Senior Functional Analyst - ERP

Function

We’re looking for a Senior Functional Analyst to join our client’s team for a major transformation project: the replacement of the current ERP/accounting solution within an evolving business context. You translate business needs into workable technical solutions by turning complex requirements into clear, detailed functional specifications.

Role & context

You’ll act as the bridge between finance/operations stakeholders and IT delivery teams, balancing business objectives, technical feasibility and user experience. Proven hands-on functional analysis experience in ERP and/or accounting systems is mandatory—candidates without this background will not be considered.

Responsibilities

• Analyse and document functional requirements, specifications, use cases and process flows, with a strong focus on finance processes such as:
  • general ledger (GL)
  • accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR)
  • cost allocation
  • financial reporting
• Perform gap analyses between current and target ERP/accounting capabilities and identify improvement opportunities within the existing landscape
• Maintain documentation on integrations between the ERP/accounting system and other internal/external systems, including support for data migration and integration activities
• Design and execute functional test scenarios for financial workflows; coordinate UAT and validate that delivered solutions meet requirements
• Facilitate workshops and design sessions with finance stakeholders and IT teams; serve as a proactive liaison between business, developers and technical experts
• Co-lead an external implementation team for the integration of the new ERP/accounting system and the migration from the legacy solution (from planning and coordination through delivery and go-live support)
• Train end users on new ERP functionality and updated finance processes; support production issues and analyse change requests
• Provide functional leadership to the development team during planning, estimation and delivery of related development work
• Mentor/guide other analysts supporting the project

Ideal candidate

• Senior-level experience (typically ~8+ years) in functional and/or business analysis
• Demonstrable experience analysing ERP and/or accounting systems (non-negotiable)
• Strong requirements engineering skills: use cases, process modelling, UML and/or mock-ups, conceptual modelling, BPM
• Comfortable working in Agile environments and using JIRA & Confluence
• Strong stakeholder management, communication and analytical skills
• Experience leading development teams from a project management perspective is a plus
• Domain knowledge of a Belgian recycling ecosystem is a plus

Language requirements

• Dutch: professional working proficiency (project environment is mainly Dutch-speaking
