ERP Implementation & Expansion:

• Support the implementation of new ERP modules and functionality, including Human Resources, Payroll, and future Workday initiatives.
• Assist with configuration, data conversion, integrations, testing, and departmental transition activities.

Testing & System Maintenance:

• Test system updates, configuration changes, integrations, and new functionality.
• Document results, identify issues, validate system data, and assist with Workday releases and enhancements.

Training & Documentation:

• Provide user training and hands‑on assistance for existing and newly implemented ERP functionality.
• Develop and maintain SOPs, job aids, FAQs, and ERP resources for County employees.

Preferred (Not Required):

• Experience with ERP or financial systems such as Workday.
• Experience supporting finance, payroll, budget, or procurement functions.
• Basic understanding of databases, system interfaces, or data imports/exports.

SKILLSET & OTHER QUALIFICATIONS:

• Working knowledge of accounting and financial processes.
• Strong attention to detail, particularly when working with financial and transactional data.
• Basic technical aptitude and ability to learn enterprise software systems.
• Ability to follow structured processes and document work clearly.
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively with non‑technical staff.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and other standard office applications.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
