About Proven Strategy

Proven Strategy Ltd is a UK-based ERP, automation and operational systems consultancy and an official Odoo Partner.

We help growing and operationally complex businesses replace fragmented systems, spreadsheets and disconnected processes with joined-up technology that is practical, scalable and commercially sensible.

Our work spans areas including:

• Odoo implementation and configuration
• Business process analysis
• CRM and sales
• Purchasing and supplier management
• Inventory and warehousing
• Accounting
• Manufacturing
• eCommerce
• Integrations
• Workflow automation
• AI
• Selective bespoke development

We work with businesses across sectors including distribution, wholesale, manufacturing, retail, eCommerce and professional services.

What makes Proven Strategy different is that we come from an operational background rather than a purely technical one. The company was built from first-hand experience of running complex businesses and dealing with the problems caused by poor systems, disconnected software and implementations that do not reflect how a business actually works.

Our approach is practical and hands-on. We spend time understanding how a client operates, where the problems are and what can be improved before deciding how Odoo should be configured.

We are a growing, founder-led business working with clients across the UK and internationally, and we are looking to strengthen our Odoo delivery team.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Odoo Functional Consultant to join Proven Strategy on a full-time basis.

This is a hybrid role, predominantly remote, but the successful candidate must be Manchester-based or within easy travelling distance of Manchester.

You will sit at the centre of our Odoo implementation projects, working directly with clients to understand their operations and translate business requirements into effective Odoo solutions.

This is not simply a configuration role.

We are looking for someone who can sit with a client, understand how their business actually works, identify inefficient or manual processes, challenge unclear requirements where appropriate and then design a practical future-state solution within Odoo.

You will work closely with our project management and technical teams throughout discovery, configuration, development, testing, training and go-live.

Key Responsibilities

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading client discovery sessions and functional workshops
• Understanding existing business processes, systems and operational pain points
• Mapping current-state and future-state workflows
• Translating business requirements into practical Odoo solutions
• Configuring Odoo modules in line with agreed requirements
• Advising clients on where standard Odoo functionality can meet their needs
• Identifying areas where processes may need to change rather than immediately relying on custom development
• Identifying genuine gaps requiring Studio configuration, integration or bespoke development
• Producing functional requirements, workflow documentation and Functional Design Documents
• Working closely with developers to define and review custom functionality
• Supporting integrations between Odoo and third-party systems
• Supporting data migration and data validation
• Preparing User Acceptance Testing scenarios
• Coordinating and supporting UAT
• Investigating issues raised during testing and determining whether they relate to process, configuration, data or development
• Delivering client training
• Supporting users through go-live
• Providing post-go-live functional support
• Reviewing existing Odoo implementations and identifying opportunities for improvement
• Managing multiple client workstreams and priorities
