ERP Team Lead

BackgroundThe State of Florida Accounting Information Resource (FLAIR) system is based on software developed in the 1970s and was implemented as the core of the state's financial system in 1981. Recognizing the risks and shortcomings of FLAIR, the Legislature authorized and appropriated funds to the Department of Financial Services in Fiscal Year 2013-2014 to conduct a study of replacement options.The ultimate result of this study was a recommendation to replace the core functionality of FLAIR and the Treasury cash management system (CMS). The replacement of FLAIR and CMS has been recognized as the Florida Planning Accounting and Ledger Management (PALM) Project.As the Florida PALM Project proceeds in the replacement of CMS and components of FLAIR, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement will need to prepare for and execute specific transition activities that will require additional resources.The Florida PALM transition approach is to replace the CMS components first, followed by the Central FLAIR functions, then the FLAIR Payroll functions, and finally, the Departmental FLAIR functions.With the replacement of CMS components and the eventual replacement of all FLAIR functions, agency business systems will need to be assessed and analyzed to determine if they will require modifications, if they are to be retired, or if they will be unimpacted.The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has numerous business systems that exchange data with FLAIR. Many of these systems will be required to interact with Florida PALM and continue to provide data files and images on a daily, weekly, and/or monthly basis. Some of these systems, such as Revenue Account Management System (RAMS), are sizeable and will require considerable effort to prepare each of them to accurately communicate with the new Florida PALM system.Description of Major Duties & DeliverablesFDLE requires the services of one (1) ERP Team Lead to act as an Oracle EBS Finance Functional Consultant to work under the direction of FDLE's assigned Project Manager to achieve the goals and objectives of the Florida PALM Integration Project as approved by a Legislative Budget Request (LBR).The ERP Team Lead is expected to use their skills to facilitate, document, and coordinate with the project team to see the project to successful completion.The Person In This PositionIs skilled in systems and business analysis to provide the deliverables within an Information Technology (IT) project.Is responsible for clear communication between stakeholders and the project team to document detailed functional and non-functional requirements within the scope of the project.Is responsible for ensuring the solution meets the business requirements.ERP Team Lead Responsibilities Include, But Not Limited To The FollowingFacilitating Joint Application Development (JAD) sessions for detailed requirementsDocumenting business processes and business requirementsAnalyzing business requirements to help define and design solutions to meet the requirementsCreating the requirements traceability matrix to map requirements to test casesDocumenting use cases and test casesPerforming various methods of testing to ensure minimal defectsDocumenting project deliverablesProviding status reports to the Project ManagerAssisting in user trainingEnsuring customer expectations are met with the projectDeliverablesDocumented Detailed Business and Technical RequirementsDocumented Functional and Non-functional RequirementsDocumented Gap AnalysisRequirements Traceability Matrix (RTM)Documented Design Documents, including Prototype WireframesDocumented and executed Test PlansDocumented User AcceptanceDocumented Defects during Testing and Test Cycle SummariesDocumented approved Change Logs within the LBR timeframeDocumented Operations & Maintenance PlanKnowledge transfer to the Revenue Account Management System (RAMS), Maintenance TeamMandatory Knowledge, Skills and AbilitiesBachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Business Administration, or other related IT fieldsMinimum of 7 years of experience using Oracle EBS R12 FinanceExperience with Oracle EBS Financial modules – General Ledger (GL), Accounts Receivables (AR), Subledger Accounting (SLA)Experience with creating and restructuring GL Chart of Accounts (CoA) to meet statutory and regulatory requirementsExperience with SQL querying of Oracle EBS Financial modulesKnowledge of information technology system development, implementation, and operational maintenance principles.Oracle Application Implementation Methodology (AIM)/Oracle Unified Method (OUM) of documentation – ex: BR100, MD50Knowledge of field mapping, Integration touch points, Oracle APIs knowledge, table & column structures of important tablesAbility to analyze the current business processes and scenarios with initial functional implementation and deliver detailed business-focused financials functions keeping in mind the new CoA.Ability to lead all functional aspects of CoA project - including requirements gathering, fit-gap analysis, design, build, test, go-live and post-production supportKnowledge of System Administrator task related to Menus/Functions, Responsibilities, Users etc.Experience with meeting facilitationKnowledge of the methods of data collection and analysisAbility to conduct fact-finding research.Experience with business analysis and requirements documentationExperience in developing user guides and technical documentation.Experience in designing quality test processes to identify defectsExperience performing differing test methodologies in IT projects to find defectsPossess exceptional written and verbal communication skillsExperienced public speakerAbility to work independently and cooperatively with project team members and stakeholdersAbility to deliver assignments within the agreed schedule and of effective qualityAccountable to the FDLE assigned Project Manager for all phases of LBR projectPossess strong organizational skills with attention to detailAbility to adapt to changing priorities and manage multiple tasks simultaneously.Possess critical thinking and analytical abilitiesPreferred Knowledge Skills and AbilitiesBachelor's Degree in Finance, Business Administration, or other related field or equivalent work experienceExperience and skills using Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, Project, PowerPoint, SharePoint, Teams, and Visio).Experience with Oracle EBS Financial modules – Cash Management (CM), Accounts Payables (AP), and Fixed Assets (FA)
