• Translate accounting and financial requirements into the necessary "financial logic" within ERP and related systems to support a high-performing accounting team with significant demands.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to align processes with business objectives, particularly with the Finance and Accounting teams.

• Serve as the primary translator between business users and IT, gathering requirements, clarifying needs, and ensuring solutions are both technically feasible and operationally sound.

• Systems Evolution

• Own the business intake and prioritization of system enhancements in partnership with IT.

• Translate process requirements into clear, actionable system requirements that meet company standards.

• Collaborate with the BizOps Insights team to define, track, and operationalize key metrics that inform optimization and accountability.
