Contract Business Analyst (Dynamics 365 BC) | 6-Month Contract | Strategic ERP Transformation
This is a pivotal six-month contract opportunity to join a respected UK manufacturing business with multiple sites. The company is ready to move beyond basic functionality and unlock the full strategic potential of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. For professionals ready to take ownership of a transformative ERP project and directly shape the operational future of a well-established organisation, this role offers a rewarding and high-impact challenge.
We are seeking an experienced Business Analyst to lead a comprehensive, end-to-end review of operational processes and design a future model that is more efficient, better connected, and fully aligned with the capabilities of Dynamics 365 Business Central.
The day rate for this role is negotiable c.£500 per day, depending on your depth of experience and expertise. The contract can be offered inside IR35 or via an umbrella arrangement.
Dynamics 365 Business Central is already in place, but its current usage is limited to core finance and basic operations. Strategic modules such as MRP, CRM, and advanced inventory and warehouse management have yet to be fully explored or integrated. The primary goal of this contract is to deliver a clear, actionable transformation roadmap that guides the business toward more integrated and effective operations.
You will begin by engaging with teams across all operations from procurement, sales, distribution and finance to document the current state. This will require significant time on-site at the Lincoln HQ, working closely with operational users at all levels.
From there, you will identify inefficiencies, risks, and missed opportunities, and design a future-state model that reflects best practice and fully leverages the core capabilities of Dynamics 365 Business Central. Your final deliverable will be a detailed, prioritised roadmap.
This is a hands-on, consultative role that demands a blend of analytical rigour and interpersonal skill.
You will need proven experience in business process analysis or a similar consulting role, along with expertise in designing and documenting workflows using recognised methodologies. The ability to build trust and manage stakeholders at all levels, from the shop floor to senior leadership, is essential. Experience within complex manufacturing or engineering environments will be highly beneficial.
The contract is full-time, requiring five days per week. The role is primarily based at the Lincoln HQ to ensure close collaboration with core teams.
