Role Overview ERP Business Change Project Manager 

The role of ERP Business Change Project Manager is an extremely “hands-on” position where you will ensure SRT's Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central roadmap and backlog are robustly managed, and that the changes delivered are embedded in how the business works. The programme covers Procurement / P2P, Finance, Inventory and Warehouse, and Projects / Jobs including planning lines. It is delivered first to our Systems business, with a wider SRT rollout to follow.

Changes are built by SRT's in-house BC developer and an external Microsoft partner. The role keeps a single view of work across both sources and manages the business change around each release.
