Shield AI is seeking a Sr. Business Systems Analyst to lead both the day-to-day stewardship of Finance's Procure to Pay (PTP) processes and play a primary role in a high-priority ERP implementation initiative. In this business role, you will develop deep relationships with key accounting and finance stakeholders and build a thorough understanding of the Procure to Pay process and the systems that support it. You will own and drive standardization so our operations teams can scale and achieve process excellence. A critical near-term mandate is serving as the Procure to Pay Business Lead for Shield AI 's Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP implementation — acting as the bridge between Finance and IT to ensure business requirements are accurately translated into system design, that milestones are met on time and on budget, and that end users are set up for lasting success.
Success will require close partnership with Finance and Accounting leaders and teams, the CIO organization, and external implementation partners to align systems and practices with Shield AI 's overall business strategy. You will own scalability, functionality, and ease of execution across all Procure to Pay processes, with the Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP implementation as the cornerstone initiative.
What you'll do:
- Act as Business Lead for the full Procure to Pay end-to-end implementation — from requirements gathering and process design through system configuration, UAT, data migration, cutover, go-live, and hypercare, working closely with the Systems Integration vendor throughout.
- Lead cross-functional workshops to document current-state Finance processes for Procure to Pay and define future-state workflows within Oracle Fusion Cloud; translate outputs into functional specifications for configuration and integration, including Purchasing, Accounts payable, Expenses, Cash management and Supplier management Cloud design decisions.
- Oversee data migration strategy, execution, and validation for all financial master data, including supplier records, open balances, and historical transaction data, in alignment with Oracle Fusion Cloud data conversion standards.
- Work closely with the ERP implementation partner day-to-day — holding the system integrator and other vendors accountable to scope, quality, and delivery timelines against the Oracle Cloud implementation methodology; escalate risks and issues to the steering committee as needed.
- Lead functional-level status reporting on milestones and risks; manage cross-functional interdependencies across other Finance and Accounting mega-processes (Record to Report, Order to Cash, Month-End Close, etc.) throughout the project lifecycle.
- Work closely with business and project leadership to execute a change management and training plan that drives user readiness and adoption on the new Oracle Fusion Cloud environment; build a network of PTP super users and process champions to sustain the system post-go-live.
- Drive post-implementation activities for PTP, including hypercare support, ongoing enhancement prioritization, quarterly Oracle Cloud update readiness, and handoff procedures from the implementation partner to internal teams.
- Evaluate Oracle quarterly release features, assess business impact, coordinate regression testing and lead adoption of new capabilities
- Partner with Internal Audit and IT Security to ensure Oracle cloud configurations comply with SOX, segregation-of-duties, audit, and regulatory requirements
- Serve as the strategic owner for all Procure to Pay processes and systems — working closely with IT to support Oracle Fusion Cloud system architecture, integration health (including Oracle Integration Cloud, or OIC, interfaces), and a forward-looking technology roadmap aligned to Shield AI 's business priorities.
- Partner with Finance leaders and IT to perform gap assessments, formulate investment proposals for future projects and enhancements, and develop multi-year capability roadmaps that balance resources and corporate objectives.
- Identify and implement process automation and standardization opportunities across the Finance ecosystem — including Oracle Fusion Cloud automation, workflow, and reporting capabilities — while maintaining audit readiness and knowledge continuity through documentation and cross-training.
- Lead ongoing process optimization using Oracle Cloud quarterly releases, workflow automations, AI assisted features and business process redesign
Responsibilities include:
- Define and document business processes, data maps, and requirements; consult with end users on functionality and solutions; specify system designs, data flows, workflows, and logical processes to meet organizational objectives.
- Perform Oracle Fusion Cloud application configuration and management, project coordination, and identification/evaluation/review of innovative technologies for potential solutions, along with data extraction and analysis.
- Provide first-level support by responding to inquiries from end users and/or technical staff regarding application, system, and reporting issues; train end users and/or technical support staff on Oracle Fusion Cloud and related applications.
- Identify, troubleshoot, solve, communicate, and manage systems problems under time constraints with minimal supervision.
- Work closely and collaboratively with the Accounting business groups (O2C, R2R, P2P) to solve business problems related to Finance systems and processes.
- Work with third-party vendors to understand and resolve open system or process-related issues.
- Support development of master and transactional data using existing relevant analytical reporting tools, including Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) and BI Publisher.
- Work closely with Project Management and leadership on Finance projects to deliver new capabilities to Finance users.
- Support business applications utilized across all Procure to Pay processes.

- BA/BS degree or equivalent practical experience.

- Experience across multiple Finance functional areas (e.g., accounting, record-to-report, business intelligence, HR/payroll, procure-to-pay, order-to-cash).
- Experience working with systems that handle sensitive data, including SOX controls and change management processes; familiarity with a DCAA/FAR-DFARS-compliant or CMMC-aligned control environment is a plus.
- Ability to own and maintain user access controls to support periodic audits and process changes.
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, strong analytical skills, and the ability to manage ambiguity in a rapidly changing business environment.

What We Do
At Shield AI, you won't wait years to see your work reach the field. You'll build hardware and software that operates in the real world right now, in the hands of the people who depend on it. Hivemind, our AI pilot, has been flying since 2018. It has flown more than 30 platforms, including an F-16, and it now sits under a U.S. Air Force production contract for Collaborative Combat Aircraft. When you write code or shape a system here, you contribute to technology with a proven flight record and a clear production future. V-BAT flies intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions with an operational record that stretches from Ukraine to the Indo-Pacific. It delivers eyes where they matter most, in the most demanding conditions on earth. The teams behind it watch their work get tested where the stakes are real. X-BAT takes its first flight this year. It's an AI-piloted fighter that needs no runway, built to operate where traditional aircraft can't. Join now and you help shape a program at its earliest, most formative stage. That's the kind of ground-floor work that defines a career. Do the most impactful work of your life, on problems that matter. Autonomy at this level asks a lot of you. You'll take on problems in perception, planning, and control that few teams anywhere are equipped to solve. You'll work across disciplines, from aerospace and robotics to machine learning and systems engineering, alongside people who hold themselves to an exacting standard and expect the same from you. Our mission is clear: protect service members and civilians with intelligent systems. That purpose runs through every decision, every design review, and every deployment. It's why the work here carries a weight you can feel. Ready to join our mission? Explore our open roles and find where you fit.
