ERP Systems Manager - Hastings

ERP Systems Manager

The most modern enterprise resource planning suites are remarkable in their power, and it’s impossible for many businesses to imagine life without theirs. But with such power comes a non-negotiable need to keep it running smoothly and at its optimum performance levels. The ERP systems manager is there to ensure those requirements are met.

Specific responsibilities vary from business to business, sector to sector, but on the whole the ERP systems manager is there as a hands-on expert who can oversee installations, integrations, optimisation, upgrades, automation and all the other aspects of a well functioning ERP. Importantly, this all needs to be done with minimal or zero downtime, and if downtime is inevitable, it will be up to the ERP systems manager to plan and project manage

The skills required

The more experience you have running an ERP system, the more of an asset you will be to potential employers. Expertise in one particular system is often requested by employers who understand the diverse range available, but with so many similarities across providers, it may not be necessary, and training may be given if you can show an aptitude for working on multiple systems.

As a manager, you’ll be reporting to the directors, but also collaborating with other managers and heads of department to decide on appropriate plugins, installations and integrations, and then to implement them. You’ll also probably have a tech support role for users, particularly in small and medium operations.

ERP Systems Manager Jobs in Hastings

Hastings has no historical claims on the UK’s culture – unless you count a minor scuffle in 1066 that changed the rulers of the nation forever. In fact, the main battle took place on a Senlac Hill, about 6 miles (10 km) to the northwest of the town, but it’s known to generations of schoolchildren as the Battle of Hastings. Perhaps if Harold had not needed to take his army north to repel an invasion of Norsemen just as the Norman invasion was happening, the battle, and British history, would have been very different. And that probably means we wouldn’t all be here, so we owe the Norwegians one!

The town became an important fishing village as time progressed, and fishing still plays a part in the town, and the largest beach-based fishing fleet in Europe is based there. The town, like many seaside towns, thrived during the Victorian period, especially when the railway came, and Hastings was one of a string of popular holiday destinations along the south coast. It still remains so.

Hastings is a relatively large town, with a static population approaching 100,000. Its tourism industry is its largest employer, but fishing and its related industries is still quite important. Around the town there are many small businesses and a few retail and industrial parks. The diversity of industry and the population that changes seasonally means that ERP Systems Manager jobs do appear from time to time in Hastings, so it is always worth checking with us to see if anything is in the pipeline in or around the town.
