Who you are
- 10+ years of experience working at the intersection of finance and technology, with hands-on ownership of financial planning, ERP, or related platforms
- Experience applying AI automation within finance/accounting workflows (close, FP&A, reporting, controls), not just general-purpose AI use cases

- You'll lead the strategy and deployment of finance tools, integrations, AI-powered solutions and workflow automation that transform how the finance organization operates and the tech stack it uses, while partnering to improve data architecture and governance
- You will also shape how financial planning, forecasting, and reporting are executed at scale by enabling systems and data that drive faster, higher-quality decision-making
- You will also drive the deployment of AI solutions across the CFO Org
- Your work will directly reduce manual data wrangling, accelerate leadership decision-making, and enable the finance team to operate more strategically

- Translate finance workflows (close, FP&A, audit, reporting) into AI-enabled processes: map data flows, identify high-ROI automation opportunities (e.g., variance analysis, reconciliations, anomaly detection)
- Design and deploy AI-powered finance solutions (forecasting support, reconciliation agents, reporting) that improve accuracy, cycle time, and decision quality
- Partner with Internal Tools to drive the configuration and optimization of these Finance systems, and the implementation of successor systems; serve as the interface between Finance and Internal Tools regarding systems roadmap
- Serve as the interface between Finance and Data Engineering, ensuring the integrity, completeness, and governance of financial data flowing into planning and reporting systems
- Enable leadership decision-making by building scalable reporting infrastructure and self-service analytics that translate financial data into actionable insights for senior stakeholders
