Overview
Change Business Partner - MRP
Location: MexicoorUS based remote with travels
Employment: 12 month project based role
Role Overview:
The Change Business Partner will lead the people-side implementation of strategic transformation across manufacturing operations. This includes driving the adoption of new systems, processes, and behaviours that enhance efficiency, safety, and growth. A key focus will be supporting the deployment and behavioural integration of standard costing across manufacturing sites, ensuring consistency in cost control, performance tracking, and margin visibility. The role requires a strong understanding of manufacturing, ERP (notably Microsoft D365), and change facilitation to support both people and site-level transitions.
Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead and support change initiatives linked to process improvements and ERP projects, with a particular focus on standard costing.
- Partner with finance, operations, and systems teams to make sure costing methods are understood, applied consistently, and support effective cost control.
- Help operational leaders move from legacy costing approaches to standardised cost models, explaining the impact on reporting, performance measurement, and profitability.
- Work with local teams to build understanding of how standard costs are created and maintained, including bill of materials (BOM) accuracy, labour and machine rates, and overhead allocation.
- Deliver training and capability-building activities that strengthen cost awareness and accountability across production and planning teams.
- Act as the link between Global Process Owners, finance teams, and manufacturing sites, turning costing policy into practical day-to-day processes within D365.
- Support the accuracy and integrity of costing data by identifying gaps in processes, systems, and reporting, and helping teams put the right controls in place.
- Drive adoption of new ways of working, making sure standard costing becomes embedded in decision-making rather than simply a finance exercise.
Qualifications
Requirements:
- Experience delivering change management within an industrial or manufacturing environment.
- Understands and leads for the to-be processes and ways of working.
- Understanding and advocating good practices in principle and in detail for a range of topics especially standard costing (cost build-up, cost drivers, variance analysis, cost updates) and margin management, but also MRP, planning, and warehousing.
- Experience supporting or deploying standard costing frameworks within ERP systems (especially Microsoft D365), including training, data validation, and cost centre alignment.
- Ability to engage both finance and non-finance teams in understanding the operational impact of cost changes, cost performance, and product profitability.
- Proven ability to build relationships and influence frontline teams, middle management, and senior leaders.
- Strong communication and facilitation skills, particularly in operational and technical contexts.
- Experience with ERP systems (JD Edwards, Microsoft D365) is a strong advantage.
- Comfortable working at different levels of the organisation.
- Flexible to adapt to the changing business needs of the projects.
- Serves as best practice/quality resource within Standard costing and ERP Transformations.
Qualifications and Behaviours:
- Aptitude to learn and adapt, seeing change opportunities and encouraging others to seek positive change.
- Change Management or Lean Six Sigma certification (Green Belt or higher) is an advantage.
- Minimum 5 years of experience in finance management or transformation, or multi-site general management roles within manufacturing or industrial sectors.
