Job Description
This role is ideal for a hands-on manager eager to transform our ERP and finance systems landscape from a small, reactive support team into a modern, business-driven operation that enhances operational efficiency.

Our organization is transitioning to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central as our core ERP platform.
