You will own the technical direction for the finance technology stack, turn complex finance requirements into scalable, automated, and compliant solutions, and build a high-performing team that delivers measurable business outcomes.

You will partner closely with the CFO organization, Controllership, Tax, Treasury, Procurement, FP&A, IT, Security, and Data teams.
