• Serve as the Finance systems lead on cross-functional projects with GTM Systems, Data, Accounting, and EPD, representing Finance's systems requirements
• Manage vendor relationships to ensure high value realization and minimal support-related problems
• Operate as a hands-on player-coach: own critical systems work directly while building and developing a small team of financial systems engineers, setting a high bar for technical quality and process rigor
• How to be successful in this role:
• 7+ years of experience in financial systems, ERP administration, or finance technology, including time as a senior individual contributor and/or experience leading people, you're equally comfortable building in the system yourself and setting direction for a team

• Experience administering a cloud FP&A planning platform, understanding both the technical architecture and the planning use cases it supports
• Demonstrated ability to design financial data structures that scale including: cost center hierarchies, chart of accounts governance, master data management, and dimension design
• Familiarity with API-based integrations, integration/middleware tooling, and data pipelines between financial systems and a cloud data warehouse
• Comfortable writing SQL to validate data, build reconciliations, and pull ad hoc analysis from a data warehouse
• Strong working knowledge of core finance and accounting processes such as financial close, revenue recognition, multi-entity consolidations, and cost management
• Track record of partnering effectively with Accounting, FP&A, Data Engineering, and GTM Systems teams, translating finance requirements into scalable technical solutions
• You've built financial systems infrastructure before, not just maintained it, you know what 'good' looks like and how to get there from a messy starting point
