About

I help manufacturing and finance-led organisations turn complex, manual processes into streamlined, system-driven operations. Over the past 5 years, I've worked end-to-end across ERP implementation and business transformation — starting as the sole consultant responsible for a portfolio of 10+ clients across the UK, Europe and the US, and leading five full-cycle ERP implementations (typically £100k+ engagements, ~50 users per site) alongside numerous module-level deployments in finance, manufacturing and supply chain. My work spans the full lifecycle: requirements gathering, As-Is/To-Be process redesign, solution design and configuration, UAT, training, go-live governance, and trusted post-implementation advisory. I've designed and configured financial modules (GL, AR/AP, costing, pricing, management reporting), led API-based system integrations, and presented executive-level ERP and AI use cases at a user conference. I'm currently based in Bengaluru, broadening my functional consulting practice into modern data and analytics — working with AWS-based data modelling, semantic value streams, and KPI design — backed by an MSc in Business Analytics (University of Southampton) and a BCom (Honours) in Finance, and currently pursuing Celonis Academy Foundation and Microsoft Dynamics 365 (MB-310) certifications. Looking for my next role in functional consulting, business analysis or business transformation — ideally with strong mentorship, clear project governance, and exposure to enterprise clients. Open to opportunities in India and UK-remote. Open to a conversation — reach me at samyak14sj@gmail.com.
