We are seeking a senior technology leader to own and evolve the firm's Finance Technology platform-spanning ERP Accounting/GL, FP&A, integrations with firm-wide systems, and the supporting data and analytics stack. This is a senior role accountable for both Change (strategy, architecture, modernization, transformation delivery) and Run (reliability, controls, service excellence) of mission-critical finance capabilities that underpin accounting close, planning/forecasting, profitability and strategic analysis, regulatory reporting, and data-driven decision-making across the enterprise.

This role directly manages a global team (including offshore/nearshore partners) and will be the primary technology partner to Finance leadership (CFO organization: Controller, FP&A, Treasury, Tax, Procurement, and Finance Operations).

• Deliver with agility: product operating model, one-week sprints when feasible, small stories, iterative releases, and measurable business outcomes.

• SRE-led operations: across ERP, FP&A, integrations, data pipelines: incident/problem/change management, observability (SLIs/SLOs), capacity planning, DR/BCP, access controls, and performance tuning.
• Financial controls and compliance:
  Internal controls over financial reporting, segregation of duties, audit readiness, data retention, regulatory reporting integrity, and change control rigor.
• Vendor & commercial management: RFPs, SOWs, SLAs, and performance scorecards for SaaS and managed services partners.
