Business Systems Manager

⭐ Business Systems Manager

📍 Northern Ireland

💼 Full-time | Permanent

💰 £45,000 - £65-000 (depending on experience)

Are you ready to take full ownership of a company’s business systems landscape and lead a major digital transformation journey?

We’re supporting a growing engineering and manufacturing organisation that designs and builds complex machinery in-house and supplies customers worldwide. As the business continues to scale, they are investing heavily in strengthening their data, systems, and operational processes — and this role will play a central part in that transformation.

🚀 The Opportunity

As Business Systems & Transformation Manager, you will:

Business Systems Ownership

• Lead, develop, and optimise the company’s core systems environment
• Ensure systems are scalable, structured, and aligned with strong governance and data standards.
• Act as the internal owner for system performance, integration strategy, and continuous improvement.

Operational Transformation

• Drive the digitalisation and automation of processes across all departments.
• Lead system and process improvement initiatives end‐to‐end.
• Support shop‐floor data capture, reporting, and operational visibility initiatives.

Vendor & Partner Leadership

• Own relationships with external IT and ERP providers.
• Define priorities, manage delivery expectations, and coordinate upgrades or enhancements.
• Lead multi‐party projects and ensure strong collaboration across internal and external teams.

Business Partnering

• Work closely with department heads to understand operational challenges and translate them into system solutions.
• Support development of meaningful management reporting and analytics.
• Contribute to long‐term digital and operational strategy.

🎯 What We’re Looking For

Required

• Proven experience managing, leading, or improving ERP or enterprise business systems within manufacturing/engineering/production.
• Experience delivering system implementations or transformation projects.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, production workflows, or costing.
• Comfortable collaborating with external IT partners or system integrators.
• Technically confident with hands-on problem solving.
• Comfortable operating with autonomy and full ownership.

Desirable

• Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (or similar ERP).
• Experience with Microsoft OneDrive / SharePoint.
• Familiarity with system APIs or integration tools.

🌟 Why This Role Stands Out

• High ownership and autonomy
• Strategic influence across the whole organisation
• Ability to shape the next major phase of digital transformation
• Fast-growing engineering environment with real investment in systems
• Work with senior leadership and shape long-term operational capability
