LOCATION

Fully Remote | European time zones with overlap with London working hours

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

FINANCE PROCESS DISCOVERY & PRIORITIZATION

• Map Finance and Revenue Operations processes, systems, dependencies, and existing automation.
• Establish measurable baselines for current workflows.
• Rank automation opportunities based on impact, complexity, data availability, and risk.
• Prioritize the month-end close before expanding into additional finance workflows.
• Evaluate build, buy, and configure options, focusing custom AI development where it provides the greatest value.

RECORD TO REPORT & MONTH-END CLOSE

• Build and improve workflows supporting close management and journal entry creation and validation.
• Support automation across revenue recognition, cost of sales, commission calculations, accruals, provisions, and prepayments.
• Develop workflows for balance sheet, bank, and intercompany reconciliations.
• Support variance analysis, VAT, and audit preparation.
• Develop early pilots around balance sheet reconciliations, journal entry validation, close calculations, and variance analysis with commentary.

PROCURE TO PAY

• Build workflows supporting invoice capture and validation.
• Automate 3-way matching, duplicate detection, vendor master validation, and GL coding.
• Support payment proposal checks and supplier email workflows.
• Improve incentive payment queries and reconciliation processes.

ORDER TO CASH

• Support contract-based billing checks and invoice validation.
• Build workflows for cash application, collections, disputes, credit, and DSO monitoring.
• Support customer email workflows with automatic action summaries.

REPORTING, FP&A, TREASURY & EXPENSES

• Automate recurring board and management reporting.
• Support forecast variance analysis.
• Build workflows around cash position and cash flow forecasting.
• Support expense claim validation and policy checks.

AI AUTOMATION & INTEGRATION ENGINEERING

• Build AI agents, workflows, and integrations across ERP systems, planning tools, and data platforms.
• Develop reusable components for recurring finance patterns, including matching and reconciliation, rules-based calculations, anomaly and duplicate detection, validation, variance commentary, and inbox handling.
• Apply deterministic code to calculations and matching while using AI models for extraction, classification, exception triage, and commentary.
• Integrate APIs, ERPs, finance platforms, and data warehouses.

CONTROLS, AUDITABILITY & GOVERNANCE

• Design approval workflows, role-based access, segregation of duties, exception handling, and audit trails into finance automation.
• Ensure workflows provide the evidence, reproducibility, and change control required for external audits.
• Support secure handling of financial and employee data.

• Work with the implementation partner alongside Finance, Revenue Operations, Data, and Engineering teams.

MEASUREMENT & DOCUMENTATION

• Measure automation results against established finance KPIs.
• Track metrics such as days to close, percentage of reconciliations auto-prepared, cash application match rates, touchless invoice rates, DSO, and forecast accuracy.
• Document system architecture, controls, workflows, and operating procedures.
• Maintain a prioritized roadmap for future automation initiatives.

QUALIFICATIONS

EXPERIENCE

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years shipping AI-powered workflows, agents, or integrations in production.
