📍 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
