    • Translate complex business requirements into scalable technical solutions — from concept to adoption
    • Align finance teams around standardized KPI definitions and unified reporting
    • Guide UAT for new functionality, system upgrades, and integrations
    • Identify gaps in current solutions and partner with IT/business to close them
    • Build strong relationships with Finance and IT stakeholders, and communicate ideas clearly to senior leadership

    What you bring

    • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field
    • 7+ years of experience across Finance systems and processes (SAP, Datasphere, Azure Data Lake, Power BI, FP&A/EPM tools)
    • Hands-on experience with SAP ERP and SAP S/4HANA
    • Hands-on experience with SAP Datasphere (data modeling, warehousing, integration, governance)
    • Strong understanding of core Finance processes (Record to Report, Tax, Treasury, Asset Accounting)
    • OneStream or similar planning platform experience a plus
    • Self-starter who thrives with autonomy and shifting priorities
    • Excellent communicator — able to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders
    • Strong problem-solving and system design skills
