Excited to be part of a vibrant engineering community that values diversity, hard work, and continuous learning

Believe there are multiple ways to solve most technical problems and are willing to debate the trade-offs
Have become a stronger engineer by making mistakes and learning from them
Are a doer, someone who wants to grow their career and gain experience across technologies and business functions
Senior technology leader capable of owning and evolving a Finance Technology platform (ERP Accounting/GL, FP&A, integrations, data and analytics)

Responsibilities

Lead the Platform (Strategy, Architecture, Governance):
Set the vision and roadmap for Finance Technology (ERP/GL, subledgers, FP&A/EPM, reconciliations, consolidations, management reporting), grounded in asset-management finance needs (multi-GAAP/IFRS, multi-entity, multi-currency, fee accruals, product P&L, allocations)
Establish architecture principles (e.g., domain-driven design, API-first, event-driven, data-by-design, zero-trust) with a vendor-agnostic stance; evaluate SAP, Oracle, and leading FP&A/EPM platforms on fit-for-purpose, TCO, and time-to-value
Own platform governance: standards, reference architectures, non-functional requirements (availability, performance, resiliency), and technical debt management
Change the Platform (Transformational Delivery):
Modernize ERP/GL and FP&A/EPM (e.g., S/4HANA or Oracle Fusion roadmaps; planning/forecasting tooling; scenario modeling; driver-based plans; close acceleration)
Lead data & analytics for Finance: own the finance data model (Chart of Accounts, legal entity hierarchy, cost centers), semantic layers, and self-service analytics for CFO, FP&A, and Business Unit finance partners
Embed AI/ML/RPA thoughtfully (e.g., journal anomaly detection, automated reconciliations, close-task copilots, forecast augmentation, narrative generation)
Directly manage a global team (including offshore/nearshore partners)
Serve as the primary technology partner to Finance leadership (CFO organization: Controller, FP&A, Treasury, Tax, Procurement, and Finance Operations)
