At The Little Potato Company, we're on an exciting transformation journey. We're looking for an experienced *ERP Functional Lead - Finance *to play a critical role in the selection, design, and implementation of our future ERP platform while helping define, standardize, and optimize future-state Finance business processes across our growing North American business.

This is a unique opportunity for a finance professional with strong ERP implementation experience to bridge the gap between Finance, Operations, IT, and external implementation partners. You'll lead the definition of Finance requirements, help modernize financial processes, and ensure our future ERP solution supports the business today and into the future.

Following implementation, you'll become a key steward of Finance ERP processes, master data, governance, reporting, and continuous improvement initiatives.

- Partner with IT to define security, reporting, integration, and master data requirements.
- Deliver a complete, prioritized, traceable, and leadership-approved Finance requirements dataset in support of ERP project milestones and readiness gates.

*Cost Accounting and Manufacturing Finance*

- Define future-state requirements for standard costing, bills of materials (BOMs), routings, inventory valuation, cost allocations, and variance analysis.
- Partner with Operations and Supply Chain to align financial and operational processes.
- Develop requirements for margin reporting, cost-to-serve analysis, planning, forecasting, and financial performance insights.
- Document existing and future-state financial workflows, approval processes, authorization controls, and system governance requirements.

*ERP Selection and Solution Design*
