This software implementation job would suit an adaptable, organised ERP Consultant who knows the accounting elements of ERP software, and is keen to move across to a top tier fully cloud based ERP solution. It is work from home, with one day a month in head office and some travel to client sites mainly in the Home Counties area. They have brilliant online project management tools that allow them to implement, train and support their clients remotely in most cases, so there is far less travel than in the old days. To 50k + car allowance, 6 weeks holiday, discount scheme, good social events and a brilliant team to work with. This role is with an ERP solutions company, who are currently resellers of 4 different ERP products, and have 3 UK offices. As an award winning ERP consultancy, they have recently added Acumatica to their offerings. This started as one of their clients needed a strong accounting solution in a particular area and Acumatica fitted the requirement as a solid, cloud based heavyweight finance solution, (which has now proved to be a great addition to their ERP portfolio). You will cover the full project life cycle, from kick-off, requirements gathering and process mapping, application design & configuration, training and implementation, to go-live and post-go live.

Their Consulting Director is a brilliant guy, he is very easy to work with and has a track record of treating the Implementation Consultants very well and therefore they have low staff turnover and a happy, satisfied team.
