Job Description

Business Systems Lead (SAP / ERP)
Sheffield Hybrid (2 days on site)
£55,000 - £65,000 + benefits

A hands-on ERP role with real ownership across the business.

We re working with a well-established manufacturing group in Sheffield who are looking for a Business Systems Lead to take ownership of their SAP environment across multiple business units.

This role sits at the centre of IT and the wider business - supporting day-to-day operations, but more importantly improving how SAP is used across finance, operations and supply chain.

It s a genuinely broad role with a mix of support, optimisation and project work - ideal for someone who wants more ownership and visibility, rather than being one of many in a larger team.

The role

You ll be the go-to person for SAP across the group, responsible for both keeping things running and making them better.

You ll be:

  • Leading functional support across core SAP modules (Finance, MM, SD, Production Planning)
  • Acting as the escalation point for complex or cross-functional issues
  • Identifying and delivering process improvements - not just system fixes
  • Supporting integrations, interfaces and data flow across systems
  • Working closely with stakeholders across finance, operations and supply chain
  • Contributing to the ERP roadmap and supporting ongoing transformation initiatives
What they re looking for
  • Experience supporting SAP or a similar ERP system in a manufacturing, engineering or distribution environment
  • Strong functional understanding of core business processes (finance, procurement, production, sales)
  • Someone who can balance BAU support with continuous improvement
  • Comfortable working directly with stakeholders across the business
  • A proactive, hands-on approach with the confidence to take ownership
  • (ABAP or technical exposure is useful but not essential)
Why this role

This is a great opportunity to step into a role where you ll:

  • Have real ownership of the ERP landscape
  • Work across multiple areas of the business, not just IT
  • Play a key role in improving processes and system usage
  • Be part of a small, collaborative team where you can make a visible impact

If you re in an SAP / ERP role and feel ready for more ownership and influence, this could be a really strong next step.
