• 5+ years in finance, accounting, or ERP business systems roles with direct involvement in financial close cycles, ERP configuration or support, and process improvement

• 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

• 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
