Enterprise Resource Planning Manager-Business Central

Description

About Us:

Rand Technology is fast-growing semiconductor distribution and brokerage company undergoing a major digital transformation. We are implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with Dynamics CE as CRM as our global ERP platform to modernize operations, finance, supply chain, and reporting capabilities. Our mission is to build a scalable, integrated Microsoft-centric ecosystem that drives operational excellence, visibility, and data-driven decision-making across the organization. 

Role Summary 

We are seeking a hands-on ERP Manager for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to play a critical role in the implementation, configuration, and ongoing ownership of our upcoming ERP platform.

This role is not a purely managerial position. We are looking for a tactical, detail-oriented ERP leader who will:

· Work day-to-day inside the system

· Act as the primary liaison between business users, IT leadership, and the implementation partner

· Provide hands-on configuration and validation

· Drive requirements, testing, and user adoption

You will work closely with the CIO and serve as the internal owner and operator of Business Central, ensuring the system is configured correctly, aligned with business needs, and successfully adopted across the organization.

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship. Preferred location is Irvine, CA but we will consider a remote employee anywhere in the US (with some travel requirements during implementation phase)
