Are you an ERP Systems Administrator immediately available to undertake an interim role in Norwich? Your new company We are supporting a leading organisation in Norwich who are looking for a temporary ERP Systems Finance Analyst to drive optimisation and enhancements across HR, payroll, finance, and procurement using Agresso Unit4 (or another ERP system). Your new role This temporary assignment will give you the chance to play a key role in the Finance Systems & Business development team regarding value-added projects, resolve system issues, and boost operational efficiency by supporting key operational areas of the business across finance, payroll, HR and procurement in the day-to-day use of Agresso. Any additional experience of working in finance, payroll, HR or procurement would be advantageous, as you would understand the flow of data or information captured by an ERP system such as Agresso, but you must have proven experience of the administration, support or implementation of an ERP system, as well as strong overall IT skills including SQL. What you'll need to succeed You will have experience of using an ERP system (such as Agresso Unit4) as an administrator, part of a project team or an end-user with strong IT skills as you will be involved in system-wide projects, have confident stakeholder / end-user management skills to turn technical requirements into clear business & operational goals. You will demonstrate advanced Excel capabilities, ideally pivot tables, Power Query, VBA or macros-and be able to investigate complex operational concepts (hence the reason for having a finance, payroll, HR or procurement background) through regular meetings and discussion groups including end-user training and guidance. This role is based in Norwich, working ideally 5-days on site as an ERP / Agresso Support Analyst and not as a senior ERP / Agresso system implementation lead. What you'll get in return As explained, this is a temporary ERP job for an initial period of 8-weeks, which may be extended while the organisation recruits a permanent person, so it could become permanent, but the urgent need is interim cover. You will be paid an hourly rate of circa £30,000 - £38,000 depending on experience, paid weekly including holiday pay as an agency worker on a PAYE basis. What you need to do now If you're interested in this role, click 'apply now' to forward an up-to-date copy of your CV including a statement highlighting your relevant experience as well as calling Andy on .
