Overview

POSITION SUMMARY The Manager, Financial Systems & Solutions (FSS) is an individual contributor within Vertiv's Americas Controllership team, reporting to the Director, FSS. This role focuses on post-merger integration from a finance and accounting perspective — assessing acquired entities' ERP environments, aligning transaction flows to Vertiv standards, and resolving accounting issues that arise during and after integration. The ideal candidate brings three core strengths: a solid accounting foundation (able to follow debits and credits end-to-end through an ERP), critical and investigative thinking (able to diagnose complex issues independently and self-learn new systems and business models), and exceptional organizational discipline (able to manage multiple concurrent workstreams with rigor and accountability). Beyond M&A, this role supports ERP configurations, process enhancements, and system-driven accounting issue resolution across the Americas.

5. Administer and respond to IT Service Now tickets assigned to Controllership/FSS activities.
