OUTGROWN YOUR OWN BACKYARD? COME PLAY IN OURS.
At Columbia, were as passionate about the outdoors as you are. And while our gear is available worldwide, were proud to be based in the Pacific Northwest, where natural wonders are our playground.
Every product we make and every task we undertake is inspired by the famous words of our founder Gert Boyle: Its perfect. Now make it better. As pioneers of relentless improvement, we are constantly evolving.
We believe the outdoors is ours to protect and strive to keep our planet healthy. We believe in empowering people to experience the outdoors to the fullest.
And we believe in you.
ABOUT THE POSITION
Columbia Sportswear Finance teams oversee the financial health and forward strategy for a portfolio of four global brands. These teams exercise expertise across Compliance, Accounting, Credit, Financial Planning and Reporting, Tax, Treasury, and Strategy. Advancing traditional Finance & Accounting functions, the organization is also driving exciting innovation in the application of advanced analytics and automated intelligence.
As an Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) Analyst/Designer you will play a key role in providing the foundation to deliver full and accurate automated solutions. You will identify and scope automated solutions through identification of business process automation opportunities, automation requirements gathering and completion of feasibility assessments.

To accomplish this, you will serve as a liaison with the Business teams, the IPA development and GIS (Global Information Services).
You will build strong partnerships with regional business stakeholders in one or multiple functional areas to gain a thorough understanding of the processes identified for automation and to ensure value from these services is captured, realized, optimized and recognized. Although your primary focus will be the identification and design of automated process and system solutions, you'll maintain a working understanding of end-to-end enterprise systems processes, enabling influence across the enterprise to support business and operating requirements.
HOW YOULL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Engage with the business to conduct process assessments in order to identify, prioritize and streamline business processes that are potential candidates for automation, including justification of automation and business benefit.

Collaborate with process owners to document business detail and processes for successful automation
Partner with business owners on user acceptance test (UAT) documents, identifying all the process scenarios and expected outcomes

YOU HAVE
Bachelor's degree in Systems, Computer Science, Business or Information Management or equivalent experience
3+ years progressive experience in business process and system analysis, requirements gathering, and application implementation
Applied knowledge of business process automation application and/or processes
