JIRA Cloud Computing Information Systems System Configuration Data Validation Regression Testing Power BI Data Streaming

Job description

You’ll be the first line of functional expertise inside the IFS platform-handling the support queue, digging into configuration issues, and building the documentation and SOPs that scale Polk’s internal capability over time.

  • Own the T1 and T2 IFS support queue end-to-end-triage tickets, resolve functional issues, escalate with full context, and close the loop with end users.
  • Support functional configuration work across Finance, Projects, Field Service Management (FSM), and HR modules-learning from the IFS Architect and progressively taking on broader scope.
  • Write and maintain SOPs, end-user training guides, and configuration documentation so institutional knowledge lives in Polk, not in a consultant’s head.
  • Validate and document 25R1 patch-dependent backlog items post go-live and assist with regression testing during future IFS upgrade cycles.
  • Manage and update issues in JIRA-keeping tickets accurate, prioritized, and linked to business impact so the backlog reflects reality.
  • Assist with Power BI dashboard support and data validation, confirming IFS data flows correctly into reporting layers.
  • Participate in SteerCo sprint reviews and contribute to backlog grooming sessions with the IFS Architect and business stakeholders.
  • Support user onboarding and change management as new capabilities, upgrades, or SOPs roll out.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

  • The T1/T2 support queue runs smoothly-tickets are resolved, documented, and closed without constant escalation to the Architect.
  • Finance, Project Managers, and Field Service leads trust you to answer their IFS questions accurately and quickly.
  • Every configuration change and SOP you write is documented-Polk’s IFS knowledge base grows with every sprint.
  • You actively expand your functional footprint across modules-by month 12, you’re owning configuration work in at least two IFS functional areas.
  • Upgrade regression testing is organized, thorough, and delivered on schedule.

Requirements

Do you have experience in Training material drafting?, Do you have a Bachelor’s degree?, * 3+ years of hands-on IFS ERP experience, with working knowledge across Finance, Projects, and/or Field Service Management (FSM) modules.

  • Experience with IFS Cloud preferred; candidates with strong IFS on-premises backgrounds who are motivated to move to cloud will be considered.
  • Comfortable working in JIRA-creating tickets, updating statuses, linking issues, and contributing to sprint ceremonies.
  • Strong analytical mindset: you investigate before you escalate and document what you find before you close a ticket.
  • Solid written communication skills-you can write an SOP that a non-technical end user will actually follow.
  • Familiarity with Power BI as a reporting consumer or builder is a plus.
  • Experience supporting ERP users in a construction, MEP, field service, or project-driven business is a meaningful differentiator.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Information Systems, or related field preferred; equivalent experience considered.
