• Partner with VPs and Senior Directors to align on priorities, resolve competing demands, and establish a clear, shared roadmap for Financial Systems.
• Collaborate across the product development lifecycle with Product Management, Engineering, and Accounting to ensure technical sustainability, risks, dependencies, and trade‑offs are well understood and managed.
• Act as a force multiplier by defining and advocating for effective technical solutions and operational processes.
• Own your team’s operations and system availability by ensuring the appropriate monitoring, triage rotations, playbooks, policies, testing, and alerting are in place to support business continuity and on‑call efforts.
• Foster a culture of quality and ownership by establishing strong code review and design standards and advocating for them beyond your team through clear written communication and technical discussions.
• Develop talent by providing meaningful feedback and guidance, creating growth opportunities, and leading by example.

• Develop integrations between ERP and EPM platforms—including NetSuite, Oracle ERP Cloud, SAP, Oracle EPM Cloud, OneStream, and Anaplan—to support consolidation, close, intercompany accounting, allocations, planning, forecasting, management reporting, and regulatory disclosures.
• Use technologies such as REST and SOAP APIs, NetSuite SuiteTalk and SuiteScript, Oracle Integration Cloud, SAP Integration Suite/CPI, MuleSoft, Boomi, Informatica, Fivetran, dbt, Snowflake, SQL, Python, JSON/XML, SFTP, and event‑based integration patterns.
• You have a strong understanding of Accounting and Finance processes, including Procure‑to‑Pay (P2P), Record‑to‑Report (R2R), Order‑to‑Cash (O2C), financial close, consolidation, management reporting, and financial planning.
• Lead the technical design of data models, transformation logic, business rules, calculation engines, reconciliation controls, exception handling, audit trails, and data‑quality monitoring across financial applications.
• Establish reusable integration frameworks and engineering standards covering API management, authentication and authorization, OAuth 2.0, encryption, scheduling, monitoring, logging, error handling, retries, and disaster recovery.
• You understand the governance, security, auditability, data integrity, and internal control requirements associated with financial systems in a regulated and publicly traded environment.
• Implement automated deployment and release‑management processes using Git, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or comparable CI/CD tools, with appropriate version control, environment management, testing, and rollback procedures.
• You have a demonstrated ability to build, develop, and retain high‑performing teams while establishing a culture of accountability, collaboration, quality, and continuous improvement.
• You are an effective cross‑functional leader who can influence senior stakeholders and build strong partnerships across Accounting, Finance, Product, Engineering, Procurement, Internal Audit, and other business functions.
