Position Summary
This role is the hands-on finance execution arm of Finance Systems. The Senior Analyst works inside an active transformation program spanning ERP upgrades and implementation, a data warehouse buildout, a reporting platform migration, and a pipeline of net-new finance systems including financial close management and treasury management. The work spans configuration, testing, reconciliation, and user enablement across each of these initiatives, from requirements through go-live and into steady-state support.
Under the direction of the Senior Manager, this role operates within established governance frameworks: executing implementation tasks across the full project portfolio, validating controls, flagging issues, and escalating decisions that exceed analyst-level authority. The right person has completed at least one full implementation start to finish and can independently identify and act on what needs to happen at every stage.
Key Responsibilities
1.
Finance Systems Implementation Execution (Primary Focus)
- Execute configuration, testing, and go-live tasks for ERP enhancements, workflow automations, and reporting integrations across finance and capital asset modules.
- Support net-new system implementations (financial close management, treasury management, future finance platforms) by owning requirements validation, configuration testing, UAT execution, and hyper-care support.
- Build and run detailed UAT scripts and regression test suites from scratch across ERP, financial close, treasury, data warehouse, and reporting platforms. This includes designing test scenarios, not only participating in end-user testing.
- Support data warehouse implementation tasks including data migration validation, schema testing, transformation logic verification, and source-to-report lineage checks.
- Support reporting platform migration by validating dimension-to-report mappings, reconciliation workbooks, and multi-entity actuals/budget/prior-year comparatives.
- Perform pre- and post-implementation accounting reconciliations: verify transaction flows, journal entries, depreciation schedules, and sub-ledger-to-GL balancing across entities.
- Execute dimension structure migrations, configuration releases, and master data changes under established change-management protocols.
- Triage and resolve system and posting discrepancies with technical teams, verifying accounting integrity before business sign-off.
- Drive open items to completion with documentation, user enablement, and a clean audit trail. When dependencies stall, advance what can be done independently, document gaps with owners and timelines, and elevate blockers with a recommended path forward.
2.Controls Compliance & Data Integrity
- Validate financial application controls (manual and automated) during and after implementations, aligned to the Finance Systems Governance Framework.
- Perform scheduled data integrity checks across ERP, data warehouse, and reporting layers, identifying and escalating discrepancies before they reach financial reporting.
- Maintain the finance systems change log covering configuration changes, dimension updates, master data modifications, and access changes, keeping the environment audit-ready.
- Support periodic access reviews and SoD assessments under the Senior Manager’s direction, flagging conflicts and recommending remediation.
- Support Silver and Gold-layer schema validation in the data warehouse, verifying transformation logic and source-to-report data lineage.
3.Documentation, Enablement & Stakeholder Engagement
- Package every completed implementation into a complete handover including SOPs, process swim lanes, audit-ready test evidence, and release notes.
- Deliver targeted training walk-throughs and job aids to finance end-users; provide hands-on hyper-care support immediately after deployments.
- Build credibility with business stakeholders by communicating system changes clearly, listening to end-user concerns, and translating technical outc
