The Opportunity

Reporting to the ERP Finance Lead, the focus of the Senior Finance Business Analyst role will be to lead the analysis and design of finance-related business processes and solutions for Monash University’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Program. Serving as a key link between finance operations, eSolutions, and the implementation team, you will strengthen business analysis capabilities while providing strategic, authoritative advice across financial transactions, reconciliations, reporting, system configuration, and control environments.

As the successful candidate, you will be responsible for:
