- Sales: lead-to-quote, contract approval, opportunity management
- Accounting: quote-to-cash, accounts receivable, expense reporting, month-end close
- Ensure all documentation follows a consistent brand voice and technical format
- Conduct gap analysis comparing current processes to industry best practices and internal compliance requirements
- Integrate "check and balance" controls to reduce financial errors and data entry discrepancies
Required Qualifications
- 3–5 years of experience in business process improvement (BPI), technical writing, or operations
- Strong understanding of the sales funnel and General Accounting Principles (GAAP)
- High proficiency in Salesforce (CRM) and SAP (ERP), with specific experience at the integration points between the two platforms
- Proficiency with process mapping tools: Lucidchart, Visio, or Miro
- Ability to translate complex technical actions into simple, readable prose for end-users
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable interviewing stakeholders at all levels
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in manufacturing, industrial, or automation/equipment environments
