ERP analyst

An ERP analyst manages and optimizes the enterprise resource planning systems that run a company's core operations — finance, supply chain, HR, and more. They configure and support the ERP system, gather requirements, troubleshoot issues, improve processes and workflows, train users, and help the business get the most from the integrated software that ties its operations together.

The role blends technical system knowledge with business process understanding, central to organizations running on ERP. ERP analysts work across companies and industries.

The job suits analytical, detail-oriented, systems-minded people who enjoy connecting technology to business processes, like being the expert on a system that runs core operations, and want a role bridging the technical and operational sides of how a company runs.
