Finance Process & Systems Lead

Must-haves

• 6+ years of experience in Finance Systems, Finance Processes, or FinOps in a fast-growing scale-up. You've built and improved systems and processes – not just operated them.
• A proven track record of redesigning Quote-to-Cash in a complex environment with multiple product logics, numerous data sources, high volumes, and regulatory complexity. You also have a solid understanding of Procure-to-Pay and Record-to-Report.
• Hands-on ERP implementation experience with a modern cloud ERP. You've personally owned requirements, process design, data migration, cutover, or hypercare.
• Technical fluency to build, not just specify: You use SQL and Python in live workflows and are comfortable working with REST APIs, webhooks, and direct data access rather than relying only on standard reports.
• An AI-first mindset with a track record: You've redesigned real processes using AI agents and workflow automation and have hands-on experience with tools such as Claude Code, n8n, or comparable solutions.
• Experience designing master data and data warehouse structures: You've established Finance data models, governance, and quality rules and worked with Tech or BI to build a commercially usable data warehouse layer, from source systems through to reporting-ready tables.
• An ownership mindset and business-fluent English.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience in the energy market, utilities, or trading. This will noticeably reduce your time to value.
• An accounting qualification or background, such as CPA, ACCA, Bilanzbuchhalter:in, or Wirtschaftsprüfer:in.
• German language skills.

Don't worry if you don't match every box. We value ownership, build instinct, and learning speed over perfect CVs.
