workflows, and build the systems discipline required to support continued growth and automation.
