This position is high paced and requires motivated individuals who can follow directions and make appropriate decisions and will include occasional international travel. 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. RESPONSIBILITIES: • Interact daily with country offices to prepare them for the Lawson implementation • Gather required data from the country offices needed for Lawson set-up, including inventory, customers, vendors, employees • Analyze country business requirements and make appropriate design decisions • Document all set-up and processing decisions in the appropriate software design documents • Assist with gathering all user information required for the security set-up • Configure each country office’s Lawson company • Reconcile starting balances between the legacy systems and Lawson • Test the set-up of each company to ensure the design is functioning as designed • Work with the Business Systems Trainers to ensure the system is ready for the country to ‘go live’ • Troubleshoot the set-up before and after the country goes live • Prepare training materials • Occasional international travel to PSI platforms • Occasional training to local and international PSI staff QUALIFICATIONS: • Bachelor’s degree; knowledge of finance or procurement preferred • Minimum 5 + years professional work experience • Ability to work in a fast-paced team environment, and strong analytical/problem solving capabilities • Experience with accounting software, spreadsheets and manipulation of large datasets • Knowledge of PSI financial management systems - QuickBooks, Lawson, and/or Business Vision • Prior active involvement in the design, development, and implementation of software systems • Experience with source control and configuration management • Demonstrable ability to communicate effectively with technical staff, end users and management • Excellent interpersonal and communications skills • Excellent organizational and multitasking capabilities • Excellent written skills using Microsoft Word or comparable tool • Fluency in English is required; fluency in French or Spanish preferred Preference will be given to candidates with experience with software implementation, strong understanding of finance, procurement or inventory; and the ability to work in a position requiring close attention to detail.
