We are seeking a Financial Systems Business Analyst to support critical financial systems, billing operations, and operational process improvement for a remote contract role.

The ideal candidate has strong experience working across billing operations, accounts receivable workflows, financial reporting, data validation, and third-party financial or operational systems.

- Own triage of incidents, requests, and operational issues, ensuring items are routed to the appropriate teams.
- Perform root cause analysis to identify and resolve underlying financial system and process issues.
- Use SQL to extract, analyze, validate, reconcile, and report on business and financial data.
- Execute manual corrections and data fixes using internal or third-party operational tools when necessary.
- Support incident and event management, including troubleshooting and resolution of production issues.
- Support operational initiatives related to billing, contracts, financial systems, and enterprise customer workflows.
- Design, document, validate, and continuously improve operational processes.
- Create and maintain process documentation, SOPs, and workflow guidance.
- Translate business requirements into scalable operational solutions.
- Work effectively across finance, accounting, operations, systems, and technical stakeholders.
