Senior Business Application Consultant (Project-based)

Are you as excited as we are when we talk about the storage and distribution of bulk liquids at our state-of-the-art tank containers and terminals in key markets? Join us as a Senior Business Application Consultant.
In this role, you will take ownership of the most complex and cross-application technical incidents across Stolt Tankers’ business applications, ensuring they are resolved effectively and sustainably. You will lead root cause analyses, manage vendor and SLA performance for key applications, and act as the primary technical escalation point for the Technical Business Application Consultant team. Alongside incident resolution, you will drive the technical workstreams of implementations, upgrades, migrations, cutovers, and decommissioning projects while providing subject-matter-expert input into solution architecture and technical design decisions.
Stolt Tankers, a division of Stolt-Nielsen Limited (SNL), is the specialist in transporting bulk liquids: chemicals, clean petroleum products, vegetable oils, biofuels, and oleochemicals. We are building a winning culture that is characterized by a safe, sustainable, and continuous improvement mindset. As part of this, we are rolling out continuous improvement training to all our shore-based and seagoing colleagues.
What you will be doing
You will be the senior technical expert for key business applications, taking ownership of complex incidents that span multiple systems and require deep technical investigation. On a daily basis, you will liaise closely with business stakeholders and end users to understand issues, gather detailed technical information, and provide clear updates on solution progress while managing multiple open support tickets. You will work with other Technical Business Application Consultants, infrastructure teams, and third-party vendors to troubleshoot issues from simple user problems to major cross-application incidents, leading root cause analysis and ensuring permanent fixes are implemented. A significant part of your work will involve defining and maintaining test strategies for the application portfolio, reviewing and signing off test plans and results, and validating patches and upgrades before they are released into production. You will lead the technical workstream of projects such as application implementations, upgrades, cutover planning, migration validation, and end-of-life phase-outs, providing SME input into solution architecture and technical design decisions. In addition, you will mentor and coach junior Technical Business Application Consultants, oversee technical risk and compliance aspects such as patching cadence, access reviews, audit evidence, and vulnerability checks, and help manage the Stolt Tankers Business Technology and Innovation (BTI) infrastructure landscape. Throughout, you will operate in a collaborative, project-oriented environment where you coordinate delivery with BT SNL and infrastructure teams, using tools and technologies such as SQL, Office 365, Azure integration, automation workflows, and SharePoint to support reliable and secure application operations.
