Concur Business Systems Analyst with Workday experience

Job Title: Business Systems Analyst Concur

Location: Hybrid, 3 days onsite 216 Mass Ave, Boston

Duration: 6 months  

Job Summary

Concur (T&E) — Business Purpose Justification

ITS is taking on administrative ownership of Concur, the university's travel and expense platform, under the same June 30 go-live target. Concur carries significant access and security management complexity that requires hands-on system admin capacity beyond what the current team can support in parallel with Jaggaer. This contractor will execute access remediation, map T&E workflows, align Finance and Travel business owners on the ITS support model, and ensure integration dependencies with Workday Financials are identified and resolved before go-live. This role is essential to delivering a clean, on-schedule transition without disrupting day-to-day expense operations for the university.

 Top technical or soft skills 

• Experience with Workday is strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated willingness to learn and take on additional responsibilities across the finance function, beyond Concur-related tasks.
• Familiarity with ServiceNow and Jira is preferred.
• Strong communication skills, including proactively escalating issues and seeking support from management when needed.

The Division of Information Technology Services (ITS) seeks a hands-on BSA Contractor to support the ITS administration transition of Concur, the university's travel and expense (T&E) platform. ITS is assuming full system ownership by June 30, 2025, and needs an experienced contractor to drive access remediation, workflow documentation, and stakeholder alignment alongside the ITS ERP Applications team.

Hybrid work schedule: This role is hybrid with on-site presence 3 days a week in the Boston office.

Other duties as required: This role requires flexibility to support evolving transition needs, including cross-functional coordination, documentation, and stakeholder engagement as the go-live date approaches.
