ABOUT US

Our purpose is simple: to save lives at sea. 24 hours a day, every day, RNLI lifesavers are ready to launch to the rescue.

Increasingly, we are helping people to stay safe on the water. To do this, our teams need a dedicated, professional, and talented team behind them, and that’s where you come in. This is your chance to join that team and help save lives every day.

The RNLI is undertaking a programme of work to upgrade its Microsoft AX Dynamics ERP estate to a modern technology landscape, with Microsoft Dynamics D365 at its core. We are seeking someone to lead an Applications Support team that will provide second / third line support for our SaaS Solutions, and help us build a centre of excellence to troubleshoot issues and drive value from our applications.
Ongoing updates and support will still be required to our legacy business systems during that period, including AX2012, and we are also needing support to keep our systems fit for purpose during this transition. This role is a technical leader who manages the Business Applications team, delivering support and solutions to assigned business areas across our technology estate. It will involve working with partners and internal customers to troubleshoot applications and software as well as design and deliver in-house end-user guidance and changes to enable transition to the new landscape.
