MRBG is seeking a Senior Business Systems Advisor who understands a company from its data outward. The right candidate has lived inside an ERP as a power user, administrator, or analyst, knows why the numbers look the way they do, and can turn that understanding into better reports, cleaner data, and tools a client's team will actually use. The Senior Advisor administers and improves client systems, builds applications and automations alongside the Associate Director of Technology, supports ERP selection and implementation, and, as trust is earned, takes a larger role in client relationships and in shaping the work that follows.

This role is paid a percentage commission on all hours billed to clients; the hourly range shown on this posting is earned per billed hour. Employees have the freedom to set their weekly hours, and billing rates step up as employees advance through the firm's tiers. Benefits are available to full-time employees (minimum 30 billable hours per week).
