The posting

The Opportunity

We're looking for a Business Systems Manager who can help us strengthen how we use systems, data and AI across the business - working across departments to identify opportunities, improve how we work and deliver technology-enabled solutions that make a genuine difference.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced business systems professional who enjoys variety, working with a wide range of departments, understanding how technology can solve business challenges and turning ideas into practical improvements. You'll have the opportunity to shape how our systems develop as OpenWorks grows, working closely with departmental leaders and our IT team to improve efficiency, quality, data and organisational effectiveness.

Who We Are

OpenWorks is a rapidly growing business operating globally with a passion for exceptional engineering and building on a legacy of defence innovation in the North East of England.

Our products provide ultra-high performance, real-time detection, tracking, identification and targeting of dynamic aerial threats. They have been deployed internationally to protect high profile military and civilian assets, and contribute towards the defeat of nuisance, misguided and maliciously deployed drones during operations.

We are very proud to have supported a wide range of law enforcement and military operators, protecting many of the most high profile sites and individuals around the world.

The amazing things we do are only possible because of a dedicated and passionate team.

Security Vetting Information

OpenWorks Engineering operates within the defence sector. As part of our recruitment and onboarding processes, we collect information that may be required to support future security vetting and clearance requirements, should these become necessary during employment.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
