The Role
Our client is looking to appoint a Business Systems & Data Manager to take ownership of the systems that underpin the group's operations and be a key part of moulding the data environment.
Our client is one of the fastest growing businesses in UK construction materials, waste, logistics and contracting, operating across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the North East. The role brings its business systems under clear ownership as the group expands, largely through acquisition.
Responsibilities
This is, first and foremost, a business systems role. The successful candidate will take ownership of a broad applications estate, including core platforms such as Sage 200, Weighsoft, Syrinx, Salesforce and Qlik, together with the underlying Microsoft SQL Server environment. A central part of the role is to help develop a single, uniform ERP solution, moving the group from its current state through to a mid state and finally to an end state, while retaining some of the more valuable legacy applications. There is also scope to develop the SQL estate, integrating the systems into it, with a view to implementing a data lake in time. The role will act as a bridge between IT and business users to help translate complex data concepts into actionable insights that support strategic initiatives. It is a senior and practical appointment with genuine ownership, not a Head of Data or pure transformation role.
