  • Design and validate solutions across general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, revenue recognition, cash management, financial reporting, and related finance workstreams. 
  • Support pre-sales activities and proposal development by shaping solution approaches, estimating delivery effort, contributing to statements of work, and presenting solution recommendations to prospective clients. 
  • Mentor junior consultants and architects by providing design guidance, reviewing deliverables, sharing implementation best practices, and supporting professional development across the delivery team. 

Key Skills and Experience: 

  • Ability to translate finance, accounting, and operational requirements into clear functional designs, solution blueprints, and delivery plans. 
  • Strong understanding of Salesforce platform capabilities, data models, integrations, security considerations, reporting, and release management practices. 
  • Experience working with senior finance stakeholders, including CFOs, controllers, finance directors, shared services leaders, and technology sponsors. 
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical and finance concepts to both business and technical audiences. 

Qualifications:

  • Strong finance and accounting process knowledge, including month-end close, procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, billing, revenue management, intercompany, controls, and financial reporting. 
  • Prior experience as a Solution Architect, Delivery Manager, Senior Consultant, or equivalent senior implementation role within a consulting or enterprise technology environment. 
  • Salesforce Administrator certification preferred, with additional Salesforce platform or architecture credentials considered an advantage. 
  • Certinia Financial Management certifications highly desirable, particularly where supported by practical experience designing and delivering Certinia finance solutions.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
