• Evaluate current-state processes and design scalable future-state workflows for the general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, fixed assets, cash management, budgeting, reporting, and financial close.
• Develop and manage the project plan, milestones, risks, dependencies, resources, and stakeholder communications.
• Lead chart-of-accounts design, entity and department structures, approval workflows, financial controls, and management-reporting requirements.
• Oversee data cleansing, mapping, migration, reconciliation, and validation to ensure financial information is complete and accurate.
• Coordinate system configuration, integrations, user acceptance testing, issue resolution, cutover planning, and go-live readiness.
• Ensure the new ERP supports strong internal controls, audit requirements, accounting policies, and timely financial reporting.

• Strong command of accounting operations, financial reporting, close processes, consolidations, budgeting, internal controls, and audit requirements.
• Demonstrated experience translating finance and operational needs into ERP requirements, workflows, and reporting solutions.
• Experience managing implementation partners, consultants, cross-functional teams, project timelines, and executive stakeholders.
• Hands-on knowledge of data migration, system testing, reconciliations, cutover planning, and post-go-live support.
