We're looking for a forward-thinking General Ledger Technology Analyst to join our ERP/General Ledger technology team. This is not a software development role. We are looking for someone with deep finance and accounting experience who understands how enterprise technology works — not someone who builds it. The ideal candidate brings a strong business and accounting perspective, can translate complex financial processes into clear technology requirements, and thrives in a collaborative, agile environment. You'll be heavily involved in the configuration, testing, and implementation of Oracle Fusion ERP, EPM, and EDM products, working alongside engineers and business partners to deliver solutions that matter.

What You'll Do
• Support General Ledger operations end-to-end — from processing data sent by upstream systems to month-end/year-end close, to downstream reporting and analytics
• Define, analyze, and translate detailed business requirements into technology solutions, partnering closely with engineers, business partners, and product teams
• Contribute to large, multi-department implementations using agile techniques including sprints, backlog grooming, and iterative development
• Manage external system integrations (inbound and outbound feeds), resolve production issues, and support business partners in understanding system capabilities
• Develop test cases, perform user acceptance testing, and validate solutions — engaging in test automation where appropriate
• Support expense allocation processes alongside core General Ledger work
• Coordinate the development and maintenance of accounting operating procedures and training materials
• Identify, manage, and help implement solutions to address risks, issues, defects, and process improvement opportunities across business and technology teams
• Provide analytics and insights in response to business questions, leveraging data tools and emerging technologies including AI
• Mentor teammates, share knowledge generously, and help the team grow collectively

You'll be part of a team that takes real pride in what they do — in the depth of their knowledge, the quality of their work, and the way they support one another. This is a place where your initiative will be noticed, your expertise will matter, and your growth will be supported.

• Three plus years of experience in financial reporting or General Ledger processing within a large organization (5,000+ employees)
• A solid understanding of how enterprise financial systems work — including data flow, balancing, and period-end close — from a business and accounting perspective
• Hands-on experience with Oracle Fusion ERP, or a demonstrated transition from PeopleSoft to a cloud-based ERP solution; EPM and EDM experience is a plus
• Strong working knowledge of Excel; experience with SQL, SAS Enterprise Guide, or similar query tools is ideal
• Familiarity with agile methodologies and tools such as Jira or Agility
• Experience with or curiosity about AI tools — including agentic AI and tools like ChatGPT — for data automation, balancing, or validation
• AWS services experience will be useful
• Someone who takes initiative, coordinates across teams, and doesn't leave colleagues behind
• A clear, confident communicator who speaks up, shares a point of view, and genuinely listens
• A relationship builder who earns trust through follow-through, expertise, and care
• Attention to detail and a growth mindset — you stay curious and keep learning
