About the role
We are seeking a forward-thinking General Ledger Technology Analyst to join our ERP/General Ledger technology team. This role is not a software development position but rather someone with deep finance and accounting experience who understands how enterprise technology works.
Responsibilities
- Support General Ledger operations end-to-end — from processing data sent by upstream systems to month-end/year-end close, to downstream reporting and analytics
- Define, analyze, and translate detailed business requirements into technology solutions, partnering closely with engineers, business partners, and product teams
- Contribute to large, multi-department implementations using agile techniques including sprints, backlog grooming, and iterative development
- Manage external system integrations (inbound and outbound feeds), resolve production issues, and support business partners in understanding system capabilities
- Develop test cases, perform user acceptance testing, and validate solutions — engaging in test automation where appropriate
- Support expense allocation processes alongside core General Ledger work
- Cook up accounting operating procedures and training materials
- Identify, manage, and help implement solutions to address risks, issues, defects, and process improvement opportunities across business and technology teams
- Provide analytics and insights in response to business questions, leveraging data tools and emerging technologies including AI
- Mentor teammates, share knowledge generously, and help the team grow collectively
Qualifications
- Three plus years of experience in financial reporting or General Ledger processing within a large organization (5,000+ employees)
- A solid understanding of how enterprise financial systems work — including data flow, balancing, and period-end close — from a business and accounting perspective
- Hands-on experience with Oracle Fusion ERP, or a demonstrated transition from PeopleSoft to a cloud-based ERP solution; EPM and EDM experience is a plus
- Strong working knowledge of Excel; experience with SQL, SAS Enterprise Guide, or similar query tools is ideal
- Familiarity with agile methodologies and tools such as Jira or Agility
- Experience with or curiosity about AI tools — including agentic AI and tools like ChatGPT — for data automation, balancing, or validation
- AWS services experience will be useful
- Someone who takes initiative, coordinates across teams, and doesn't leave colleagues behind
- A clear, confident communicator who speaks up, shares a point of view, and genuinely listens
- A relationship builder who earns trust through follow-through, expertise, and care
- An attention to detail and a growth mindset — you stay curious and keep learning
