Are you a tech-savvy problem-solver with a strong understanding of financial processes such as accounts payable / receivable, general ledger, reconciliations, and reporting?

As our System Administrator, you'll be the go-to person for ensuring our business applications — from ERP to CRM to LMS — run smoothly and efficiently. You'll work closely with multiple departments, especially finance, to understand business needs and translate them into technical solutions that enhance productivity and insight.

The System Administrator is responsible for providing user support, managing business applications, and facilitating operational continuity across software systems. The role includes working closely with stakeholders to understand and translate business requirements, particularly within finance-related processes. A strong foundation in business systems, user support, and process optimisation is essential, with programming knowledge seen as an advantage.

RESPONSIBILITIES :

1. Provide technical and functional support to users across core business applications, including ERP, CRM, CMMS, LMS, and other systems relevant to the industry.
2. Assist with version upgrade management and implementation.
3. Contribute to system documentation, user guides, and training materials.
4. Support and manage ongoing improvement initiatives related to business process automation or optimisation.
5. Administer user accounts, permissions, and roles.
6. Assist in application testing, development, and deployment.
7. Assist with identifying, documenting, and analysing business requirements.
8. Assist with updates to system configurations, workflows, and reports.
9. Utilise SQL, Business Intelligence (BI), and other reporting tools to support data analysis and reporting requirements.

Requirements

1. A relevant IT qualification at a graduate level (e.g., BCom or BSc) in Information Systems, Information Management, or a closely related field.
2. Proven experience in an IT support or system administration role.
3. Strong understanding of financial processes such as accounts payable / receivable, general ledger, reconciliations, and reporting.
4. Exposure to information systems support (e.g., ERP, CRM, CMMS, LMS).
5. Familiarity with Microsoft 365 environment and standard business productivity tools.
