Proactive and curious, you will develop a deep understanding of how each part of the business operates, then ensure that the systems you build simplify that work and surface the data needed to improve it. You will work across a broad technical surface, from ERP workflows and API integrations to vendor management and cross-functional problem solving, with a constant eye toward building something reliable enough to grow on. You will help establish the practices and standards that the team builds on as Vulcan scales.</span> <span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":40,"335559739":40}"> </span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Responsibilities</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":280,"335559739":120,"335572079":6,"335572080":4,"335572081":11184810,"469789806":"single"}"> </span></p> <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Gather and translate requirements from finance, operations, and other business teams into system designs and integration specs</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":60,"335559739":60}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Own the implementation of new features, workflows, and integrations across Vulcan’s enterprise software stack</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":60,"335559739":60}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Lead ERP implementation and ongoing build-out, coordinating with vendors and internal stakeholders to ensure systems reflect how Vulcan actually operates</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":60,"335559739":60}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="4" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Write clear technical documentation for everything you build — configurations, integrations, data models, and processes</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":60,"335559739":60}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="5" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Evaluate new tools and platforms, leading requirements gathering, vendor selection, and implementation scoping</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":60,"335559739":60}"> </span></li> </ul> <p><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":40,"335559739":40}"> </span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Data Visibility &amp;
