As the company has global offices, you may also get the opportunity to travel oversees and aid in these implementations.
In terms of the implementation, it will largely be done via Waterfall methodology and having a broad ERP knowledge is a must. You will also need to have strong stakeholder management skills, however not SQL configuration etc. This is not a hands-on role.
