Chemonics seeks an enterprise resource planning (ERP) technical advisor for the Global Health Supply Chain – Procurement Supply Management (GHSC-PSM) project.

NMS is a government-affiliated medical warehousing and distribution firm, responsible for supplying health commodities to public health facilities. The ERP technical advisor will perform a quality assurance role, working closely with the ERP vendor team, USAID, and the GHSC-PSM Uganda field office and System Strengthening team. We are looking for individuals who have a passion for making a difference in the lives of people around the world.

Responsibilities include:

  • Ensure sign-offs on all project milestones
  • Ensure vendor complies with methodology and Systems Development Life Cycle best practices
  • Ensure completeness of all project and system documentation, specifications test plans, executed test protocols, and all related documentation for the ERP implementation
