Permanent Intrepid Jobs in Virginia (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.
