We are looking for an experienced Odoo ERP Specialist to lead the implementation, configuration, and continuous improvement of Odoo across all business functions at Solviva. This role serves as the primary bridge between internal teams and the Odoo platform—translating real-world business processes into efficient, scalable ERP workflows.

3. Cross-Functional Facilitation & Change Management
- Serve as the primary liaison between all internal departments and the digital/tech team for ERP-related matters.
- Facilitate discovery workshops, requirements-gathering sessions, and UAT (User Acceptance Testing) cycles with stakeholders.
- Lead training sessions and create user guides to drive Odoo adoption across the organization.
- Champion change management best practices to ensure smooth transitions during new module rollouts or process changes.
4. Integration & Automation
- Design and manage integrations between Odoo and third-party systems (e.g., Google Workspace, Supabase, n8n, payment gateways, and monitoring platforms).
- Build and maintain automated workflows using Odoo Studio, server actions, and external automation tools to reduce manual effort and improve data accuracy.
- Troubleshoot integration issues and ensure data consistency across connected platforms.
5. System Administration & Continuous Improvement
- Monitor system performance, manage user access and security roles, and ensure data integrity within Odoo.
- Stay current with Odoo releases, community modules, and ERP best practices to continuously enhance system capabilities.
