Job description

About Coastal Waste & Recycling

At Coastal Waste & Recycling, we’re building more than a company, we’re building a team. As one of the fastest-growing privately held waste and recycling companies in the Southeast, we’re looking for people who take pride in their work, put safety first, and are ready to grow with us.

Manager, Financial Systems - Workday & Adaptive Planning

We’re looking for an experienced Manager, Financial Systems - Workday & Adaptive Planning to join our Corporate Finance team in Boca Raton.

This isn’t a role where you’ll simply manage vendors or coordinate system requests. We’re looking for someone who knows Workday Financial Management and Adaptive Planning inside and out, enjoys being hands‑on, and can help us maximize the capabilities of both platforms.

If you enjoy building solutions, solving complex system challenges, and helping Finance teams work smarter, we’d love to hear from you!

What You’ll Do

As our Financial Systems Manager, you’ll serve as the primary functional expert for Workday Financial Management and Workday Adaptive Planning, partnering closely with Accounting, FP&A, IT, and Operations to improve how our financial systems support the business.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Workday Financial Management: Own the functional administration, configuration, and continuous improvement of Workday Financial Management, including business processes, financial hierarchies, worktags, security, and reporting.
• Workday Adaptive Planning: Build, maintain, and enhance planning models, dimensions, assumptions, versions, dashboards, and reports that support budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning.
• Financial Reporting: Develop and improve financial reports, calculated fields, dashboards, and reporting structures to provide accurate and timely business insights.
• System Configuration & Support: Troubleshoot configuration, reporting, data, and integration issues, taking ownership of challenges through resolution.
• Process Improvement: Identify opportunities to automate manual processes, streamline workflows, improve data accuracy, and reduce spreadsheet dependency.
• Finance Partnership: Collaborate with the Corporate Controller, Director of FP&A, and Finance teams to translate business needs into effective system solutions.
• System Enhancements: Manage testing, upgrades, releases, system changes, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Data Integrity & Controls: Maintain appropriate system security, segregation of duties, financial controls, and data governance.
• Acquisition Integration: Support the integration of acquired businesses into standardized financial systems, reporting structures, and processes.
• Training & Support: Provide functional guidance and training to Finance users to improve system adoption and utilization.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a hands‑on financial systems professional who combines strong technical Workday expertise with a solid understanding of Accounting and FP&A.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, Business, or a related field.
• 5+ years of hands‑on experience administering, configuring, and supporting Workday Financial Management and Workday Adaptive Planning.
• Demonstrated experience building and maintaining Adaptive Planning models, dimensions, accounts, assumptions, versions, dashboards, and reporting.
• Strong experience configuring Workday Financial Management, including business processes, financial hierarchies, worktags, and reporting.
• Experience developing Workday reports, calculated fields, dashboards, and financial reporting structures.
• Strong understanding of Accounting, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and financial close processes.
• Experience troubleshooting system configurations, data issues, and integrations.
• Experience managing system testing, releases, enhancements, and change management.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership, and collaborate across Finance, IT, and Operations.

Preferred Qualifications:

• 7+ years of financial systems experience.
• Advanced experience administering both Workday Financial Management and Workday Adaptive Planning.
• Workday and/or Adaptive Planning certifications.
• Experience supporting a multi‑entity, multi‑location, or acquisition‑driven organization.
• Experience integrating Workday with operational systems, data warehouses, or other financial platforms.
• Familiarity with Workday Prism Analytics, Accounting Center, or related Workday capabilities.
• Experience supporting acquisitions and financial systems integrations.
• Previous experience in Accounting, FP&A, or financial reporting.

What Makes This Opportunity Different?

At Coastal, we’re not looking for someone to simply maintain our systems. We’re looking for someone who can help us make them better.

You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of two critical Finance platforms, work directly with Accounting and FP&A leadership, and influence how financial information is captured, analyzed, and reported across the organization.

As Coastal continues to grow through acquisitions and operational expansion, you’ll play a key role in building scalable solutions, improving reporting capabilities, and helping our Finance teams work more efficiently.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys being the go‑to expert, solving problems, and seeing the direct impact of their work.

We offer:

• Competitive compensation
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
