Sometimes, a group of people come together and create something amazing. They don’t let egos get in the way. They don’t settle for the status quo, and they don’t complain when things get tough. Instead, they see a common vision for the future and each person makes an unspoken commitment to building that future together. That’s the culture, the moxie, and the story of Aspida.

We're looking for a Finance Data Product Manager to own the data products that power our Finance and Accounting organization. This is a senior, cross-functional role sitting at the intersection of Finance, Accounting, and Data Engineering — you'll define the roadmap for financial data infrastructure, set standards for how financial data is modeled and governed, and lead the translation of complex accounting and business logic into scalable data products.

You'll operate as a player-coach: setting strategy and prioritization while staying hands‑on enough to dig into SQL, Python, and Snowflake when it matters. This role reports to the Director of Finance Systems and is required to be onsite 3 days a week at our Durham, NC headquarters.

• Own the roadmap for Finance’s data products (financial data marts, reporting layers, self‑service datasets) — prioritizing based on business impact, close/reporting needs, and stakeholder input
• Partner with Finance, Accounting, FP&A, and executive stakeholders to define requirements and translate financial/accounting logic (revenue recognition, allocations, close processes, forecasting) into scalable data models
• Define and track success metrics for financial data products (accuracy, latency, adoption, close‑cycle time reduction)

• Act as the primary liaison between Finance/Accounting and Data Engineering — representing Finance's needs in engineering prioritization, and representing engineering constraints back to Finance stakeholders
• Set standards and best practices for financial data modeling in Snowflake, including governance, access controls, and documentation
• Review and guide architecture for pipelines and data marts; remain hands‑on with SQL and Python to prototype, validate, and troubleshoot when needed
• Drive data quality and lineage initiatives so financial data is audit‑ready, reproducible, and trusted

• Run intake, prioritization, and roadmap processes for financial data requests across Finance, Accounting, and Engineering
• Mentor and provide technical/product guidance to Data Analysts and Analytics Engineers
• Partner with Data Engineering leadership on shared infrastructure decisions, sprint planning, and resourcing
• Support audits, SOX controls, and external reporting by ensuring data products meet compliance and transparency requirements
• Communicate roadmap, risks, and wins to Finance and Accounting leadership on a regular cadence

• Salaried, DOE
• Long-Term Incentive Plan
