Information Technology; Business Systems Analysis

We are seeking a Principal Process Architect to spearhead end-to-end process design and implementation across Core Finance, encompassing plan-to-perform and underlying financial operations. Operating as a senior individual contributor, you will collaborate with key technology and finance leaders to turn strategic goals into actionable outcomes—simplifying complex workflows, re-architecting processes, driving full-scale automation, and enabling real-time analytics. In this role, you will hold complete accountability for key transformation work streams, managing every phase from target-state workflow design and data alignment to requirements definition, implementation, and organizational adoption.

The ideal candidate is a strong process and transformation leader with experience spanning finance processes, business systems, and cross-functional program delivery. They understand core finance and accounting deeply enough to engage credibly with finance stakeholders, while also bringing the structured thinking and technical fluency needed to guide solution design and systems-enabled change. They are comfortable leading a team, navigating ambiguity, and influencing across a complex stakeholder environment.

They can balance strategic roadmap thinking with practical execution, and they bring a modernization mindset that includes process simplification, connected processes, and thoughtful application of AI and emerging technologies.
