Job Summary
We are seeking two experienced professionals to join a large-scale Salesforce reimplementation program with downstream integration to Workday Financials.

Independently identify when system or accounting results do not align with expected outcomes and coordinate investigation and resolution
Partner with Finance and technology stakeholders to translate Finance needs into clear business requirements, Jira stories, acceptance criteria, and end-to-end test scenarios
Understand how requirements and configuration changes impact downstream Workday Financials processes, accounting, integrations, and reporting
Align requirements and stories across Revenue, FP&A, Controllership, AR, and other dependent teams to ensure complete end-to-end coverage
Own requirements traceability and change management, including documenting changes, assessing impacts, and maintaining alignment through design, build, testing, and release

Develop and maintain comprehensive test scripts, scenarios, expected results, requirements traceability, and testing evidence
Coordinate testing across multiple Finance teams, testers, systems, and workstreams
Track execution, requirements coverage, defects, retesting, and business sign-offs through Jira
Coordinate test-data staging across Salesforce, Workday, and integrated systems
Drive cross-functional defect triage and coordinate resolution across business and technical teams
Support regression, integration, end-to-end, and release-readiness testing while managing multiple competing priorities and aggressive timelines
