• Minimum of 8–10 years of progressive experience in DoD financial or supply management, Navy ERP consulting, or ERP augmentation support, with at least 3 years in a program or team lead capacity.
• Demonstrated expertise in Navy ERP (SAP ECC or S/4HANA) functional support, particularly within DMAG and/or SMAG operational environments or comparable Navy Working Capital Fund depot maintenance and supply management accounting activities.
• Hands-on experience with Navy ERP at Tier 2 or Tier 3 support levels, with strong functional knowledge of processes and system configurations relevant to depot-level maintenance accounting and supply management operations.
• Strong understanding of Navy ERP modules related to FI, FM, SD, MM, PM, and CO, with demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and advise on cross-functional processes within a DMAG or SMAG context.
• Proven experience managing teams and programs within a DoD financial management, depot maintenance, supply management, or ERP consulting environment.
• Familiarity with the Advana/War Data Platform including experience overseeing or directing the development of data analytics products, dashboards, or decision support tools within a DoD enterprise data ecosystem.
• Ability to bridge Navy ERP functional domain knowledge with data analytics capabilities, translating DMAG and SMAG business and operational requirements into actionable data product specifications for a technical analytics team.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with demonstrated ability to operate effectively across technical, operational, and executive domains.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, Information Systems, or a related field required.
Preferred:
• Familiarity with the financial and supply chain processes unique to Marine Corps or Navy depot activities — including work order costing, reimbursable accounting, and inventory management — and how those processes are represented and managed within Navy ERP.
• Knowledge of DFAS processes, Treasury interfaces, Defense Departmental Reporting System (DDRS), Defense Daily Expenditure File (DDEF), or the Advana analytics platform as they relate to Depot Maintenance Activity Group and Supply Management Activity Group reporting requirements.
