The Senior Manager, Finance Operations & Systems reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer and serves as Tideworks Technology's hands-on finance transformation and systems leader. This is an individual contributor role at launch, responsible for building and operating a scalable Finance technology, data, reporting, and process environment while personally leading the company's transition from IFS to Net Suite.

The role partners closely with the Corporate Controller, Assistant Controller, Revenue & Finance Operations Manager, Revenue Accounting Lead, Director of FP&A, and business leaders while maintaining clear accountability boundaries:
Finance process owners approve accounting and operational requirements; IT owns infrastructure, identity, cybersecurity, and technical standards; implementation partners configure and build solutions; this role coordinates the operating model and ensures solutions are controlled, supportable, and fit for Tideworks.

• Maintain the integrated Finance implementation plan, decision log, risk and issue log, dependency tracking, resource plan, and readiness dashboard; elevate scope, timeline, capacity, quality, and control risks promptly.
• Hold the implementation partner and specialist vendors accountable for deliverables, documentation, defect resolution, knowledge transfer, and sustainable support.
• Own the Finance data-migration framework from IFS to Net Suite, including data inventory, mapping, cleansing, conversion rules, mock loads, control totals, reconciliation, sign-offs, and retention of historical data.
• Coordinate validation of opening balances, GL detail, AP and AR, deferred revenue, contract assets, project WIP, fixed assets, intercompany, tax balances, bank balances, customer/vendor masters, and other financial data.
• Establish finance master-data governance for chart of accounts, entities, departments, locations, projects, customers, vendors, items, tax codes, approval hierarchies, and reporting dimensions.
• Ensure conversion evidence, reconciliation procedures, exceptions, approvals, and audit trail are complete and retained.
• Design and coordinate end-to-end UAT across Finance and connected systems, including test scenarios, data, scripts, expected results, role-based access, defect triage, retesting, evidence, and business-owner approvals.
• Coordinate mock conversions, financial close simulations,…
