Guided by our values of passion, ownership, and team spirit, we work together to deliver innovative solutions and exceptional service across the globe.
About the Role
We are seeking a highly skilled and strategic Information Technology (IT) SAP Finance (FICO) Professional with strong expertise in SAP S/4HANA Finance, Controlling (FICO), Treasury, Asset Accounting, and Financial Reporting within an SAP S/4HANA RISE Cloud Private Edition environment.

Original Composites & Fiberglass is a business unit of the Praana Group. Original Composites & Fiberglass was recently acquired by the Praana Group.

The information technology environment supporting our new company is being built from the ground up in terms of IT infrastructure and applications with the opportunity to leverage new technologies and new ways of thinking as we look to end a transition services agreement associated with the acquisition as soon as possible. Our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) landscape is comprised of multiple instances across the globe. We seek to consolidate and simplify our ERP landscape to drive efficiency and effectiveness in our operations for decades ahead.
All IT team members may be assigned IT Engineering responsibilities, focused on designing, building, and maintaining technology systems that support business operations.
