   1st round will be a video interview with their AVP of Information Technology .  
•    If that goes well, they will plan a ½ day onsite interview and will have an answer by the end of the interview on if they want to move forward.  If during the ½ day onsite interview a candidate is identified early as not being a fit, they will not keep them for the entire length of the interview.

Added Insight:  

•    PwC – PricewaterhouseCoopers was the ERP Vendor that Ben E. Keith has been utilizing to oversee their SAP S/4 HANA Implementation, for a massive $100M project 
•    Currently, the client does not have an SAP S/4 HANA expert on staff and they plant to utilize this resource in that way.  
•    This resource needs to be proficient in using JIRA for project activities
•    Candidates must have had experience with project managing several successful SAP S/4 HANA Implementations while being involved in all phases (design, dev, testing, deployment).
•    Candidates must have experience working collaboratively across the enterprise (onshore) as well as with offshore teams – excellent communication skills are key.
•    They are currently finishing up the first round of integration testing that lasted 6-weeks.  They will be taking a brief break for a couple of weeks before they ramp up the 2nd round of integration testing that is slated to last 7-weeks.  Then another short couple of weeks break before beginning the 3rd and last round of integration testing.  It will then move to UAT and ultimately to go-live in October 2024.  Ideally this PM comes in ASAP to help keep everything on track during these implementation tests and UAT.  They want this person to start before the next cycle ramps up but they are also focused on finding the right person to help take them over the hump to go-live.
