  • Configure and maintain system validations and workflows to support evolving federal regulations and sponsor requirements, including NSF, NIH, USDA, and other compliance standards.
  • Collaborate with leadership and stakeholders to identify opportunities for process improvement, automation, and enhanced reporting capabilities.
  • Develop and maintain system documentation, business processes, and training materials to support successful adoption of system enhancements and transitions.
  • Lead "train-the-trainer" initiatives and support change management efforts across the research community.
  • Monitor system performance, user feedback, and emerging industry trends to inform continuous improvement efforts.
  • Support reporting and data visualization activities to translate research administration data into actionable insights for leadership decision-making.
  • Support audit readiness activities by ensuring accurate system configurations, data integrity, and compliance documentation.
  • Participate in vendor user groups, professional organizations, and research administration communities to stay informed on best practices and emerging technologies.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Systems, Research Administration, or a related field.
  • 7+ years of experience in research administration, enterprise systems management, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in a leadership, Product Owner, Product Manager, or similar strategic systems role.
  • Experience supporting enterprise-level software implementations, preferably within research administration, ERP, or higher education environments.
  • Expert understanding of the research grant lifecycle, including pre-award, post-award, and compliance functions.
  • Strong understanding of enterprise systems architecture, integrations, and data governance principles.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and influence stakeholders without direct supervisory authority.
  • Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret complex data and identify operational trends.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences, including faculty and senior leadership.
  • Ability to balance strategic planning with operational execution in a dynamic environment.
  • Strong organizational and project management skills with attention to detail and compliance requirements.
