  • Design, build, and maintain AI-powered workflows that eliminate manual, high-volume processes across the Finance function - with a particular focus on transaction coding, close automation, and financial reporting

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in financial systems, accounting technology, or a closely related field - with meaningful time spent in a high-growth or scaling environment
  • Hands-on experience with API integrations and data pipeline design - comfort working with Engineering teams to scope and spec integration work
  • Exceptional communication skills. ability to translate between finance, engineering, and executive audiences without oversimplifying or losing technical precision

  • Formal project management experience or training - this role requires running complex, cross-functional projects to completion, not just providing technical and functional expertise
  • Experience leading close process optimization or standardization initiatives, ideally reducing close timelines or manual touch-points

Nice to have

  • Experience working directly with external auditors (Big 4 preferred) on IT controls testing and audit evidence standards
