ERP consultant resume template
Short answer
Henrietta suits ERP consultants: a conventional consulting layout that leads with project experience and prints education straight after it. The fictional sample is an SAP S/4HANA finance consultant at a Manchester implementation partner who used to run an accounts payable team, with four full-cycle go-lives, fit-to-standard workshops, migration of open items, cutover plans, hypercare and a short list of go-lives at the end.

Why Henrietta suits an ERP consultant resume
Henrietta is the business and consulting layout of the seven, left-aligned in black and grey, with experience straight under the summary and education after it. ERP clients and partners read first for go-lives, modules and your role on each project, and this order puts that evidence on top.
Second choice: Meridian. Meridian prints labelled skill rows before experience, useful when a posting screens hard on specific modules or a certification.
What goes in each section, in Henrietta's order
Henrietta prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.
- Professional Summary. Name the ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Infor, Odoo), your modules, functional or technical focus, and the number of full-cycle implementations. "ERP consultant" alone tells a partner nothing about whether you can lead their finance workstream.
- Work Experience. For each role, say how many projects, which phases you owned (workshops, design, build, testing, migration, cutover, hypercare) and the outcome: go-live on date, issues closed, users trained. Name client industries and sizes rather than client names.
- Education. Henrietta prints education straight after the jobs. A business, finance or IT degree on one line; a professional accounting qualification here or in the summary if you have one, since finance clients value it.
- Skills. The grid shows no labels, so list modules and processes first (general ledger, payables, receivables, asset accounting, controlling), then tools (migration, testing, ticketing), then client-facing skills. Write module names the way the vendor does.
- Go-lives. A short "Go-lives" list gives each project in one line: client type, scope, size and date. Partners use it to match you quickly to their next project.

How to make the sample yours
Lead with full-cycle count
Partners often ask how many end-to-end implementations you have done and in which role. Put the number in the summary and make the go-lives list match it.
Show business process depth
ERP consultants are hired for knowing the process as well as the screens. If you ran payables, closed the books or managed a warehouse, say so; it explains why your designs work.
Make data migration and cutover visible
Open items, balances, master data volumes, reconciliation sign-off and cutover rehearsals are where go-lives succeed or slip. One bullet with numbers here carries weight.
Support and upgrade roles
For support or AMS roles, swap go-lives for tickets resolved, service levels met, enhancements delivered and upgrades tested. The layout stays the same.
Moving between ERPs
Process knowledge transfers between SAP, Oracle, Dynamics and NetSuite. Name the processes first and the products second, and add any training on the new system.

Frequently asked questions
How do I become an ERP consultant from a finance or operations job?
Start as a key user or super user on your employer's ERP project, then look for junior consultant or support roles at partners. Your process knowledge is the selling point; add vendor training to show system depth.
Should I list every module I have touched?
List modules you configured or designed on real projects. Mention others only as integration points ("worked with sales and distribution on billing").
How do I describe projects without naming clients?
Use industry, size, scope and date: "food manufacturer, five company codes, finance and controlling, 2025". That is usually enough for a partner to judge fit.
Functional or technical: does the resume change?
Functional consultants lead with processes, workshops and configuration. Technical consultants lead with development, interfaces, data and performance work, and list languages and tools first.
How long should an ERP consultant resume be?
Two pages is common for experienced consultants because of the project list. Keep each go-live to one line and cut older roles to two bullets.
Will applicant tracking systems read this Henrietta PDF?
The sample PDF read back with its contact details, all 5 section headings and all 8 bullets intact in three open-source text extractors (pdf.js, pdftotext and pypdf). Commercial systems such as Workday, Greenhouse or Taleo were not tested, and each employer configures its own.
