Nice To Haves

At least 5 years of experience as a Senior PA working in a supply chain and ERP environment.
Ideally you have JD Edwards World experience with the Financial, EDI and Order to Cash modules.
You thrive in a fast-paced and agile environment where you want to be leader in providing solutions.
Solution Oriented – you don’t let constraints get in your way. You are comfortable articulating issues or consequences of decisions but are happy to find a way to make it work (for now).
Collaborative – it takes a village! You eschew “us vs. them” mentality and seek to understand how all the pieces fit into place and how to lead and follow for the best team outcome.
Git-R-Done – You have a bias for action and “trying it out”. You realize that a fast 80% solution that answers most of the questions is better than a slow one that gets 95% of it. Sure, there are conditions – but you trust your colleagues to understand and act appropriately.
Leadership – You challenge your team as well as yourself to explore new ideas and technologies, develop ways to work better and bring these to fruition.
