Our client uses Kerridge as their ERP and currently have 3 separate instances across their group of companies. In H2 2026 they will consolidate to have just 1 but in H1 they need to get all 3 instances working the same way to make consolidation easier so just 1 way of doing everything across the systems. To oversee and deliver this piece of work, we are looking for an Interim Business Systems Manager that has extensive ERP experience and experience of such projects and consolidating systems.
The role is remote but will require some travel to Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire offices to meet stakeholders and project teams and also London less frequently to meet The Tech and Transformation Directors.
Stakeholders will be across Finance including A/P, A/R, Inventory, Commercial and so on. The role will be to get to grips with each system quickly and determine the correct operational processes to use across them. You will therefore need to define what stays and what goes and then create work packages of continuous improvement to configure the solutions and to determine resource allocation (inhouse and/or external).
In additional to this, Reporting (Power BI) needs to be integrated and improved.
