Job description

Be responsible for a business-critical system—and help shape its next chapter.

IFS supports important Finance and Supply Chain processes. As System Owner ERP, you’ll take end-to-end responsibility for the solution: its direction, governance and continued development. You’ll own the system GlobalConnect’s business units rely on, through change and beyond.

GlobalConnect is moving to IFS Cloud, with an external partner supporting the implementation. You’ll join while the new solution is being built, with the opportunity to help shape how it is configured and make your mark from day one. The Cloud implementation is an important part of our journey; your ongoing responsibility will be to ensure the solution continues to develop and create value for our business.

What We’re Looking For

• Around 7–10 years of relevant experience in a comparable ERP or system-owner role.
• Direct experience working with IFS in a technical role, preferably also with IFS Cloud.
• Working knowledge of Finance and Supply Chain processes supported by an ERP; you don’t need to be a process specialist.
• Professional working proficiency in English and strong in stakeholder engagements.

About The Role And Team

IFS-related work makes up approximately 85% of the role, alongside responsibility for some other systems. You’ll join a team of around eight people working across Sweden and Denmark, and report to the Director, ERP & HR Solutions. The role can be based in Stockholm or Uppsala.

You’ll bring the system-owner perspective to the IFS Cloud project, helping ensure the solution is set up well for the business now and in the future. Your role will not be to manage the project, but to concentrate on the solution itself and the long-term ownership it requires.

Your Responsibilities

• Take end-to-end ownership of the ERP solutions and set direction for their ongoing development.
• Help shape the IFS Cloud solution, balancing business needs with maintainability and standard IFS capabilities.
• Create roadmaps and manage demand and priorities for future changes across the portfolio.
• Govern changes and releases, considering impacts on processes, data, reporting, integrations, security and controls.
• Coordinate business readiness for releases, including testing, documentation, training and transition into ongoing support.
• Work with Finance, Supply Chain, IT, vendors and implementation partners to improve processes and help people adopt new ways of working.

Your profile

Deep familiarity with IFS, along with direct technical experience, is particularly important. You can bridge technical teams and the business, build trust with experienced users and managers, and facilitate change by helping people understand decisions and adopt new ways of working. Experience taking a system through a move to the cloud is a plus, not a requirement.

Our recruitment process

• TA screening.
• Interview with Carl, the manager’s manager, before the new manager joins in November.
• Cognitive and logical assessments, followed by feedback.
• In November, there will be a case interview with the Hiring Manager, probably involving a system-based exercise.

Practical information

The role can be based in Stockholm or Uppsala, with at least three days per week in the office. English is sufficient; Swedish is not required. GlobalConnect does not offer relocation packages or work visa sponsorship.
