Scope of Work

This team is not responsible for loading data into the system. Once data is in the system, there are separate reconciliations and reporting processes that happen outside the system itself - this team will essentially replicate what a combined company’s reporting would look like, confirm everything works, and flag/adjust where current data formats or processes need to change to support the combined entity. The existing job descriptions reflect the profile the current team was hired against - we’re looking for the same type of candidate, but instead of standard enterprise-only scope, they’ll also support integration testing on the side.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Financial reporting and consolidation experience - this is the priority skill set.
• Integration experience is a plus, but secondary to consolidation experience.
