About The Role…
As a Functional Consultant, you will play a key role in enabling Ipsum to maximise value from its standard ERP capability. Reporting to the Business Central Developer, you will lead triage, map processes, configure out-of-the-box features, and recommend customisations where they deliver clear, measurable benefits. You will work closely with an ERP lead developer and a junior developer to reduce the backlog, improve requirements quality, and strengthen user adoption. This role combines configuration, process analysis, and delivery support to help achieve Ipsum's overall objectives.

…
Configure standard Business Central features across Finance and Projects, including posting setups, dimensions, approvals, templates, roles, and permissions.

Advocate fit-to-standard solutions and define clear criteria for when customisation is justified.

Prepare concise, developer-ready user stories, acceptance criteria, and test cases for items requiring code.

Ensure upgradeability and supportability through disciplined configuration and documentation.

Run discovery workshops and interviews to understand processes, pain points, and desired outcomes.

Produce process maps and fit/gap analysis to distinguish configuration or process changes from development needs.

Define UAT scope and scripts, coordinate testing, and verify solutions meet agreed requirements and data quality standards.

Identify opportunities to resolve requests without code through training, guidance, or small process adjustments.

Act as the liaison between business stakeholders and the technical team to ensure smooth delivery.

Provide clear training materials, run show-and-tell sessions, and drive adoption post-deployment.

Contribute to intake, prioritisation, and release practices in Jira and CAB, with transparent triage rules and benefits tracking.

Support data quality improvements across master data and key transaction flows.

About You…
You will bring hands-on experience across Finance and at least one of Jobs/Projects, Purchasing, Sales, or Inventory, with strong knowledge of posting groups, dimensions, approvals, templates, roles, and permissions. You understand project accounting concepts, have exposure to APIs and integrations, and are aware of AL change impacts. Skilled in process mapping, UAT planning, and creating clear requirements, you deliver value through configuration and process change before custom build. With excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, you are proactive, organised, and confident in fast-paced environments, balancing speed, quality, and maintainability while driving continuous improvement.
