Administrator and Financial Analyst

Req ID 62905 | Northville, United States

About the Team: We are looking for an Administrator and Financial Analyst for our Outside Counsel Management System (OCMS). OCMS functions like an Accounts Payable System, with a unique twist – it's project-oriented! Your primary responsibility will be setting up new projects in collaboration with ZF Business Units to manage their associated expenses efficiently. What makes this role even more intriguing is the diversity of tasks. While we primarily handle invoices for ZF's Legal Department, we also manage non-legal invoices across a variety of areas, including patent prosecution, environmental remediation, corporate compliance, foreign trade, and logistics. This means you'll get to experience a wide range of administrative challenges. If you're looking for a role that combines project-driven responsibilities with a variety of expense management tasks, this might be the right fit for you.
