IT Business Product Analyst
About The Job
We are seeking an IT Business Product Analyst to join our Enterprise Solutions. In this role, you will work directly under the guidance of our Product Owners to support the daily operational and functional health of our financial ERP modules. This collaborative and supportive position serves as the Product Owners' "right hand," converting business function requirements into practical system configurations, resolving business event-driven transactional problems, and providing strong data analysis competencies to the department.
This environment is ideal for a detail-oriented analyst eager to gain profound expertise in transitioning from Oracle EBS to Oracle Cloud Fusion while managing essential financial workflows.
Responsibilities
- Support the Product Owners: Work closely with the Product Owners to execute the day-to-day backlog. Handle the "boots-on-the-ground" analysis, troubleshooting, and system support that keeps our financial application modules running.
- Maintain Transactional Integrity: Support the flow of data through the system. Ensure that transactions process correctly and integrate seamlessly across the environment, moving from sub-ledgers (Fixed Assets, Project Costing) into the General Ledger. Support foreign currency-related transactions.
- Module & Process Support: Provide dedicated support for Accounts Receivable, Collections, Credit Management, General Ledger, Cash Management, Project Costing, and Fixed Assets. Investigate discrepancies, reconcile data, and ensure that our business functions have the system tools they need to operate.
- Assist in System Design: Contribute to small-scale design improvements and system configurations, helping to bridge the gap between current business requirements and system capabilities.
- Continuous Learning: Actively develop your skills in the Oracle ecosystem. Under the mentorship of the Product Owners, bridge the gap between your current technical knowledge and the future-state capabilities of Oracle Cloud Fusion.
- Functional SME Support: Provide functional assistance for core financial modules. Own the resolution of system issues, testing of patches, and daily configuration maintenance.
- Integration Governance: Monitor and maintain integration points across financial functions. Lead root-cause analysis when an integration fails, working with technical teams to ensure accurate cross-module data flow.
- Testing & Quality Assurance: Participate in testing cycles (UAT) for system patches, upgrades, and new feature deployments, ensuring that changes maintain the integrity of the accounting architecture.
- Documentation: Maintain functional documentation, standard operating procedures, and "how-to" guides for the business functions supported by our ERP modules.
- Proactive Problem Solving: Identify bottlenecks in financial workflows and bring them to the Product Owners with proposed solutions.
Requirements
- Education: Bachelor's Degree in Finance, Accounting, MIS, or related field.
- Experience: 3–5 years of experience as a Business Analyst, Application Configurator, or Software Support Analyst, preferably in a Tier 1 Financial or ERP support environment.
- Functional Acumen: A solid foundation in accounting principles (GL, Fixed Assets, Project Costing, AR, Collections, Inter-company, Close & Consolidation). You must understand how financial transactions work in a global integrated system environment.
- Transactional Fluency: An aptitude for troubleshooting. You enjoy figuring out "why" a transaction didn't post or "why" a balance is off. You enjoy working with cloud-based complex business application software designed to enable a global enterprise to operate, and you are data-driven to find the answer.
- Collaborative Spirit: You thrive in a support role. You take direction well from your Product Owners, communicate clearly, and enjoy working as part of a team to achieve project and operational goals.
- Software Fluency: Experience with Oracle EBS or Oracle Fusion (preferable) is a strong preference. If you have experience in one, you must have the desire and capacity to learn the other.
Benefits
- Great Company Culture: Our people share a competitive drive for excellence in an environment of trust, teamwork, open-mindedness, and communication.
- Safety: Industry leader in health and safety standards. We are committed to creating a safe work environment and protecting all employees and customers.
- Meaningful Work: Our aggregates are used to build roads, schools, hospitals, airports, and housing throughout the United States.
- Health Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision programs, plus much more.
- Rest and Relaxation: Paid vacation, personal floating days, and paid holidays.
