Head of Engineering; Finance Systems

Requirements

• You've spent your career at the intersection of Finance and technology and you've moved beyond just keeping systems running
• You think in roadmaps, outcomes, and partnerships
• You know what a well‑run Finance technology function looks like, and you know how to build one
• You've led teams through real complexity: ERP transformations, SOX audits, billing system overhauls, or the messy work of integrating Finance systems across a growing company
• You don't need a perfect environment to do great work, you create structure where there isn't any, and you bring Finance and engineering stakeholders along with you
• Additionally, you use AI tools to accelerate exploration, shorten iteration cycles, and bring sharper ideas to the table
• 15+ years in enterprise or business systems, with meaningful ownership of Finance technology at a tech or SaaS company
• 4+ years leading teams, including managers, responsible for ERP, procure-to-pay, revenue/billing, and financial close systems
• Deep, practical SOX ITGC experience and a clean track record working with Internal Audit and external auditors
• Fluency in ERP and Finance application architecture (Net Suite/Oracle, Coupa, or similar), integration patterns, and how Finance data flows across a modern tech stack
• A reputation as a trusted partner to Finance leadership; someone who translates complexity into clear decisions and earns credibility with CFOs, Controllers, and auditors alike
• You'll especially thrive here if you've:
• Led Finance technology through an IPO, public‑company readiness program, or major transformation
• Built or scaled AI and automation in Finance workflows - reconciliations, invoice processing, forecasting prep and can speak to what worked and what didn't
• Come up through Finance or Accounting earlier in your career and still enjoy going deep on the details when it matters
