How to Apply for Business Systems Analyst, Manufacturing & Finance Systems
at Electric Hydrogen
🏢 About Electric Hydrogen
Electric Hydrogen is a climate tech startup on a mission to decarbonize heavy industry through affordable green hydrogen. As a fast-growing company tackling one of the hardest climate problems, you'll have the opportunity to build and scale systems from the ground up in a mission-driven environment.
About This Role
As the Business Systems Analyst for Manufacturing & Finance Systems, you'll own the administration and optimization of key systems like Coupa, Microsoft Business Central, and Arena. Your work directly impacts the efficiency of procure-to-pay, product lifecycle management, and manufacturing execution, enabling the company to scale its production of electrolyzers.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with checking system alerts for integration errors between Arena (PLM) and Business Central (ERP), then meeting with the manufacturing team to gather requirements for a new data field. Afternoon could involve configuring a Coupa approval workflow and troubleshooting a Brex expense report issue, followed by documenting process changes for compliance.
