This is a critical technical role within our newly established Digital team in Belfast, instrumental in ensuring end to end stability and performance of our Digital Finance Solution with a primary focus on ERP (SAP) solution.. You'll be the on-site digital representative for the digital finance solutions providing a vital link between our local Belfast site and the central ERP Centre of Excellence (CoE) for all these subjects.
