Job Description:

We are seeking a highly analytical and process-oriented ERP Business Process Analyst to lead the implementation and optimization of our enterprise systems. In this role, you will serve as a vital link between our business units and other IT teams, ensuring that our ERP platform solutions align with the equipment industry’s best practices. Your primary goal is to translate complex business requirements into scalable technical solutions that drive operational efficiency.

As a Business Process Analyst, you must understand the ERP system's technical constraints while working with the business on best practices for business process efficiency. Specifically, this role will be focused on the functional areas of project and product cost management in a complex capital equipment environment with needs that go from a spectrum of engineer-to-order machine solutions to configure-to-order machine products. Broader knowledge that includes additional finance related functions is desired.

Principal Duties and Responsibilities (Essential Functions): 

• Process Mapping & Optimization: Understand "As-Is" workflows and design "To-Be" processes that leverage ERP standard functionalities to eliminate manual work and promote business best practices.
• Requirements Gathering: Lead sessions to define business functional requirements and scope.
• ERP Implementation: In partnership with the broader IT organization, support the full lifecycle of ERP, including functional system configuration, data migration, and system integration.
• Gap Analysis: Identify discrepancies between business needs and system capabilities; recommend "out-of-the-box" solutions vs. custom enhancements as the preferred method, where possible.
• Testing & Quality Assurance: Develop ERP-related business process flows and test scripts to ensure the system meets business criteria. Support the development of training materials for ongoing deployments of the ERP system.
• Change Management: Act as a subject matter expert to train end-users and create documentation that ensures high adoption rates.

Job Specifications:

• Process Knowledge: Deep understanding of project management best practices within engineer-to-order / configure-to-order environments. Strong knowledge of product costing methods (including actual costing), with complementary expertise in upstream production execution as well as broad finance functions. Solid understanding of key master data elements and their relationships influencing those processes.
• Specific Technical: Full understanding of the specific functional area system set up or configuration and its impact on the data and behavior of that respective module. (For example, Project Management and related Cost Management in MS Dynamics terms.)
• General Technical: Proficient in ERP system understanding, data mapping concepts/techniques, MS Office tools, and other related items, such as BI reporting tools.
• Core Competencies
  • Systems Thinking: Ability to see how a change in one module (e.g., Inventory) impacts another (e.g., Finance).
  • Communication: Ability to clearly communicate complex concepts or "tech-speak" into plain English for stakeholders and vice versa.
  • Problem Solving: A proactive approach to solving diverse types of issues including system, business process, and data integrity issues.

Required Education and Experience:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Computer Science, or other technical fields, such as Engineering.
• Experience: 10+ years of combined experience in the above functional areas in either business and/or IT roles, including business analysis, requirements management, and ERP solution design (Microsoft Dynamics preferred; SAP or other ERP system is acceptable)

Preferred Qualifications (In Addition to the Requirements Above):

• Previous experience implementing ERP systems in a capital equipment manufacturing environment
• Direct experience with Microsoft Dynamics ERP implementations
• Deep understanding of Business Process Reengineering (BPR) and Lean methodologies
• Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification for continuous process improvement
