• Develop functional specifications, process documentation, workflows, and training materials; provide end-user training and ongoing functional support for business applications.
• Create and maintain reports, dashboards, and data extracts to support operational and executive decision-making, including ERP integrations with external applications and business intelligence tools.
• Ensure system changes comply with internal controls, cybersecurity policies, and defense industry regulations; participate in ERP upgrades, patches, and data migration activities.

• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Business Administration, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience; excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, and documentation skills; ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

• Knowledge of defense contracting and government compliance requirements (DFARS, FAR, ITAR, CMMC, or NIST 800-171).
• Experience with reporting and business intelligence tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or SSRS; familiarity with API integrations, middleware, or ETL processes.
