Job Description

MCS Group is looking for an Application Support Analyst to join a busy business support function on an 11-month contract. This role is ideal for someone with a strong understanding of business processes and systems (such as SAP or similar ERP platforms), who enjoys problem-solving, working with data, and supporting colleagues across the organisation.

A formal IT background is not essential- this role would suit someone who understands how a business operates and can quickly get to grips with systems and processes.

The Role

  • Act as a key point of contact for application-related queries, providing first-line support to users, investigating issues, and ensuring systems and data are operating effectively
  • Manage user access, system administration and ongoing maintenance
  • Monitor and maintain data accuracy, ensuring strong data governance
  • Support batch jobs, system interfaces and integrations
  • Work with development teams and third parties to deliver system improvements
  • Maintain helpdesk records and contribute to process documentation
  • Support user training and adoption of systems
  • Identify risks, trends and opportunities through data analysis

The Person

  • Good understanding of core business processes (e.g. sales, purchasing, logistics or finance)
  • Experience using SAP or similar ERP systems (from a user perspective)
  • Strong attention to detail and confidence working with data
  • Ability to learn new systems and processes quickly
  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
  • A background in FMCG or operational environments would be desirable but not essential

Duration: 11 months
Salary: £28,000 per annum
Location: Belfast - Please note, in-office working is required.
