SkyWater has partnered with a manufacturing company in the Twin Cities area to support operations on their Business Systems Team. This is a senior-level position and offers great visibility, ownership, and the opportunity for advancement on a growing team.
Duties will include a combination of integration, enhancement and reporting projects as well as business user support.
Candidates should bring at least 5 years of experience in a manufacturing environment and must reside in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. This position will be on-site 4 days per-week.
SkyWater has partnered with a mid-sized manufacturer and a regulated, global footprint that is hiring a senior contributor to sit inside its Corporate and Operations Applications team, focused on Finance. This is not a requirements-only role. You will own small to mid-size Finance projects from initiation through hypercare, including solution selection, risk management, and stakeholder communication, while also functioning as the go-to resource for the Finance business users on the company’s ERP environment.
You would be a key voice in how the business interacts with its ERP system, and you need to be comfortable operating in ambiguity rather than needing a locked roadmap on day one.
What’s non-negotiable: five or more years as a business analyst working in ERP with a Finance concentration. Project management experience running full project lifecycles is required, not preferred.
Onsite 3 to 4 days a week in the Twin Cities area.
This is a salaried position complete with benefits & bonus. Must be local to MN, and cannot require sponsorship.

I’m partnered with a professional services client in the Twin Cities to bring on a Platform Engineer. I placed the hiring manager earlier this year and they are growing the team as they push from on-prem to the cloud. This role will be probably a 60/40 split initially DBA (SQL) vs Platform Eng work (Azure, IaC, CI/CD, Terraform etc.) and will continue to grow more focused on platform engineering with time.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys building scalable platforms, automating everything possible, and driving modernization rather than simply maintaining existing systems.
We are partnered with a longtime financial services client to bring on a talented Business Analyst. This is not a traditional “ticket-taking” BA role.

Someone who can partner closely with senior stakeholders across HR, finance, and enterprise systems initiatives.
The ideal profile is someone with strong business systems/process orientation, executive communication skills, and ideally experience within financial services, investment management, or similarly complex enterprise environments.
