Drive Operations Deployment Lead - Factories

This is an 18-month fixed-term contract based in any of the main Rotork locations within the UK (Bath, Leeds, or Manchester). There is an expectation of travel, within Europe and intercontinentally as required.

Context:

Rotork has embarked on project DRIVE, a programme to migrate each of its global factories and selling entities from their legacy ERP systems onto D365. This role will be part of the Operations DRIVE deployment team who are supporting all global sites in their transition over the next three years.

Rotork is deploying the D365 ERP suite across all its global factory and subsidiaries. This role is responsible for defining the operational solution for each local factory, utilising the standard system solution for operations and finance. Working with the deployment leads for Engineering, Finance, and IT, you will assess the gaps for implementing the standard D365 solution, work with the local management teams to create a plan to close the gaps, create the training & communications required to manage the change & lead the operational implementation of the solution through the testing and cutover cycles.

Rotork will be deploying D365 to 3-5 factories at the same time, and therefore there will be 2 DRIVE Operations Deployment Leads, each responsible for a squad of SMEs, that will need to work together to ensure each factory deployment is correctly defined, resourced, and executed.
