Customer Master Data Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

26WD99307

Position Overview

We are looking for a Finance Technology Principal Product Manager to lead the end-to-end Finance Close product strategy, with a specific focus on close process transformation, capability ownership, operational scalability, and M&A integration readiness. This role will sit at the intersection of Finance, Accounting, Tax, Treasury, FP&A, Corporate Development, Legal, Enterprise Applications, Engineering, Enterprise Architecture, and Business Architecture. The role will be responsible for helping define how Autodesk improves, automates, governs, and scales the Finance Close process across a complex global systems landscape.

The ideal candidate understands the full close lifecycle across upstream transactions, subledger activity, reconciliations, intercompany, consolidations, revenue recognition, tax, treasury, reporting, controls, and management reporting. They can identify process gaps, clarify ownership, define capability roadmaps, and translate Finance priorities into clear product requirements and execution plans. In addition, this person will play a key role in supporting mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and legal entity integrations by ensuring acquired businesses can be onboarded into Autodesk's finance ecosystem in a scalable, compliant, and operationally sustainable way.

This is not a traditional project management role. This person will own the Finance Close product roadmap and cross-functional decision framework needed to improve close performance, reduce manual work, strengthen controls, clarify capability ownership, and support future M&A activity.

Responsibilities

• Lead the Finance Technology product strategy for end-to-end close transformation, including process simplification, automation, control readiness, reporting dependencies, and system enablement

• Develop and maintain a Finance Close capability roadmap that aligns Finance priorities, business process ownership, technical delivery, and enterprise architecture direction

• Partner with Accounting, Tax, Treasury, FP&A, Revenue, Billing, Collections, Procurement, Corporate Development, Legal, IT, Engineering, and Business Architecture to identify close process gaps, ownership gaps, integration issues, and automation opportunities

• Work with our other product managers and define product requirements across core finance capabilities, including Record to Report, Order to Cash, Procure to Pay, Tax, Treasury, Revenue Recognition, Intercompany, FP&A, Billing, Collections, Consolidations, and Management Reporting

• Assess the end-to-end close process to identify manual workarounds, duplicated effort, reconciliation gaps, reporting dependencies, control weaknesses, data quality issues, and opportunities to improve close cycle time

• Translate complex business, accounting, tax, treasury, compliance, and reporting needs into clear product requirements, process designs, capability maps, integration requirements, and delivery priorities

• Create a cross-functional decision framework for Finance Close capabilities, including clear ownership, intake, prioritization, readiness criteria, release planning, UAT expectations, and business sign-off

• Lead Finance Technology planning for M&A integration, including due diligence support, Day 1 readiness, interim operating models, stabilization, and full systems integration

• Evaluate whether acquired businesses should be integrated immediately into core finance platforms or supported through interim models such as manual postings, legacy ERP extracts, transition service agreements, bridge reporting, or phased integration

• Own the finance systems integration roadmap for acquired entities, including ERP onboarding, legal entity setup, chart of accounts alignment, intercompany requirements, banking readiness, tax configuration, revenue recognition impacts, reporting integration, and close process readiness

• Partner with Enterprise Architecture and Engineering to define scalable integration patterns for acquired-company data, financial transactions, master data, reporting, controls, reconciliations, and system cutover.

• Drive alignment on finance master data decisions, including legal entities, customers, vendors, products, cost centers, profit centers, tax registrations, bank accounts, payment methods, reporting hierarchies, and consolidation requirements

• Where needed, support M&A due diligence by assessing finance systems complexity, integration risk, compliance exposure, data quality, reporting gaps, close readiness, and long-term operational impact

• Define Finance UAT and cutover expectations for close transformation and M&A integration work, including test scenarios, reconciliation requirements, business validation, control evidence, and sign-off criteria

• Create reusable playbooks, templates, checklists, capability maps, and decision frameworks for close process improvement and future M&A finance integrations

Minimum Qualifications

• Strong experience in Finance Technology, Finance Product Management, Finance Transformation, Enterprise Applications, Business Systems, or Finance Operations leadership roles

• Deep understanding of end-to-end Finance Close processes, including Record to Report, subledger close, journal entries, reconciliations, intercompany, consolidations, reporting, controls, and audit readiness

• Experience improving or transforming close processes across a complex enterprise systems landscape

• Experience with M&A integration, legal entity onboarding, ERP integration, finance process transformation, or acquisition-related systems work

