General Purpose of Job

The Business Systems & Data Coordinator provides part-time, entry-level support to the Business Systems & Data function by entering, reviewing, maintaining, and reconciling information in the company’s ERP system and related tools.

• Prepare routine data extracts, reports, reconciliations, and tracking files for review.
• Research discrepancies by comparing source documents, system records, and departmental information; escalate unresolved issues rather than making unsupported assumptions.
• Support testing of system updates, process changes, reports, and data corrections; document test results and identified issues.
• Create and maintain clear work instructions, process notes, data definitions, and user guides.
• Follow up with process owners when required information is missing, unclear, or inconsistent.
• Protect confidential and sensitive information, including compensation-derived rates, costs, margins, employee information, and other restricted business data.

Additional Responsibilities

• Provide general administrative and project support to the Business Systems & Data Manager.
• Cross-train on additional system and reporting responsibilities as knowledge and demonstrated accuracy increase.
• Participate in process-improvement, data-cleanup, and documentation initiatives.
• Perform other related duties as assigned
