ERP Manager - Kincardineshire

ERP Manager

Enterprise resource planning software is at the heart of many businesses’ procurement and purchasing operations. It influences, monitors and analyses all aspects of revenue and spending. But an ERP is never a case of install and forget – they need constant upgrading, troubleshooting, staff training, compliance testing and interconnectivity with other departments’ solutions. That’s why the ERP manager is a key player in the company.

ERP manager jobs often involve plenty of time meeting with upper management and other stakeholders in a business, as costing and planning proposals are thrashed out. Decisions made in the boardroom will then have to be implemented in the ERP, a task that might be hands-on or delegated, depending on the size and structure of the organisation. ERP managers can also be involved in recruitment for ERP-related positions.

The skills required

The primary skill for the ERP manager will be a complete understanding of how ERPs work and how to perform integrations and safe updates, not just a working knowledge of the software. Since there is a diverse range of ERP solutions on the market, specialism in one particular solution might be an advantage for some roles (or a limiting factor in others). Some organisations also run their own bespoke ERP solutions, or heavily personalised versions of popular ones, so flexibility and core understanding are key here.

Since the job is all about overseeing the ERP specialists, external ERP contractors and the various stakeholders of the business, you must be a great communicator, able to justify actions to the board and educate users on operation, or delegate such tasks to others.

ERP Manager Jobs in Kincardineshire

Kincardineshire was a self-contained council centred of the capital Stonehaven, but is now part of the committee of Aberdeenshire, and retains its boundaries as a lieutenancy area. It is on the east coast of Scotland, starting just south of Aberdeen, and is bordered by Angus and Aberdeenshire.

The county town of Stonehaven is the largest settlement in the historic county, with a population of around 10,000 people, which provides the best opportunity for ERP Manager jobs. However the best place to look for management and executive positions in Kincardineshire is undoubtedly Aberdeen, which boomed after the discovery of North Sea Oil and remains an important centre for this industry, and in turn the Scottish and UK economy.
