The IT Financial Consultant serves as a strategic bridge between technology and finance, providing expert guidance on ERP system design, implementation, and optimization across manufacturing and back-office operations. This role is critical to ensuring that financial processes — from general ledger and accounts payable through accounts receivable and credit decisioning — are accurately reflected in enterprise systems and aligned with the operational realities of a multi-billion dollar, publicly traded manufacturing organization. The ideal candidate combines deep financial acumen with hands-on ERP experience and the ability to translate complex system architecture into clear, actionable guidance for executive and operational stakeholders.

Project Management
- Manage single and concurrent projects from initiation through delivery, including scope definition, timelines, and stakeholder communication
- Develop and maintain project plans, status reports, risk logs, and change management documentation
- Coordinate cross-functional teams including IT, finance, operations, and external vendors
- Escalate issues proactively and maintain accountability for project milestones and outcomes
Communication & Stakeholder Engagement
- Communicate technical and financial system concepts clearly to executive, management, and operational audiences
- Produce high-quality written deliverables including business requirements, functional specifications, process documentation, and executive summaries
- Present findings, recommendations, and project status to senior leadership with clarity and confidence
- Facilitate workshops, working sessions, and training for end users and cross-functional teams
