Job description

You've spent years developing your ERP expertise. But your greatest value isn't simply knowing how to configure a system.

It's understanding how a business operates, identifying what needs to change and translating complex requirements into solutions that work.

Our client is looking for exactly that capability.

They're undertaking a significant ERP transformation and want an experienced Functional Consultant who can bring sound judgement, established consulting skills and a fresh perspective.

Whether your background is in SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics or another enterprise ERP platform, your experience could be highly relevant.

The Opportunity

You’ll join an organisation making important decisions about how its future ERP environment will operate.

Working directly with stakeholders across operational and corporate functions, you’ll develop a detailed understanding of existing processes, identify opportunities for improvement and help shape practical solutions.

This isn’t about transferring outdated processes into a new system.

You’ll be encouraged to question assumptions, assess standard ERP functionality against business requirements and recommend approaches that balance operational needs with long-term sustainability.

Importantly, you’ll be part of the internal team responsible for delivering the transformation, giving you the opportunity to see your recommendations through to implementation.

What You’ll Be Doing

Working alongside business stakeholders, Solution Architects, Developers and delivery teams, you’ll contribute across the ERP implementation lifecycle.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading discovery workshops, analysing business processes and defining functional requirements
• Conducting fit-gap analysis and recommending improvements to existing workflows
• Translating complex requirements into functional specifications, configuration decisions and solution designs
• Working with technical specialists to assess integrations, validate proposed solutions and resolve functional challenges
• Supporting system testing, UAT, defect resolution, deployment and operational readiness
• Providing functional guidance as new capabilities are introduced and the platform evolves

You’ll need to be comfortable taking ownership of functional outcomes, explaining your recommendations and helping stakeholders make informed decisions.

The Organisation

Our client is an established Australian organisation investing significantly in its technology and operating model.

With strong executive backing, the business is implementing a modern ERP platform and strengthening its internal technology capability.

You’ll join an experienced team committed to delivering a successful transformation and supporting the organisation’s evolving technology needs.

About You

We’re looking for an experienced ERP Functional Consultant who has played a meaningful role in enterprise ERP implementations, enhancements or transformation programs.

Your experience could be in SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics or another established ERP platform.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 is the organisation's chosen platform, but previous experience with it is not essential. Your ability to apply strong functional consulting principles in a new environment is more important.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Strong business process analysis, workshop facilitation and requirements definition skills
• Experience conducting fit-gap analysis and preparing functional specifications
• Practical understanding of ERP configuration, integration considerations, testing and deployment
• Confidence challenging requirements, evaluating options and recommending appropriate solutions
• The ability to work independently while building effective relationships with business and technical stakeholders

Experience across distribution, warehousing, supply chain or finance would be particularly relevant.

You’ll also bring curiosity, initiative and a commitment to continuous learning. You’re someone who asks thoughtful questions, follows issues through to resolution and takes pride in the quality of your work.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

You’ll join at a stage where your functional expertise can influence important design decisions, rather than inheriting a solution that’s already been defined.

Your experience with other ERP platforms will be valued, and you’ll have the opportunity to develop your Microsoft Dynamics 365 capability.

As part of the internal team, you’ll also see how your solutions perform in practice, refine them over time and help shape future improvements.

Working Arrangements

This is a permanent position offering $150,000–$170,000 + superannuation, based near Blacktown in Western Sydney.

The role is five days onsite, reflecting the organisation's collaborative culture and the importance of working closely with stakeholders throughout the transformation.
