Job Description:

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.

Key Responsibilities

Process Improvement

• Work closely with teams across logistics, finance, planning, sales, purchasing, and production
• Analyse and map existing workflows to identify inefficiencies, duplication, and unnecessary manual tasks
• Recommend and implement process improvements across the business
• Track and report on operational improvements and efficiencies delivered

Development & Systems Integration

• Develop APIs and integrations between business systems to automate manual processes
• Build internal applications and tools to support operational teams
• Own solutions end-to-end from design and development through to deployment and maintenance
• Work with AI and automation tools to streamline workflows and improve efficiency
• Produce clean, maintainable, and well-documented code

Ownership & Governance

• Review and take ownership of existing internally developed tools and applications
• Improve documentation, structure, and development standards
• Help establish a sustainable and scalable approach to internal development

About You

Essential Experience

• Strong analytical and problem-solving capability
• Experience developing APIs, integrations, and internal business applications
• Solid SQL/database experience
• Comfortable working across both technical and operational environments
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage non-technical stakeholders
• Self-motivated and capable of managing priorities independently
• Practical and commercially minded in your approach

Desirable Experience

• Manufacturing or industrial sector experience
• Exposure to ERP systems from either a user or integration perspective
• Experience working with AI APIs or workflow automation tools
• Knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement methodologies

Personal Attributes

• Curious and observant with a natural interest in how businesses operate
• Pragmatic and solutions-focused
• Comfortable challenging inefficient ways of working
• Adaptable and resilient in a changing environment
• Credible communicator who can build trust across departments

What's on Offer?

• A genuine opportunity to shape and improve how a business operates
• Visible impact across multiple departments
• Ownership of projects from concept through to delivery
• Access to modern development and AI tools
• Long-term career stability within an established business
• Supportive leadership team with strong technical understanding
• Flexibility as the role evolves and systems mature
