ROLE OVERVIEW

Documentation & Reporting

1. Document all system setups, configurations, and workflows (especially ERP and Google Workspace structures)
2. Provide quarterly reports detailing:

• System performance
• Improvements implemented
• Risks/Issues identified
• Recommendations for the next phase

3. Create user guides and SOPs for staff to ensure proper tool usage and compliance

Stakeholder Management

1. Engage key stakeholders across departments to gather requirements and align ERP functionality with business goals
2. Manage expectations by clearly communicating system capabilities, timelines, and constraints
3. Facilitate regular check-ins with department heads to ensure the ERP system continues to meet evolving needs
4. Act as a bridge between the technical team, management, and end users
5. Support decision-making by providing data-driven insights and system-based recommendations
6. Coordinate with external ERP vendors, consultants, and service providers to ensure the timely delivery of solutions. 

Collaboration & Communication

1. Work closely with leadership and department heads to align IT systems with business operations
2. Train staff on new tools and systems (especially Google Workspace and ERP usage)
3. Communicate technical concepts in a way that non-technical team members can actually understand
4. Provide clear updates and timelines during each quarterly engagement

 Experience & Qualifications

1. Proven experience as an IT Administrator, Systems Engineer, or similar role
2. Strong hands-on experience with ERP Systems (implementation from scratch is a must)
3. Deep understanding of Google Workspace administration and deployment
4. Experience managing system migrations (e.g., Slack to Google Chat or similar platforms)
5. Familiarity with IT systems in SMEs or service-based industries is a strong advantage

Skills & Attributes

1. Strong systems thinking, you don’t just fix problems, you build structure
