Business Systems Manager

Business Systems Manager

Equip Outdoor Technologies | Home of Rab | Alfreton, Derbyshire

This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of Business Systems within a successful international business and play a key role in how technology supports its continued growth.

Equip Outdoor Technologies is home to Rab, one of the outdoor industry's most respected technical brands. From its headquarters in Alfreton, Equip has built a successful international business with an ambitious culture and a strong focus on continually improving how it operates to support that growth.

As the business continues to evolve, Equip is looking to appoint a Business Systems Manager who can combine strong Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central/Navision expertise with the leadership, commercial understanding and people skills to drive systems and process improvements across the organisation.

The opportunity

You'll take ownership of the Business Systems agenda, working with senior leaders and teams across Equip to understand priorities, challenge existing ways of working and identify where systems, data and technology can make a real difference.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is central to the role, so strong hands-on experience of Business Central and/or Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision) is essential.

You'll work alongside a Business Transformation Manager to support business projects, with your systems slant, and identify improvements from idea through to implementation, bringing together internal teams and external partners, setting priorities and ensuring change is successfully embedded across the business.

What we're looking for

• Strong Business Central/Navision experience.
• Experience leading the development and improvement of ERP and wider business systems.
• The ability to take ownership, set priorities and provide direction.
• Experience leading projects and successfully managing and delivering sustained change.
• Strong commercial awareness and an understanding of how systems connect different areas of a business.
• The skills, credibility and confidence to influence all stakeholders, including leadership and challenge constructively where there is a compelling case to do so.
• A proactive, curious and solutions-focused approach.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

The person

Technical credibility matters, but how you lead and work with people will be equally important.

We're looking for someone approachable, curious, eager to learn and down-to-earth; someone comfortable setting direction and making decisions while still willing to get into the detail when required.

Equip is a collaborative business, so the right person will be able to challenge constructively, create clarity and bring people with them through change.

Equip's values are Synergy, Ingenuity, Determination, Ambition and Integrity, and we're looking for someone who naturally champion these in everything they do..

If you have strong Business Central or Navision experience and want the opportunity to lead systems improvement and make a visible difference within an ambitious business, we'd love to hear from you.
