Job Description:

A regulated life sciences organisation is seeking a Business Systems professional to take ownership of its ERP and finance systems within a global pharmaceutical supply chain environment.

This is a hands‑on, operational role focused on the day‑to‑day support and stability of core systems, rather than a large‑scale transformation programme. The successful candidate will play a key role in keeping critical applications running smoothly, managing controlled change, and ensuring ongoing compliance and audit readiness.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own day‑to‑day operational support of the ERP system across Finance and Supply Chain
  • Manage user support and incident resolution via a ticketing or service board process
  • Troubleshoot issues directly as system administrator and coordinate third‑line support with external vendors where required
  • Manage change requests including intake, prioritisation, impact assessment, backlog management and release planning
  • Track work items and releases using tools such as Azure DevOps or equivalent
  • Execute controlled delivery activities across assess, design, build, test and deploy phases
  • Support computer systems validation activities in line with internal SOPs for GxP‑regulated systems
  • Maintain audit readiness and documentation for validated SaaS systems
  • Act as a bridge between business users and technical delivery, working closely with Finance and Supply Chain stakeholders
  • Maintain awareness of integrated finance applications such as expenses management, procurement or financial planning tools

Candidate Profile

  • Experience supporting or owning an ERP or business systems environment in a hands‑on run role
  • Background in pharmaceutical, biotech or life sciences environments preferred
  • Working knowledge of computer systems validation and change control in GxP‑regulated settings
  • Comfortable managing validated SaaS or COTS enterprise systems with strong documentation discipline
  • Experience managing change backlogs and releases using tools such as Azure DevOps or similar
  • Strong stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to work closely with non‑technical business users
  • Experience coordinating with third‑party support or vendor partners
  • Pragmatic, service‑focused and comfortable balancing multiple priorities

What’s on Offer

  • Permanent position within a growing life sciences organisation
  • Salary guidance of £70,000–£50,000, with flexibility for strong experience
  • Hybrid working with regular London office presence

If you are an ERP or Business Systems professional looking for an operationally critical role in a regulated environment, this could be an excellent next step.
