Role Overview

As the Senior Director, Finance Product Lead, you will be the primary architect of the next generation of financial intelligence. Reporting to the SVP of ERP, you will occupy a unique "Translator‑in‑Chief" role—bridging the gap between the Office of the CFO and technical engineering teams. Your mission is to transform our ERP from a static system of record into a dynamic engine of insight, leading the development of a comprehensive Finance Data Mart and serving as the Product Owner for a high‑profile AI Analyst Bot. This role requires a rare blend of deep financial literacy, product management rigor, and the ability to steer elite engineering teams (both internal and external partners like Google) to deliver bleeding‑edge variance analysis tools.

Key Responsibilities

• Finance Data Mart & KPI Strategy – Lead the strategy and roadmap for a centralized Finance Data Mart, ensuring structured, governed data out of the ERP for high‑level consumption.
• KPI Standardization – Collaborate with the Head of FP&A and finance leads globally to define and automate core KPI ingestion, ensuring a "Single Source of Truth" for all corporate reporting.
• System Optimization – Work within the ERP organization to ensure upstream data entry and system configurations support downstream analytical needs.
• AI Innovation & Partner Integration – Partner closely with Google Engineering and internal software teams to build a generative AI bot that allows executives to query financial data using natural language.
• Automated Variance Analysis – Direct engineers in building ML models and LLM prompts that automatically scan datasets, identify drivers of budget vs. actual variances, and provide concise executive summaries.
• Product Management – Define user stories, technical specs, and success metrics for the AI roadmap, ensuring the "Analyst Bot" delivers high‑accuracy, audit‑ready insights.
• Technical Liaison – Sit at the center of a "triad" comprising the CFO, internal engineering, and external tech partners, explaining depreciation logic and API latency across domains.
• Agile Execution – Manage the development lifecycle, prioritizing features that provide the highest "Time‑to‑Insight" for the FP&A team.

Basic Qualifications

• 12+ years in Finance Systems, Product Management, or ERP Leadership; 5+ years managing high‑performing teams.
• Strong fluency in Big Data environments (BigQuery/Snowflake), AI/ML integration, and Cloud ERP architecture.
• Mastery of FP&A workflows, variance analysis, and corporate accounting structures.
• Proven track record of working with "Big Tech" partners (e.g., Google, Microsoft, AWS) on co‑engineered solutions and internal engineering squads.
• Ability to influence and manage by influence across a matrixed organization of finance professionals and software engineers.
