• Identify "Tribal Knowledge": Formalize undocumented business rules that have been passed down verbally, ensuring they are preserved in a central repository.

• Maintain Documentation: Organizes and uploads all process maps and standard operating procedures (SOPs) into SharePoint or Confluence.

• Strong interpersonal skills to effectively interview staff and explain technical workflows in simple terms.
• A high level of accuracy when documenting system fields and business rules.
• An interest in how ERPs (e.g., QAD, Oracle/SAP versions, or proprietary systems) function compared to modern SaaS solutions.

• Working conditions are normal for an office environment.
• Hybrid work in our Lake Forest Headquarter office at least 3 days/week.
