Qualifications

• Five or more years of experience across finance systems, business applications, ERP implementation, data engineering, or financial-process automation.
• Demonstrated record of shipping automation that Finance or Accounting teams use in production.
• Strong understanding of core accounting processes, including the general ledger, debits and credits, journal entries, reconciliations, record-to-report, procure-to-pay, and the monthly close.
• Strong SQL skills and working proficiency in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or another relevant scripting language.

• Automate recurring reconciliations, journal-entry support, accrual calculations, cash activity, intercompany matching, prepaid and fixed-asset schedules, and close reporting.
• Replace spreadsheet handoffs with controlled, repeatable workflows and exception-based review.

• Measure close-cycle time, manual effort, exception rates, rework, and post-close adjustments to demonstrate impact.
• Own the configuration, reliability, and evolution of the core finance technology stack, including ERP, procure-to-pay, payments, payroll, and data/reporting systems.
• Design and maintain integrations using APIs, webhooks, workflow platforms, and data pipelines.
• Establish clear systems of record, master-data standards, and ownership for critical financial data.
• Lead implementations and enhancements from requirements gathering through solution design, testing, UAT, deployment, training, and production support.
• Work with Engineering and Data teams when a solution requires shared infrastructure or deeper product integration.
