Full Job Description

This senior role sits within Chamberlain Group's IT Enterprise Applications function and serves as a senior solution expert for the Finance & HR value stream. The Sr. Analyst proposes, designs, and takes growing ownership of solutions for significant components of the SAP ECC (FI/CO) and integrated application landscape (Workday, Kronos), provides key inputs to end-to-end solution architecture in partnership with the value stream Lead, and drives complex initiatives and workstreams from requirements through hypercare.

  • Design change, release, test, and validation approaches for assigned major system changes, consistent with the standards established for the Finance & HR system landscape.

  • Manage escalated and complex items with the Application Managed Services (AMS) provider for the process area — reviewing complex enhancement designs, prioritizing escalations, and supporting SLA and quality accountability.

  • Provide guidance and mentorship to analysts, reviewing designs and functional specifications within assigned solution areas and helping raise the team's technical quality.

  • Comply with health and safety guidelines and rules; managers should also ensure compliance across their teams.

  • Protect Chamberlain Group’s reputation by keeping information confidential.