• Strong understanding of upstream and downstream finance dependencies across Order to Cash, Procure to Pay, Tax, Treasury, Revenue Recognition, FP&A, Billing, Collections, and Management Reporting

• Experience working with ERP platforms such as SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, NetSuite, Workday Financials, or similar enterprise finance systems

• Ability to translate accounting, tax, treasury, FP&A, and finance operations needs into product requirements, capability roadmaps, process designs, and delivery plans

• Experience partnering with senior Finance stakeholders, Accounting, Tax, Treasury, Legal, Corporate Development, Engineering, Enterprise Architecture, Business Architecture, and external integration partners

• Strong knowledge of financial controls, audit readiness, SOX requirements, reconciliations, reporting requirements, data quality, and compliance impacts

• Ability to operate in ambiguous environments where business processes, systems, ownership, decision rights, and integration strategy may not yet be clearly defined

• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex finance process and systems decisions to both business and technical audiences

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SAP S/4HANA finance capabilities, SAP Central Finance, SAP RAR, SAP SOM, SAP FICA, SAP DRC, Vertex, BlackLine, Anaplan, Workday, Salesforce, or enterprise data warehouse platforms

• Experience supporting global companies with multi-entity, multi-currency, multi-tax jurisdiction, intercompany, statutory reporting, and consolidation complexity

• Experience with acquisition integration, divestitures, transition service agreements, financial data migration, acquired-company ERP rationalization, or legal entity onboarding

• Experience defining close transformation roadmaps, close calendars, reconciliation strategies, reporting readiness plans, cutover plans, UAT strategy, and hypercare models

• Experience creating product roadmaps, capability maps, process flows, integration requirements, executive-level decision documents, and reusable operating playbooks

• Experience with process mining, workflow automation, reconciliation automation, financial close management tools, or close performance metrics

Success Measures

• Finance has a clear product roadmap for improving the end-to-end close process across systems, teams, and capabilities

• Close process ownership, handoffs, dependencies, readiness criteria, and decision rights are clearly defined across Finance and Technology

• Manual workarounds, reconciliation gaps, reporting delays, and process bottlenecks are identified, prioritized, governed, and reduced through a clear roadmap

• Close cycle time, data quality, control readiness, and reporting confidence improve over time

• Finance Technology work is prioritized based on enterprise close impact, risk reduction, automation value, M&A readiness, and operational scalability

• Acquired entities can operate with clear finance controls, reporting, payment, billing, tax, treasury, revenue recognition, and close processes

• Finance integration decisions for M&A are made early, documented clearly, and aligned across Finance, IT, Legal, Tax, Treasury, Corporate Development, Engineering, and Enterprise Architecture

• Acquisition integration work becomes repeatable through playbooks, patterns, templates, scalable system designs, and reusable decision frameworks

• Finance UAT, cutover, reconciliation, control validation, and business sign-off expectations are clear before go-live

• Integration risk is reduced across financial close, statutory reporting, tax compliance, revenue recognition, audit, SOX controls, reporting, and long-term operations

What This Role Owns

This role will serve as the Finance Technology product owner for the end-to-end close capability. Key ownership areas include:

• End-to-end close process strategy and roadmap

• Close process optimization, automation, and standardization

• Cross-functional close capability ownership across Finance and Technology

• Close calendar, dependencies, handoffs, controls, and readiness criteria

• Reconciliations, journal entry processes, intercompany, consolidation inputs, and reporting dependencies

• Finance master data impacts on close performance and reporting accuracy

• Close-related requirements for legal entity onboarding and M&A integration

• Reusable M&A finance integration playbooks, templates, and decision frameworks

• Technology enablement across SAP, BlackLine, Anaplan, Workday, Salesforce, data platforms, and related finance systems

What Makes This Role Critical

The Finance Close process is one of the most important enterprise capabilities because it determines the speed, accuracy, control, and confidence with which the company reports financial results. In a complex global environment, close performance depends on many upstream processes, systems, teams, data flows, reconciliations, controls, and reporting dependencies working together.

M&A adds another layer of complexity by introducing new business models, legacy systems, acquired-company data, legal entities, tax obligations, reporting requirements, banking needs, revenue recognition impacts, and tight integration timelines. This role is critical because it creates a single product leadership point for improving the end-to-end close capability while also ensuring Autodesk can support M&A activity without creating long-term operational debt, reporting gaps, manual workarounds, audit risk, or unclear process ownership.

The person in this role will help Finance Technology move from reactive project execution to proactive capability ownership, repeatable integration patterns, and a scalable close transformation roadmap.
