SMUD is leading the way to a clean energy future, committed to operational excellence, innovation, and providing exceptional value to our community. As we modernize our core business processes and invest in advanced systems, the successful transition to S/4HANA is vital to ensuring SMUD remains among the nation's most reliable and forward-thinking electric utilities. Join us as we transform how we manage and maintain the power generation systems that are essential to delivering safe, reliable service to our customers-now and for years to come.
 

Power Generation is seeking a Business Technology Analyst to work closely with the Power Generation Systems Program Manager, primarily in person, on the Acquire to Retire (ATR) S/4HANA transformation initiative. This limited-term position is anticipated to last as long as four years, supporting workstream leads and our System Integrator throughout the ATR workstream, which covers the full lifecycle of SMUD's critical assets-from acquisition and daily operations to ongoing maintenance and eventual retirement.
 

In this role, you will partner with cross-functional stakeholders to document requirements, support solution design, and help implement new business processes with S/4HANA. You will often assist with day-to-day troubleshooting, process enhancements, and system upgrades. Assignments may also include supporting general business initiatives or resolving issues in primary applications such as SAP, Documentum, and Mclaren.
 
The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, collaborative, analytical, and flexible. Excellent customer service and clear communication skills are essential, as this role requires translating complex technical solutions for business users and responding promptly to their needs. Those who thrive on bridging gaps between business units and IT, enjoy solving problems, and are motivated to make a positive impact through technology will excel in this position.

Join our team and help SMUD deliver reliable service by supporting the systems and business processes that keep our assets working for our customers and community.
