Summary

Trexon is a manufacturer of specialty cable, wire harness and interconnect solutions serving leading customers in the space, defense, medical, industrial and other specialty end markets. Trexon is a group of seven business units across the U.S., with $200M+ in annual revenue and nearly 900 employees and is part of Amphenol Corporation (NYSE: APH), a global leader in interconnect and sensor solutions.

Trexon is actively seeking an Analyst, ERP and Corporate Finance. Reporting to the Manager, ERP Team, with a dotted line to Trexon’s Controller, the Analyst is an individual contributor who supports the business units’ ERP systems and the corporate finance initiatives that run on them. The role is remote and requires up to 50% travel to our sites, concentrated in implementation and go-live periods.

On the ERP side, the Analyst supports Trexon’s ERP environment, with Epicor as the primary platform, from configuration and upgrades through site rollouts and post-go-live support. Working with business unit finance teams, the ERP team and IT, the Analyst translates finance requirements into system configuration, reports and procedures, and supports users through documentation and training.

On the finance side, Trexon’s corporate finance team is introducing and strengthening controls and procedures across the business units and corporate function as part of Amphenol’s public company environment. These cover areas such as inventory, intercompany reporting, revenue cut-off, customer and credit controls, and period-end reviews. The Analyst helps business units put these initiatives into practice in their local ERP and close routines, builds the reports and evidence they need, and tracks open items to completion. The role works from established corporate policy and is focused on execution.

Effective communication is integral to the role. The Analyst must explain system and procedural requirements clearly to site finance, operations and IT teams, and keep work moving across several business units at once. The ideal candidate combines accounting knowledge with hands-on ERP experience and the organization to manage multiple initiatives across sites.
