🚀 MIS Implementation Lead (Contract)
💰 £400–£450 per day | Outside IR35
📍 Lancashire | 5 days onsite initially → 3 days onsite / 2 remote
📅 9-month contract
We’re working with a well-established, specialist manufacturing business embarking on a critical systems transformation, and they’re looking for a hands-on MIS Implementation Lead to take full ownership of delivery.
This is a high-impact role where you’ll sit at the heart of the business, leading the implementation of a new Management Information System and acting as the key bridge between operational teams and the software vendor
🔧 The Role
This is not a coordination-only position — you’ll be embedded within the organisation, translating real-world operational processes into system solutions and driving the project end-to-end.
You’ll take ownership from requirements gathering through to implementation, ensuring the system works in practice and delivers tangible business value.
💡 Key Responsibilities
• Lead the full MIS implementation from the client side
• Act as the primary interface between the business and the software vendor
• Gather, challenge and translate business requirements into system solutions
• Map and document existing operational processes
• Create and manage the project plan and delivery roadmap
• Lead data migration activities and ensure data integrity
• Own and drive User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
• Provide regular progress updates to senior stakeholders / board
• Identify and manage risks, gaps and dependencies across the programme
🧠 What We’re Looking For
• Proven experience delivering end-to-end MIS, ERP or similar system implementations
• Strong blend of business analysis and project delivery experience
• Experience working in SME or operationally complex environments
• Ability to work hands-on with processes, data and systems
• Experience managing third-party vendors and holding them to account
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and making pragmatic decisions
⭐ Desirable
• Experience within manufacturing, print or production environments
• Prior experience implementing MIS platforms
👤 The Ideal Candidate
• Hands-on and detail-oriented
• Outcome-focused — owns delivery, not just process
• Commercially aware and pragmatic
• Strong communicator, able to bridge technical and operational teams
• Self-sufficient and proactive
✨ Why Apply?
• Outside IR35 contract
• High-visibility, business-critical transformation project
• Opportunity to take full ownership of delivery
• Work closely with senior stakeholders and influence key decisions
If you’re a hands-on implementation lead who enjoys owning complex system rollouts and driving real business change, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a tangible impact.
