Responsibilities

Develop and execute a comprehensive, multi-year finance technology roadmap that aligns with the company’s strategic objectives and anticipates future business needs

Oversee the architecture, implementation, integration, and optimization of all finance technology platforms, ensuring data flows efficiently and accurately across Salesforce, the Billing platform, Netsuite ERP, and specialized tools like BlackLine, Xactly, and Avalara

Identify and drive significant process efficiencies and automation opportunities within the finance function, leveraging tools such as UiPath for robotic process automation (RPA) to streamline close cycles, reporting, and transactional processing

Drive the adoption of AI and machine learning to transform core finance and customer-facing processes.
