The role will work closely with business stakeholders, engineering teams, and technology vendors to deliver enhancements, resolve complex technical issues, and improve application reliability and efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• Configure, develop, enhance, and support Emburse /Chrome River for expense management and Infor for time/timesheet management.

• Analyze export/interface files, integration data, and transaction records to identify discrepancies involving amounts, currencies, exchange rates, accounting information, employee data, time entries, and other data elements.
• Perform root-cause analysis to determine whether issues originate from application configuration, source/master data, integrations, SAP, or vendor platforms.
• Translate business requirements into technical designs, application configurations, integration requirements, and implementation specifications.
• Develop, test, deploy, and validate application enhancements, configuration changes, integrations, and production fixes.
• Support the end-to-end integration of expense data with SAP, particularly Accounts Payable (AP) processes.
• Work with internal engineering teams and external vendors to investigate defects and deliver technical enhancements.
• Identify opportunities for automation, application performance improvement, monitoring, and operational efficiency.
• Leverage AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or similar technologies to build automations, accelerate troubleshooting, and improve development workflows.
• Participate in application releases, testing, change management, and production support.

• Experience performing root-cause analysis across interconnected applications and integrations.
• Working knowledge of integrations with SAP, particularly Accounts Payable (AP) and downstream financial posting processes.

• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, with experience working across global, multicultural, and multi-time-zone teams.

Who You'll Work With

You will work with a diverse, cross-functional team spanning Procurement, Finance, IT, and Change Management to deliver and enhance enterprise Expense Management solutions that support BCG's global operations. You'll partner closely with business stakeholders, application vendors, integration teams, and technology colleagues to design, implement, and support scalable, business-critical solutions.

In this role, you'll collaborate with globally distributed teams across multiple time zones, supporting BCG employees, suppliers, and business partners while contributing to continuous improvement, operational excellence, and a reliable user experience.

Additional info

We are looking for a hands-on Application Developer, not a purely functional or business analyst profile.

The candidate should be comfortable moving between application configuration, API troubleshooting, data analysis, integration debugging, technical design, and stakeholder discussions, while owning solutions from requirement through implementation and production support

You're Good at:

• Professional proficiency in spoken and written English.
• Flexibility to collaborate with globally distributed teams across multiple time zones.
