Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on ERP configuration, administration, or implementation experience, with at least 3 years in a senior or lead role.

• Strong working knowledge of accounting fundamentals as they are applied within an ERP — including chart of accounts design, journal entry workflows, subledger-to-general-ledger reconciliation, cost center and project accounting, and period-end/year-end close processes; ability to collaborate fluently with Controllers, Staff Accountants, and external auditors
• Deep hands-on experience configuring and optimizing procure-to-pay processes within an ERP — purchase requisitions, PO management, vendor master governance, receiving, three-way match, invoice approval workflows, and payment processing; familiarity with procurement controls required for SOX or similar compliance frameworks
• Demonstrated ability to gather and document business requirements from non-technical stakeholders and translate them into well-architected ERP solutions
• Strong process design background — able to map current-state processes, identify gaps and inefficiencies, and design future-state processes that scale within the constraints of the ERP
• Solid understanding of core finance, supply chain, manufacturing, and procurement processes (quote-to-cash and procure-to-pay end-to-end flows); ability to speak fluently with controllers, ops leaders, and shop-floor users
• Experience leading ERP implementations, upgrades, or major module rollouts end-to-end
• Working knowledge of ERP integration patterns and tooling (REST/SOAP APIs, middleware, iPaaS, ETL); ability to scope and oversee integrations even when implementation is delegated
• Strong grasp of ERP security models, segregation of duties, and internal controls in support of audit readiness (e.g., SOX, ISO 27001, SOC 2)
• Excellent project management skills with the ability to run multiple concurrent workstreams and stakeholder groups
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting trade-offs and recommendations to executives
• Self-directed, pragmatic, and biased toward action — able to operate with limited oversight in a fast-paced, high-growth environment

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end configuration, administration, and ongoing optimization of Apptronik's ERP platform (Microsoft Dynamics 365, Salesforce, SAP, or Oracle), including modules supporting finance, supply chain, manufacturing, procurement, inventory, and order management
• Partner with Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and other internal stakeholders to elicit, document, and prioritize business requirements; translate them into ERP configurations, customizations, workflows, and integrations
• Serve as a functional subject matter expert on core accounting processes within the ERP — including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, cost accounting, fixed assets, period-end close, and financial reporting; partner closely with the Controller and Finance team to ensure the ERP supports accurate, auditable books
• Own the ERP configuration and continuous improvement of the full procure-to-pay cycle — from purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and vendor management through goods receipts, three-way matching, invoice processing, and payment runs; ensure controls are in place to support audit readiness and segregation of duties
• Design, document, and continuously improve business processes that operate within the ERP, ensuring they are scalable, auditable, and aligned with internal controls
• Lead ERP implementation, upgrade, and module rollout projects — including planning, scoping, testing, cutover, hypercare, and post-go-live optimization
• Manage ERP integrations with adjacent systems (CRM, PLM, MES, HRIS, identity, data warehouse, and best-of-breed SaaS tools); coordinate with internal engineering and external implementation partners as needed
• Administer ERP security: roles, profiles, permission sets, segregation of duties, approval workflows, and periodic access reviews in support of audit and compliance
• Develop and maintain master data governance practices across items, vendors, customers, BOMs, and chart of accounts; drive data quality, reconciliation, and reporting standards
• Build and maintain reporting, dashboards, and analytics within the ERP and connected BI tooling to give business leaders timely visibility into operational, procurement, and financial KPIs
