Business Systems Developer

Location: Ammanford – On-site / Hybrid
Salary: Circa £50,000
Hours: 38 hours per week
Contract: Permanent

Vibe Recruit are working on behalf of a well-established manufacturing business in South Wales to recruit a Business Systems Developer.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who combines strong technical development skills with the ability to understand and improve real operational processes.

Our client already has a solid ERP platform and reporting capability in place, but many critical business activities still sit outside formal systems, relying on spreadsheets, emails, and manual processes that have evolved over time. They are looking for someone who can bridge that gap.

This is not a consultancy role or a short-term project position. The successful candidate will become a key long-term member of the business, responsible for identifying inefficiencies, improving workflows, and building practical technical solutions that make a measurable difference across the organisation.

The role combines business process improvement with hands-on development. You will spend time understanding how teams operate across the business and then designing and building the systems, integrations, and automation tools needed to improve them.

Please note: this is not an IT support or infrastructure role, and it is not a purely analytical position. You will be expected to build solutions as well as identify opportunities for improvement.
