About the Role

Kinetic Custom Trailers is seeking a Business Systems Analyst – ERP & Business Intelligence to help transform business systems and operational data into better visibility, stronger decision-making, and improved organizational performance.

This role sits at the intersection of business operations, systems, and data.

Who You Are 

You’re an analytical, systems-minded problem solver who enjoys understanding what sits behind the numbers and how systems, data, and business performance connect. You’re naturally curious about what the information is telling you and motivated to turn data into clear visibility, meaningful insights, and practical improvements.

Key Responsibilities 

Business Systems & Business Central

• Develop advanced working knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and its use across Kinetic.
• Become a key internal Business Central power user and resource.

• Assist with troubleshooting business-process and system issues by understanding both the operational requirement and underlying system behaviour.

Business Intelligence & Performance Visibility

• Develop and maintain KPIs that provide meaningful visibility into organizational and departmental performance.
• Work with functional leaders to determine what should be measured, why it matters, and how the information should be interpreted.
• Develop dashboards, reports, scorecards, and other performance-management tools.
• Use Power BI, Business Central, Excel, and other tools to make operational information accessible and actionable.
• Improve visibility into performance, capacity, constraints, productivity, quality, schedule attainment, and other key business measures.

Data & Business Analysis

• Analyze operational and business data to identify trends, exceptions, constraints, and improvement opportunities.
• Investigate the underlying factors contributing to changes in business performance.
• Work with departments to understand what performance information means operationally.
• Identify gaps in available data and recommend improvements to how information is captured.
• Validate data accuracy and investigate inconsistencies between systems, processes, and reported results.

Systems & Process Integration

• Work closely with the Process Improvement Specialist to translate improved processes and business requirements into system solutions.
• Evaluate how proposed process changes will interact with Business Central and other business systems.
• Determine system, data, reporting, workflow, and integration requirements associated with improvement initiatives.
• Support the design and implementation of scalable system solutions.
• Identify where technology or automation can reduce manual work, improve controls, or provide better information.
• Help ensure business systems reinforce standardized processes rather than creating additional complexity.

Project & Implementation Support

• Participate in cross-functional business systems and improvement initiatives.
• Support system requirements gathering, solution design, testing, validation, implementation, and adoption.
• Develop testing plans and participate in user acceptance testing.
• Document system requirements, configurations, workflows, and decisions.
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders and external system partners where required.
• Monitor implemented solutions to determine whether they are delivering the intended business outcomes.

Documentation & Knowledge Development

• Maintain business systems documentation, reporting definitions, system procedures, and supporting knowledge resources.
• Document KPI definitions, calculation methodologies, data sources, and reporting logic.
• Develop user guides, training materials, and system documentation.
• Help build organizational understanding of how systems and data should be used.
• Reduce reliance on undocumented institutional knowledge.

Required Qualifications
