Shield AI is seeking a Sr. Business Systems Analyst to lead both the day-to-day stewardship of Finance's Order to Cash (OTC) processes and play a primary role in a high-priority ERP implementation initiative. In this business role, you will develop deep relationships with key accounting and finance stakeholders and build a thorough understanding of the Order to Cash process and the systems that support it. You will own and drive standardization so our operations teams can scale and achieve process excellence. A critical near-term mandate is serving as the Order to Cash Business Lead for Shield AI 's Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP implementation — acting as the bridge between Finance and IT to ensure business requirements are accurately translated into system design, that milestones are met on time and on budget, and that end users are set up for lasting success.
Success will require close partnership with Finance and Accounting leaders and teams, the CIO organization, and external implementation partners to align systems and practices with Shield AI 's overall business strategy. You will own scalability, functionality, and ease of execution across all Order to Cash processes, with the Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP implementation as the cornerstone initiative.
What you'll do:
- Act as Business Lead for the full Order to Cash end-to-end implementation — from requirements gathering and process design through system configuration, UAT, data migration, cutover, go-live, and hypercare, working closely with the Systems Integration vendor throughout.
- Lead cross-functional workshops to document current-state Finance processes for Order to Cash and define future-state workflows within Oracle Fusion Cloud; translate outputs into functional specifications for configuration and integration, including Order Management, Pricing, Revenue Management/ Revenue Recognition, Receivables, and Collections Cloud design decisions.
- Oversee data migration strategy, execution, and validation for all financial master data, including customer records, open balances, and historical transaction data, in alignment with Oracle Fusion Cloud data conversion standards.
- Work closely with the ERP implementation partner day-to-day — holding the system integrator and other vendors accountable to scope, quality, and delivery timelines against the Oracle Cloud implementation methodology; escalate risks and issues to the steering committee as needed.
- Lead functional-level status reporting on milestones and risks; manage cross-functional interdependencies across other Finance and Accounting mega-processes (Record to Report, Procure to Pay, Month-End Close, etc.) throughout the project lifecycle.
- Work closely with business and project leadership to execute a change management and training plan that drives user readiness and adoption on the new Oracle Fusion Cloud environment; build a network of OTC super users and process champions to sustain the system post-go-live.
- Drive post-implementation activities for OTC, including hypercare support, ongoing enhancement prioritization, quarterly Oracle Cloud update readiness, and handoff procedures from the implementation partner to internal teams.
- Evaluate Oracle quarterly release features, assess business impact, coordinate regression testing and lead adoption of new capabilities
- Partner with Internal Audit and IT Security to ensure Oracle cloud configurations comply with SOX, segregation-of-duties, audit, and regulatory requirements
- Serve as the strategic owner for all Order to Cash processes and systems — working closely with IT to support Oracle Fusion Cloud system architecture, integration health (including Oracle Integration Cloud, or OIC, interfaces), and a forward-looking technology roadmap aligned to Shield AI 's business priorities.
- Partner with Finance leaders and IT to perform gap assessments, formulate investment proposals for future projects and enhancements, and develop multi-year capability roadmaps that balance resources and corporate objectives.
- Identify and implement process automation and standardization opportunities across the Finance ecosystem — including Oracle Fusion Cloud automation, workflow, and reporting capabilities — while maintaining audit readiness and knowledge continuity through documentation and cross-training.
- Lead ongoing process optimization using Oracle Cloud quarterly releases, workflow automations, AI assisted features and business process redesign
