What are the responsibilities and job description for the Financial Business Systems Analyst position at United States?
Trinity Industries is searching to fill the open position of Financial Business Systems Analyst in our Dallas, Texas office. This role is ideal for a finance and accounting professional with strong ERP experience who will serve as the primary bridge between the business and our existing MRP/ERP suite (financials, supply chain, manufacturing, and inventory).

Join our team and be a part of Delivering Goods for the Good of All!
What You'll Do:
- Serve as the functional subject matter expert for the LX application, supporting Accounting and Finance on day-to-day system issues, configuration, transaction processing, and the end-to-end flow of data from supply chain and manufacturing activity into the Oracle Cloud General Ledger
- Uncover needs that business partners and end users would not be able to articulate on their own
- Develop business cases and communicate the operational value, risks, and expected outcomes of system enhancements, support initiatives, and transformation projects
- Translate Finance and Accounting requirements into functional specifications, test scenarios, configuration changes, and controls that enable accurate transaction processing and reliable financial results
- Manage workstreams across the full solution lifecycle, from discovery and design through testing, deployment, and stabilization
- Support future LX-to-Oracle Cloud migration by documenting current-state processes and configurations, validating requirements from a Finance and Accounting perspective, and assisting with testing, data migration, and cutover
- Own the accounting integrity of LX supply chain and manufacturing transactions, ensuring subledger activity (inventory valuation, costing, payables, receivables, intercompany) reconciles accurately to Oracle Cloud GL
- Partner with IT, vendors, and managed services to ensure solution quality, issue resolution, and successful delivery of enhancements
What You'll Need:
- Bachelor’s degree in business, Finance, Accounting, or technical discipline required/MBA HIGHLY PREFERRED

- Knowledge of Sarbanes-Oxley and general audit requirements
- Travel: 10% or less
Highly preferred skills:
- Bilingual English/Spanish a plus for communications with business units in Mexico

- Functional accounting background (corporate or plant) – prior experience as a Cost Accountant, Senior Accountant, or ERP/Systems Analyst supporting Finance is ideal and positions this person as a credible partner to the business and a knowledgeable contributor to any future LX-to-Oracle Cloud migration
