Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $179,317 would place this position at wage Level II. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Financial Managers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

About the role

  • Headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts with more than 4,100 associates, the company's products are sold at key retailers, online and offline, and through distributors around the world.
  • We're not waiting for the future; we're creating it.
  • If you believe the best way to do your job hasn't been invented yet, you'll fit right in.

Responsibilities

  • Help drive the Finance AI and automation roadmap end to end, from opportunity identification through production deployment, adoption, and measured business outcome.
  • Personally build agents and automations. This role stays hands on at the Director level and is expected to ship, not only to direct.
  • Set and deliver the value case for the capability in gross margin dollars, headcount productivity, or enterprise value. Never in hours saved.
  • Partner with the SVP, FP&A, the Chief Accounting Officer, the VP, Internal Audit, and Tax and Treasury leadership to identify and sequence the highest value use cases in each area.
  • Build and own the Finance agent register and control tiering framework, so that every agent in the estate has a named owner, a defined control classification, and evidence sufficient for internal and external audit.
  • Establish the engineering standards for Finance built automation: version control, testing, change management, access control, data lineage, and human in the loop design where control requires it.
  • Partner with Digital Technology, Data, and external partners on platform selection, architecture, and integration into Oracle ERP, EPM, and the enterprise data estate.
  • Assess build versus buy honestly, and be willing to recommend against a purchase when the differentiated answer is a build.
  • Lead and develop a small team of highly technical finance professionals, and transfer capability into the wider organization.
  • Candidates from a pure Finance background with no build experience, and candidates from a pure engineering background with no financial statement literacy, will not be successful in this role.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative field required.
  • Required: demonstrated, hands on expertise building and deploying AI agents and automations into production, with reference to specific systems you have built and the measured outcome they produced.

Nice to have

  • MBA, CPA, CMA, or an advanced degree in a technical discipline preferred.

Skills

  • Python and SQL
  • Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)
  • Financial close, consolidation, and reporting
  • Internal control design and SOX
  • Data modelling, master data, and governed financial dimensions
  • Systems integration and API design
  • AI governance, model risk, and control tiering
  • Business case development and value quantification
  • Executive financial presentations
  • Preferred Tools & Technologies
  • Claude, Claude Code, and the Anthropic API
  • Oracle ERP and Oracle EPM or FCCS

Compensation

  • $175,200 - $235,000 USD
