Based on my discussion with the client, this one looks like it could be a ground-floor opportunity for the right person (strong career path). The key skills required:

• A strong technical/functional background with Hyperion Essbase (full SDLC & includes the usual: load rules, calc scripts, tuning & optimization, MaxL, batch scripting, etc.)

• Strong financial or accounting background

• BS or BA degree in Computer Science, Finance or Accounting

Experience with Hyperion Planning, and Microsoft's SSAS definite high-value plus.

The position is on the IT side but may be physically situated in Finance or Accounting - this has not yet been decided. The client is currently using System 7 but will migrate to System 11.

Company employs approximately 10,000 people in 90 locations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina with sales around $3 billion. Big on community involvement with a culture described as entrepreneurial and high performance (sounds like fast-paced environment but not a sweat-shop).

The benefits package is typical: 401K, paid vacation, medical & dental, disability & life insurance, educational assistance, training programs, etc. Big on training initiatives such as Six Sigma, and they seem to embrace an open door policy (feedback, opinions welcome). Competitive salary (no bonus).

Relocation package for successful applicant.
