• Strong understanding of ERP‑supported Finance processes, including AP, AR, General Ledger, Project Accounting, billing, financial reporting and month‑end activities.
• Experience supporting and improving ERP functionality across Finance, Projects and Procurement, with the ability to learn and administer additional modules as business requirements evolve.
• Experience supporting ERP integrations and middleware solutions, ideally including Celigo or comparable integration technologies.
• Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills, with experience identifying root causes, resolving system and integration issues and coordinating effectively with technical partners and vendors.
• Experience with Power BI or similar business intelligence/reporting tools connected to ERP data sources is preferred.
