Job description

Hello,
My name is Clémence, and I'm a recruitment and business development consultant at FED IT, a recruitment firm specialized in IT.
I handle two types of recruitment: temporary and permanent.
All our recruitment consultants are IT experts who speak your language and operate in your world. We cover roles in IT, including development, business intelligence, and infrastructure.

Bonjour,
Je suis Robin, conseiller en recrutement et développement des affaires au sein de FED IT, cabinet de recrutement spécialisé sur les métiers TI.
J'interviens sur deux types de recrutement : temporaires et permanents.
Tous nos conseillers en recrutements sont des experts TI qui parlent votre langage et évoluent dans votre univers. Nous couvrons les métiers de l'informatique, développement, décisionnel et infrastructure.

We are seeking an experienced ERP Business Analyst for a strategic migration project from Aptos to Epicor, focusing on logistics, warehouse operations, and distribution.

You will join a lean, agile IT team, reporting to the Director of IT, working alongside two technical team members.

The project duration is 12 months:
- 10 months of implementation (requirements gathering, specification, configuration, business support)
- 2 months of testing and validation

While experience with Epicor is a plus, it is not mandatory; what matters most is a strong understanding of logistics and distribution processes, along with excellent documentation and analysis skills.

Your key responsibilities include:
- Gathering requirements and conducting business analysis through workshops with logistics, warehouse, and order management teams.
- Documenting business needs and identifying process gaps between Aptos and the new ERP.
- Analyzing current workflows and defining future scenarios.
- Drafting detailed functional specifications and use cases.
- Translating business needs into technical requirements for development teams.
- Collaborating with IT and developers during implementation, participating in ERP configuration, and validating solutions.
- Tracking deliverables to meet deadlines.
- Developing and executing test plans, identifying issues, and supporting user training.
- Creating comprehensive documentation of processes, flows, and user guides.

Requirements include:
- 7+ years as a Business Analyst on ERP projects.
- Proven experience in logistics, warehouse management, and distribution systems.
- Experience with ERP migration or implementation (Epicor, Aptos, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, etc.).
- Strong understanding of inventory, shipping, receiving, and order fulfillment processes.
- Excellent documentation and process modeling skills.
- Ability to work cross-functionally with technical and business stakeholders.
- Bilingual in French and English, spoken and written.
- Willingness to work on-site initially to understand operational realities.

Why join this project?
- High-impact opportunity within a small, agile, decision-driven team.
- Direct collaboration with the Director of IT.
- Chance to influence a critical ERP transformation.
- Dynamic environment with operational challenges in distribution and logistics.
