• Support third-party applications and integrations, including Avalara, Salesforce, MuleSoft, and Concur.
• Coordinate testing, troubleshoot system issues, collaborate with vendors, and develop training resources to encourage user adoption.
• Act as the bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders, championing change management and continuous improvement.

• Experience participating in at least two full-lifecycle implementations of a Tier 1 ERP platform (SAP, Oracle, etc.).
• Demonstrated experience developing and maintaining complex Epicor BPMs.
• Ability to translate business requirements into technical solutions and effectively communicate with both technical teams and business stakeholders.
