Deltek Costpoint Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Senior Manager, Financial Systems is responsible for leading the administration, governance, optimization, and continuous improvement of Intrepid' s financial systems environment, with primary ownership of Deltek Costpoint and associated applications. Reporting to the Vice President, Program Finance, this role serves as the function leader for financial systems and the key bridge between Finance, Accounting, Contracts, HR, IT, and other business stakeholders, ensuring financial systems support accurate reporting, efficient workflows, strong internal controls, and compliance with U.S. GAAP and applicable government contracting requirements, including FAR, DFARS, CAS, and DCAA expectations.

The role acts as both the day-to-day system owner and the business-facing leader for finance systems initiatives, including user administration, configuration, reporting, integrations, upgrades, testing, documentation, and process improvement. Intrepid currently operates three Deltek Costpoint instances under active re-implementation; the Manager will help define and advance the consolidation and strategic roadmap, driving a hub-and-spoke approach in which Costpoint remains the core financial system of record and complementary applications are aligned to support planning, reporting, labor, contracts, and operational workflows.

The ideal candidate brings strong experience in a government contractor environment, including Costpoint administration, financial and project accounting processes, multi-entity data structures, system controls, and audit readiness. This leader should also help modernize the back office through practical use of automation, workflow redesign, and agentic AI capabilities to streamline recurring support, reporting, exception monitoring, and other finance-systems activities while maintaining appropriate governance and control discipline.
