️ Senior Functional IFS Consultant – Manufacturing

£450 – £550 Outside IR35

Initial 6 months (18-month programme)

Hybrid – Cambridge (ad-hoc on-site meetings only)

SC Cleared - Senior Functional IFS Consultant – IFS Manufacturing | Hybrid

We are seeking an experienced Senior Functional IFS Consultant with a specialisation in IFS Manufacturing to support a large-scale IFS Apps 10 implementation for a high-profile UK client.

This is an initial 6-month contract (Outside IR35) with strong potential for extension, as the programme is scoped for 18 months.

This hybrid role is primarily remote, with occasional on-site meetings at the client’s Cambridge-based location.

As a Senior Functional Consultant, you will be a key player in driving the successful deployment of IFS Apps 10, focusing heavily on Manufacturing modules. You’ll engage directly with business stakeholders and technical teams to gather requirements, define functional specifications, lead workshops, and help configure and optimise the solution to meet operational goals. This is a fantastic opportunity to be embedded in a project from early stages and influence strategic decisions.

Key Skills and Experience:

• Proven experience as a Functional Consultant on IFS Manufacturing modules (including Shop Orders, Work Centres, Routing, MRP, and Inventory).
• Strong understanding of IFS Apps 10 functionality and configuration.
• Ability to lead workshops, gather business requirements, and translate them into IFS solutions.
• Experience in full lifecycle IFS implementations.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
• Ability to liaise with technical teams to support development and integration efforts.
• Exposure to other IFS modules (such as Supply Chain, Projects, or Finance) would be a plus.
• Current SC Clearance is highly desirable; however, the client is also willing to sponsor eligible candidates through the clearance process.

Applications from candidates with active SC Clearance will be prioritised, but we welcome applications from those eligible for clearance who are interested in going through the process.
