ERP & Enterprise Applications Lead

Belfast | Hybrid | 12-Month Fixed-Term Contract

We're partnering with an ambitious, growing organisation embarking on a significant technology transformation, with a new ERP implementation at the heart of it.

This is more than a system replacement. The business is investing in the technology, data and processes needed to support its next phase of growth, creating greater consistency, better information and a more connected way of working.

They are now looking for an ERP & Enterprise Applications Lead to play a key role in that journey.

The role

This is not a traditional ERP Project Manager position. A separate Project Manager will own the programme plan and governance.

Instead, you'll act as the organisation's internal ERP and solution lead, working across business stakeholders, IT and external implementation specialists.

You'll be involved throughout the ERP lifecycle, from solution design and configuration through data migration, integrations, testing, cutover and stabilisation.

You'll also provide informed challenge around solution decisions, helping the business adopt best-practice and standard ERP capability wherever possible rather than over-customising the new environment.

What we're looking for

You'll ideally bring:

• Experience across at least one significant end-to-end ERP implementation
• Strong ERP solution design and architecture knowledge
• Experience across data migration, integrations, testing, cutover and go-live
• Confidence working with and challenging external implementation partners
• Strong stakeholder management skills across technical and non-technical audiences
• The ability to balance business requirements with standard ERP capability and long-term supportability

Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central would be a significant advantage, although candidates from comparable ERP environments will also be considered.

Why consider it?

This is an opportunity to join a transformation at the point where the important decisions are still being made.

You won't simply inherit an established ERP environment, you'll help shape it, implement it and establish how it is managed for the future.

The immediate priority is successful ERP delivery, with the longer-term vision extending into ownership and governance of the wider enterprise applications landscape.

If you've been through a major ERP implementation before and know both what worked and what you'd do differently next time, we'd be keen to speak with you.
