On top of a competitive salary, our standard 25 days holiday (which goes up the longer you’re with us), and a matched pension scheme, you’ll also be able to choose from a range of benefits to suit you.

About you: You will be joining Core ERP which is a sub-division within The Access Group’s ERP Division.

This role will focus on building strong partnerships with your engineering and product peers based in the UK and Romania. You will champion a collaborative development approach, driving talent growth, and providing support for excellent engineering practices across our geographically distributed workforce.

Day-to-day, you will:

1. Cross-Team Collaboration: Establish strong, productive relationships with the P&E Managers across our Core ERP products. Facilitate the sharing of best practices, coordinate technical dependencies, and champion engineering excellence throughout.
2. Team Development in Belfast and Romania: Focus on attracting, onboarding, and developing a high-performing engineering talent pool. Provide guidance, mentorship, and clear career paths for engineering staff within their respective product teams.

3. Experience with cloud technologies and DevOps practices is essential.
4. Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to inspire and align teams.
5. Strong commercial acumen with the ability to balance technical priorities with business objectives.
6. Familiarity with ERP & Finance/Accounting is a plus, but not a requirement.

We wholeheartedly believe in equality for all and the transformative power of diversity. Why not join our vibrant team where you can love what you do, love how you live, and most importantly, be authentically you? Let’s make a difference together. Love Work. Love Life. Be You.
