This position is responsible for implementing the detailed Lawson training program for end-users. The training program will be conducted both on-site in the country office and remotely. In addition, this group will help to provide end-user support when not training. Each trainer will focus on delivering the course material for either the Lawson financial suite or the Lawson procurement suite. These positions will be based either in Washington or in the individual’s home country with up to 60% travel. The goal is for trips not to exceed 4 weeks. This position requires motivated individuals who can follow directions and work independently. Project Background PSI is implementing an organization-wide financial management system using the Lawson software suite. The system was implemented in Washington in January 2008 and in Kenya, in July 2008. The goal is to implement the system to a selected group of countries by the end of 2010. The use of multiple systems in our field offices required extensive reconciliation resulting in long delays each month to produce financial reports. This piece-meal approach was deemed inadequate for PSI’s anticipated growth and, after much study, PSI selected Lawson software as the financial system solution. The web-based, real-time system will provide integrated and up-to-date data on all operations and numerous additional capabilities for managing work flow, controls, inventory management, project tracking, donor reporting and financial analysis.
