[Hiring] Senior ERP Product Owner @Orion Group

Role Description

The Operations and Finance Product Owner owns the performance, configuration, adoption, access governance, and continuous improvement of Orion's core operational and financial processes within COINS and connected systems. This role is the functional owner for:

• General ledger
• Accounts payable
• Accounts receivable
• Construction billing
• Purchasing
• Inventory
• Job costing
• Work in progress
• Percentage-of-completion accounting
• Retainage
• Committed costs
• Subcontractor accounting
• Cash management
• Fixed assets
• Financial close

A central responsibility is ensuring that system access and workflow design maintain effective segregation of duties across finance and operations. This is a hands-on product ownership and support role. The Product Owner identifies issues, determines root cause, coordinates resolution, validates results, and remains accountable until the process works as intended. The role balances Orion's enterprise standards with legitimate Operating Company requirements while limiting unnecessary customization and unsustainable workarounds.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, business, operations, information systems, or a related field.
• Five or more years of experience supporting finance or operational processes in an ERP environment.
• Construction or project-based accounting experience, including job costing, work in progress, percentage-of-completion revenue recognition, retainage, committed costs, project billing, and cost-to-complete forecasting.
• Experience leading or materially supporting an eight-day financial close, including subledger reconciliation, WIP preparation, journal entries, financial review, and issue resolution.
• Strong working knowledge of general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, purchasing, job costing, WIP, and financial close.
• Experience designing or administering ERP roles, access controls, segregation-of-duties matrices, user-access reviews, or control-remediation processes.
• Ability to identify and remediate incompatible duties across procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, record-to-report, cash management, and system administration without disrupting operations.
• Experience configuring, testing, implementing, or supporting ERP business processes and translating business needs into requirements, test cases, and process documentation.
• Demonstrated ability to diagnose complex functional issues and drive them through verified resolution.
• Strong understanding of financial controls, reconciliations, approval workflows, audit trails, least privilege, and privileged access.
• Strong written communication, training, documentation, stakeholder-management, and cross-functional leadership skills.

Requirements

• CPA, CMA, CIA, CISA, MBA, or another relevant finance, audit, or controls credential (preferred).
• Big Four accounting or consulting experience supporting ERP controls, segregation-of-duties design, SOX readiness, internal controls, or audit remediation (preferred).
• Product Owner, Scrum Product Owner, or comparable product-management certification (preferred).
• Experience with COINS or another construction-focused ERP platform (preferred).
• Experience with governance, risk, and compliance tools or automated segregation-of-duties analysis (preferred).
• Experience in construction, mechanical services, specialty contracting, field service, or another project-based industry (preferred).
• Experience supporting multiple businesses in a decentralized or private-equity-backed organization (preferred).
• Experience with ERP implementations, acquisitions, data migration, cutover, hypercare, and post-go-live stabilization (preferred).
• Experience with SOX or IPO readiness, system integrations, automated workflows, data reconciliation, and exception reporting (preferred).

Benefits

• $155K base salary with opportunity for performance-based bonus.
• Remote work with required travel.

Measures of Success

• Finance and operations processes operate reliably across live Operating Companies, with recurring incidents and transaction failures permanently resolved.
• Each implementing Operating Company completes an accurate close within eight business days, with reconciled subledgers, job cost, WIP, billings, and revenue.
• Job cost, forecasts, retainage, commitments, project billing, and revenue recognition are complete, accurate, and visible to project and finance leaders.
• Operating Companies adopt Orion's standard configuration and processes; justified exceptions are documented, approved, and supportable.
• High-impact support issues receive clear ownership and timely resolution, while ticket aging and repeat incidents decline.
• Required approvals, reconciliations, audit trails, access controls, and segregation-of-duties controls operate as designed and remain audit-ready.
• Manual workarounds, spreadsheets, duplicate entry, and transaction corrections decline, and enhancements produce measurable improvements in accuracy, cycle time, control, or user experience.
