Job description

Trinity Industries is searching to fill the open position of Financial Business Systems Analyst in our Dallas, Texas office. This role is ideal for a finance and accounting professional with strong ERP experience who will serve as the primary bridge between the business and our existing MRP/ERP suite (financials, supply chain, manufacturing, and inventory). Infor LX experience is a plus but not required; candidates with a strong finance and accounting background and experience with any major ERP will be given full consideration.

This role sits at the intersection of Finance, Accounting, and IT; requiring someone who speaks the language of the business, understands how supply chain and manufacturing activity drives accounting results, and can ensure operational data flows accurately into the General Ledger. Looking ahead, this person will be a key contributor to any future LX-to-Oracle Cloud migration initiative.

Join our team and be a part of Delivering Goods for the Good of All!

What you'll do:

• Serve as the functional subject matter expert for the LX application, supporting Accounting and Finance on day-to-day system issues, configuration, transaction processing, and the end-to-end flow of data from supply chain and manufacturing activity into the Oracle Cloud General Ledger
• Uncover needs that business partners and end users would not be able to articulate on their own
• Develop business cases and communicate the operational value, risks, and expected outcomes of system enhancements, support initiatives, and transformation projects
• Translate Finance and Accounting requirements into functional specifications, test scenarios, configuration changes, and controls that enable accurate transaction processing and reliable financial results
• Manage workstreams across the full solution lifecycle, from discovery and design through testing, deployment, and stabilization
• Support future LX-to-Oracle Cloud migration by documenting current-state processes and configurations, validating requirements from a Finance and Accounting perspective, and assisting with testing, data migration, and cutover
• Own the accounting integrity of LX supply chain and manufacturing transactions, ensuring subledger activity (inventory valuation, costing, payables, receivables, intercompany) reconciles accurately to Oracle Cloud GL
• Partner with IT, vendors, and managed services to ensure solution quality, issue resolution, and successful delivery of enhancements

What you'll need:

• Bachelor’s degree in business, Finance, Accounting, or technical discipline required/MBA HIGHLY PREFERRED
• 5+ years in finance, accounting, or ERP business systems roles with direct involvement in financial close cycles, ERP configuration or support, and process improvement
• Functional knowledge of ERP financial modules (GL, AP, AR, Cost Management, Inventory Accounting) and how supply chain and manufacturing activity drives accounting results; experience with any major ERP is valued; Oracle Cloud ERP exposure is a plus
• Solid consultative and relationship-building skills
• Strong understanding of core Accounting and Finance processes – GL, cost accounting (standard and actual costing), AP, AR, inventory valuation, intercompany, and period-close; direct experience supporting plant or corporate accounting teams is a significant plus
• Ability to trace financial transaction flows from operational source activity (purchasing, manufacturing, inventory) through a subledger accounting layer into a General Ledger, including reconciliation and period-close verification
• Knowledge of Sarbanes-Oxley and general audit requirements

Highly preferred skills:

• Bilingual English/Spanish a plus for communications with business units in Mexico
• Infor LX familiarity: chart of accounts design, multi-currency configuration, period-end procedures, and working knowledge of IDF/Powerlink and EGLi subledger accounting rule setup are all a plus - but a strong finance background combined with experience on any major ERP (SAP, Oracle, JDE, etc.) is equally valued
• Functional accounting background (corporate or plant) - prior experience as a Cost Accountant, Senior Accountant, or ERP/Systems Analyst supporting Finance is ideal and positions this person as a credible partner to the business and a knowledgeable contributor to any future LX-to-Oracle Cloud migration
