“This is a site‑based role, employees work 3+ days (60%+) per week from a Viasat office or work location within a standard five‑day workweek.” 

What you'll need:

• Education & Experience: 4 to 5 years of techno-functional experience in time-and-labor systems within multi-country or multi-tenant environments.

• Citizenship Requirement: U.S. Citizenship is required.

• Core Technical & System Expertise:

  • Strong expertise in Oracle OTL (Oracle Time & Labor) and Oracle EBS (integrations with Project Accounting and General Ledger).

  • Familiarity with alternative platforms such as Infor WFM, UKG, and Workday (beneficial as we conduct platform RFPs).

  • Experience with custom interfaces like PowWow Timecard.

• Technical & Scripting Skills:

  • Proficiency in SQL and PL/SQL troubleshooting.

  • Knowledge of Infor APIs and developing rules using Groovy is a plus.

• Reporting Tools: Experience with reporting and analytics tools such as Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) and Cognos.

• Functional & Soft Skills:

  • Strong background in requirements gathering, documentation, system configuration, and pay rules setup.

  • Excellent analytical thinking and effective verbal and written communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.

What will help you on the job:

• Strategic Forward-Thinking (RFP & Modernization): Because we are evaluating enterprise platforms for the future, the ideal candidate doesn't just maintain the current Oracle/Infor setup—they bring a forward-looking mindset to help us assess, design, and transition toward our next-generation T&A architecture.

• Global & Cross-Cultural Agility: As we scale initiatives like our multi-country FTO rollout across 30+ regions, success requires navigating complex, region-specific labor rules and harmonizing requirements across diverse international stakeholders.

• Proactive Problem-Solving & Data Curiosity: The best analysts go beyond fixing tickets—they dig into SQL queries and reporting data (OBIEE/Cognos) to identify systemic root causes, prevent recurring payroll discrepancies, and optimize workflows before they impact the business.

• Adaptability in a Lean Environment: Operating in a fast-paced, lean team means being comfortable pivoting quickly, balancing daily operational support with high-impact project milestones, and collaborating seamlessly across cross-functional engineering groups.
