PeopleSoft Finance and General Ledger Lead

Reporting to the PeopleSoft Lead, the PeopleSoft Finance & General Ledger lead will be responsible for high level support of the Finance and General Ledger modules providing maintenance, support, and improvements.

This role will support USA and Western Europe PSFT Finance. It will be supported by third party Application Managed Support teams offshore. The AMS team manages the routine tasks and queries and they would defer to this role if there were an issue that needs assistance. This would suit someone with an analytical mind that takes ownership of tasks and sees them to completion.

The role is contract to hire. The current individual in this role is retiring in early 2026 so there would be ample time for knowledge transfer. The company is eventually moving to SAP, and if there is interest and a fit there is a possibility this role will transition to a full time one in the SAP environment.
