BizFirst is assisting our client with recruiting a skilled and experienced Junior SAP Analyst - Help Desk, Labor, Projects, and Funds. This position supports our client's newly awarded task order with the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED), where our client provides the expert personnel to operationalize and sustain BUMED's Government-led Command Support Team (CST). Every Navy general fund command establishes a local CST to execute mission-specific Tier 1.5 sustainment of the Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, the Department of the Navy's authoritative platform for financial management. The CST is the local interface between the command and the General Fund Business Office (GFBO), which provides centralized Tier 2 enterprise sustainment. The work keeps BUMED processing financial transactions, closing accounting periods within the mandatory four-day reporting window, supporting audits, and maintaining accurate financial records without interruption. The role is hybrid, based at the Defense Health Headquarters (DHHQ) in Falls Church, VA, and requires U.S. citizenship and eligibility for a DoD Common Access Card (CAC).

Our client is a boutique consulting firm that employs consultants and professionals with unique skill sets to support the federal government with strategic execution, financial process enablement, IT systems, and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software implementation.
