About The Position

Watlow is seeking a Finance Business Analyst to join our IT organization in a high-impact, cross-functional role where your work will directly shape the stability and evolution of our Oracle ERP Finance systems. In this position you will partner closely with Finance business users, IT application teams, implementation partners, and AMS teams to keep our finance processes running smoothly and continuously improving.

If you thrive on solving problems, enjoy being the go-to person who makes complex systems make sense, and want to be part of stabilizing and scaling how Finance operates, we would love to connect with you.
