ERP Analyst

The Opportunity:
Are you a seasoned ERP Specialist within the manufacturing or engineering sector?  Our client uses Infor LN ERP and they are due an upgrade later this year.  They need an experienced ERP Analyst to assist in the upgrade of data from all users within the business.  This is a contract role (anticipated to last 6-9 months), and available for an immediate start.

Job Responsibilities:

The ERP Analyst will evaluate our current "As-Is" processes, assess data readiness, and lead the selection process (RFP) for the implementation partner. They will act as an impartial advisor to ensure we move away from heavy customisations and toward "default" Infor behaviour.
Assessing data integration and alignment with our European subsidiaries.
Documenting "As-Is" processes and identifying manual workarounds or inefficiencies.
Establishing principles for master data harmonisation (Items, Customers, Suppliers) across the group.
Preparing Request for Proposal (RFP) documentation, managing vendor presentations, and advising the Steering Committee on the best implementation partner.
Comparing Cloud vs. On-Premise options for our various sites. You will offer:

Experience: 8+ years in ERP programmes, business analysis, or digital transformation within a manufacturing environment, ideally using Infor LN.
ERP Knowledge: Strong understanding of the ERP lifecycle and data architecture. While Infor LN (versions 7/10) knowledge is a significant advantage, we are happy to consider experts in other major ERPs (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Dynamics) who have strong "Partner Selection" and "Process Realignment" experience.
Technical Literacy: A basic understanding of data management, naming conventions, and data quality.
Soft Skills: Strong stakeholder facilitation skills; able to work closely with both IT and operational department heads.Working Hours:  07.00 to 16.30 Monday to Wednesday, 07.00 to 16.00 Thursday with every Friday off
