Business Systems Manager

Job Description:

Business Systems Manager

Coventry – On site

up to £60,000 + bonus + benefits

I’m working with a well-established manufacturing business who are looking for a Business Systems Manager to join their IT leadership team. This role offers the chance to take ownership of a project portfolio that includes an ERP upgrade programme and the potential for wider transformation projects.

You’ll be leading and supporting a team of 15 Analysts and Developers, managing six-figure project budgets, and driving delivery of both IT and business-led initiatives, reporting into the Head of IT

What you’ll be doing

• Assessing business cases and making informed recommendations to drive value.
• Planning, allocating, and managing resources to ensure projects stay on track.
• Delivering IT projects, including ERP upgrades and wider business transformation initiatives.
• Managing six-figure IT budgets and ensuring financial accountability.
• Influencing and negotiating with stakeholders across the business

About you

You’ll be someone who understands the knock-on effect of technology decisions and can balance business priorities with what’s realistically achievable across the short, medium, and long term, managing expectations around delivery every step of the way.

You’ll have experience delivering technology change and transformation, ideally within a manufacturing environment, and know how to communicate and sell the benefits of change to users, managers, and directors across multiple departments.

What’s in it for you?

• Stability & loyalty: This is a business that bucks the trend, with several IT team members having been there 10–15 years, including the Head of IT who’s been with the business for over a decade.
• Inclusive culture: the IT team is collaborative, inclusive and diverse.
• Major projects ahead: You’ll be right at the centre of large transformation and potential future system transformations.
