Senior Financial Systems Manager

Senior Financial Systems Manager

We’re looking for a Senior Financial Systems Manager to join our FP&A team in North America. As a Senior Financial Systems Manager within FP&A, you will own Lightspeed’s enterprise performance management (EPM) platform end‑to‑end and act as the primary liaison between Finance and the Data Office, IT, and broader business systems on everything that touches financial planning infrastructure. You will be the technical owner of Pigment, our new planning system, and a hands‑on builder driving its architecture, integrations, and evolution.

• Platform Ownership: Own Pigment as a system, including data models, calculation logic, dimensional structure, security and access design, version control, and release management. Make the architectural calls that determine how planning works at Lightspeed for years.
• Integrations & Data Architecture: Partner with the Data Office on upstream data quality, source system integrations, and the dimensional standards that flow through ERP, EPM, and BI. Own the integrity of how data moves between Big Query, Net Suite, Workday, Salesforce, Looker, and Pigment.
• Standards & Team Empowerment: Define the technical excellence required for our Pigment environment by creating robust modelling guidelines, scalable patterns, and best‑practice implementations. Drive team‑wide proficiency and confidence through comprehensive documentation and targeted training for FP&A.
• Drive Strategic Impact: Collaborate closely with the Director, FP&A leadership, and senior partners in Finance and Data to convert business requirements into technical platform solutions. Define methodology and influence long‑term roadmap.

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Information Systems, or a related field.
• Extensive hands‑on EPM platform experience, with deep ownership of at least one of Pigment, Anaplan, Adaptive Planning, etc.
• Track record of leading or anchoring an EPM implementation through go‑live.
• Deep fluency in EPM data modelling: dimensional design, calculation logic, allocations, security architecture, and integrations.
• Strong understanding of finance source systems and data flows across ERP, data warehouse, and BI. Direct experience with Big Query, Net Suite, Workday, Salesforce, or Looker is a strong plus.
• SQL proficiency for diagnosing upstream data issues. Python or scripting experience is a plus.
• Working knowledge of SOX compliance and its implications for financial systems, access reviews, and change management.
• AI fluency. Use LLMs, copilots, and automation tools in actual workflow, not just in conversation.
• Comfortable working across vendors, internal IT, and Data Office partners to land complex technical decisions.
• Ability to write clear specs, requirements documents, and technical documentation that holds up under scrutiny.
• Comfort explaining technical tradeoffs to senior finance leaders without losing them in jargon.
• Cross‑functional fluency. Experience across Data, Accounting, IT, and business teams.
• Bias toward structural thinking. Know when to ship a workaround and when to push back and design properly.

• Fluency in SaaS and payments business mechanics.
• Pigment Certified Modeler certification or equivalent platform credential.
• Public‑company finance environment exposure.
• Experience supporting a system migration end‑to‑end.
• FP&A foundation, not pure systems administration. Built or supported revenue models, expense forecasts, headcount plans, or unit economics frameworks.

• A flexible work environment that empowers you to do your best work.
• A culture that celebrates performance.
• The chance to make an impact in a team that’s big enough for career growth, but lean enough to make your voice heard.
• Career‑defining opportunities.
• Flexible paid time off and remote work policies.
• Equity options.
• Contributions to your 401k.
• Training opportunities to grow your skills and career.
• Health and wellness credit.
• Time off to volunteer and give back to your community.
• Interest groups, employee‑led networks, social committees and sponsored sports teams.
• Computer purchase program to get your personal Macbook.
• Enhanced parental leave.
