DEFA is an innovative technology company within the automotive industry, currently in a strong growth phase. We are entering an exciting period of transformation, focused on modernizing and further developing our business platform. As ERP Application Manager, you will play a central role in this journey toward a more digital and integrated future.

Are you looking for a key position where you can shape both systems and business processes in a global organization? Then this might be the right role for you!

About the Role

We are looking for an ERP Application Manager to take ownership of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) and ensure it supports and evolves with the needs of the business.

To succeed in this role, you’ll need a deep understanding of ERP systems, a curious and proactive mindset, and the ability to see both the bigger picture and the finer details. You’ll be part of the IT organization and work closely with the supply chain team and other department heads, acting as a bridge between business needs and technical solutions. You should be able to analyze business requirements, make strategic decisions, and also have the skills to adjust and develop the system yourself when needed.

Initially, your focus will be on the implementation and upgrade project, working alongside project managers, internal teams, and external partners. During this phase, it is essential that you quickly gain a thorough understanding of the system, processes, and business to take long-term ownership of the ERP system once the upgrade is complete.

Key responsibilities:

• Manage and develop Dynamics 365 F&O – ensuring optimal functionality and continuous development in line with business needs
• Oversee integrations and system development – managing connections with other business-critical systems such as EDI, CRM, e-commerce, and Power BI
• Drive process improvements – working with superusers and process owners to analyze business needs and identify opportunities to optimize processes and enhance the ERP system
• Provide support and training – acting as a subject matter expert for superusers and process owners across the organization
• Document procedures and integrations
• Lead future initiatives and integrate additional systems in the next phases of the ERP project

We’re looking for someone who:

Has a solid understanding of business processes within supply chain and finance, brings an analytical and solution-oriented mindset, and actively seeks opportunities for improvement. You have strong communication skills and the ability to translate business needs into effective technical solutions.

You also bring:

• A university degree in information systems or a technical education with a focus on business systems and/or supply chain
• 3–5 years of experience in ERP system management and development, with technical understanding of ERP architecture and system integrations. Experience with Microsoft Dynamics AX / Dynamics 365 F&O is a strong advantage
• Knowledge of EDI, BI systems (e.g., Power BI or QlikSense), and warehouse/production modules is a plus
• Experience in project management and change management
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken – proficiency in Swedish or Norwegian is a plus

We offer:

A position in a future-focused industry at an innovative tech company founded in 1946. Working with us means contributing to the development of tomorrow’s automotive technology, while enjoying the opportunity to grow within a global company with a strong brand and broad offering. We believe in freedom with responsibility and place great importance on your wellbeing. Your home base will be at one of our offices in Stockholm (Kista) or Gothenburg (Hisings Backa).
