ABOUT THE JOB

We're building the financial systems backbone that lets a fast-scaling manufacturing company move with the speed of a software startup and the rigor of a public company. As Finance Solutions Manager, you'll sit at the intersection of Finance, Operations, and Engineering-owning the platforms, data, and processes that turn raw operational activity into trustworthy financial insight. This is a builder's role:

• You'll inherit ambiguity, systems that do and don't yet talk to each other, and a business growing faster than its tooling
• Your mandate is to close that gap with scalable ERP workflows, clean cost and revenue data, and automation that replaces spreadsheets and manual reconciliation
• You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with controllers, FP&A, supply chain, and data engineering-translating messy real-world requirements into systems that are auditable, performant, and built to last through the next order of magnitude of growth

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Own the design and continuous improvement of core finance systems-ERP (e.g., Oracle Fusion, NetSuite, SAP), cost accounting, and the data pipelines feeding FP&A and reporting
• Partner with Finance and Operations stakeholders to gather requirements, then translate them into configured, tested, well-documented solutions rather than one-off workarounds
• Lead cross-functional projects end to end: entity setups, cost and receipt accounting flows, work-order and inventory costing, order-to-cash and procure-to-pay improvements
• Build the connective tissue between transactional systems and analytics-defining the data models, controls, and reconciliations that make month-end fast and the numbers defensible
• Drive automation and self-service, cutting manual close tasks and giving finance partners direct access to reliable data
• Establish standards for change management, testing, and documentation so the platform stays clean as the team scales
• Act as the bridge between Finance and Engineering/Data teams, ensuring technical decisions reflect real accounting and operational needs
• Mentor analysts and set the bar for how finance systems work gets done

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• 12+ years in finance systems, finance operations, technical accounting, or a closely related field, including hands-on ownership of an ERP or financial platform
• 5+ years of managing a group of product managers or business system analysts
• Demonstrated experience designing and implementing finance solutions end to end-requirements through deployment and adoption-not just administering existing systems
• Strong grounding in accounting fundamentals: general ledger, cost accounting, revenue, and the mechanics of a monthly close
• Proven track record leading cross-functional projects across Finance, Operations, and technical teams
• Comfort working with data at scale: SQL or equivalent, plus fluency reasoning about data models, reconciliations, and controls
• A builder's mindset-able to operate in ambiguity, prioritize ruthlessly, and ship pragmatic solutions in a fast-changing environment

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Experience at a high-growth technology company (FAANG-scale or well-funded startup) and/or a manufacturing, hardware, or supply-chain-intensive business-ideally both
• Hands-on experience with Oracle Fusion Cloud (SCM, Cost Management, Receipt Accounting) or comparable enterprise ERP modules
• Familiarity with modern data platforms and analytics tooling (e.g., warehouses, Foundry, dbt, Looker/Tableau) and how they integrate with transactional finance systems
• Exposure to manufacturing cost concepts-work-order costing, standard vs. actual cost, inventory valuation, and labor/overhead absorption
• Experience standing up systems and processes for a company scaling through rapid headcount, entity, or geographic expansion
• A background that blends technical depth with finance credibility-e.g., prior roles as a systems analyst, finance transformation lead, or controller-turned-systems-owner
