Primary Responsibilities
Configuration & Solution Design
- Configure and maintain OneStream and other finance cloud-based tools to support planning, budgeting, forecasting, consolidation, and reporting, including building and maintaining cubes, dimensions, accounts, business rules, workflows, and reports so the platform reflects how the business actually operates.
- Design and maintain data and account structures and hierarchies that underpin reliable planning and reporting as the business, portfolio, and reporting needs change.
- Translate business logic into system configuration by building rules/coding, forecasting methods, budgeting logic, calculations, and reports into accurate, well-controlled setup that produces reliable numbers and reporting.
- Package and promote configuration changes into repeatable, controlled deployments across development, test, and production. Coordinate with the Technology team as needed on system architecture, security, broader data governance, and interfaces.
- Implement smaller finance cloud hosted solutions by leading and supporting the integration and partnering with the Technology team as needed.

Business Translation & Finance Partnership

This includes supporting planning, budgeting, and month-end close and developing and maintaining dashboards and reporting (e.g., via Power BI).
- Apply finance and accounting business context (e.g., how budgets are built, forecasts cycle, accounts roll up, and the close and consolidation work) to properly capture business intent and requirements and designing system and reporting solutions to meet business needs. This includes supporting finance process improvement initiatives.
- Document configuration, business rules, and design decisions to keep the platform transparent, auditable, and supportable.
- Serve as a first point of contact for user support which includes responding to day-to-day questions, access requests, and configuration, resolving what can be handled directly, and escalating complex items as needed.
Standards, Improvement & Continuity
- Define and champion configuration standards by establishing and recommending best practices for configuration, build, testing, and deployment so the application runs on clear, consistent standards.
- Evaluate and adopt emerging capabilities by assessing new system features and finance technologies and adopting them where they add value, partnering with the Technology team on complex and development-heavy work to keep the platform current.
- Govern security and access to cloud hosted finance tools through managing user provisioning, security roles, and periodic access reviews to keep platforms appropriately permissioned, controlled, and audit-ready (i.e., maintaining sound internal controls).
- Maintain data quality, controls, and system integrity across cloud-hosted finance solutions.
- Preserve technical continuity through documenting and safeguarding critical configuration and business logic so platform knowledge stays durable and well-understood.
