• Own production operations, including month-end and quarter-end close support, ITSM ticket resolution, vendor escalation when needed, and coverage for critical processing windows.

• Lead internal and external audit support, including control walkthroughs, evidence, UARs, and change reviews.

• Administer the financial systems portfolio and the integrations between ERP, iPaaS, HRIS, and GRC/audit platforms; drive platform consolidation where it reduces risk or cost.

• Improve system performance through configuration, workflow design, automation, and resolution of stuck approvals (for example, purchase orders and requisitions).

• Maintain runbooks, change management, and user training covering access, incident response, monitoring, and recovery.

• Identify and deliver automation and AI use cases in close, reporting, reconciliation, and controls, with security, SOX, and auditability guardrails.

• Occasional travel is required (about 10%).

• 5+ years leading financial systems administrators, analysts, developers, or similar roles, including coaching, performance management, and work allocation.

• Experience supporting financial systems in a SOX-controlled public-company environment: change management, access governance, user access reviews, audit support, and segregation of duties.

• Experience overseeing or reviewing integrations between ERP and adjacent platforms (HRIS, expense, reporting/disclosure, iPaaS), including enough technical depth to troubleshoot failures and challenge solution design.

• Working knowledge of U.S. GAAP processes, including the financial close, P2P, payroll, and reporting.

• Experience delivering automation or system-optimization work with a measurable improvement to close, controls, or user experience preferred.

• Familiarity with AI-enabled finance tools (automation, anomaly detection, or reporting assistants) and with governing those tools under SOX and security requirements preferred.
