About the role

  • Act as product owner for Emburse’s finance systems, with deep ownership of NetSuite and BillingPlatform, including roadmap, prioritization, optimization, and day-to-day system health
  • Bring a strong product and delivery mindset, leveraging agile and scrum-style practices to drive predictable execution and continuous improvement
  • Lead the design and ongoing optimization of Record-to-Report, Order-to-Cash, and Revenue Recognition processes in a SaaS environment
  • Partner closely with Accounting, Revenue Operations, and Finance leadership to ensure systems support how Finance actually works—not just how systems are designed
  • Drive automation and integrations that reduce manual effort, improve data quality, and accelerate close cycles
  • Ensure system configurations and workflows align with GAAP, SOX, and audit requirements, with a focus on operational rigor
  • Serve as a proactive, highly visible communicator across Finance, IT, Business Systems, and Data teams
  • Translate business needs into clear, actionable requirements for technical delivery teams and external partners
  • Manage system implementations, enhancements, and upgrades with a bias toward hands-on execution
  • Define and monitor KPIs related to system stability, data quality, and finance process automation
  • Provide clear status updates, risks, and mitigation plans to executive stakeholders
  • Build and lead a high-performing team of program managers, business analysts, and systems professionals

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in finance systems, enterprise systems, or business systems leadership within a SaaS or high-growth technology company
  • Deep, hands-on NetSuite experience (this is critical), including ownership of core accounting and operational finance workflows
  • Strong experience with SaaS billing, usage-based or subscription models, and revenue recognition systems (BillingPlatform experience a plus)
  • A proven “hit-the-ground-running” mindset with the ability to quickly assess systems, identify gaps, and drive improvements
  • A natural Swiss Army Knife skill set: product management instincts, agile/scrum delivery experience, and strong stakeholder engagement
  • An operational finance mindset—you think like Accounting and Revenue teams and understand what Finance needs to operate effectively
  • Experience leading cross-functional initiatives between Finance and Technology with minimal oversight
  • Familiarity with SOX, audit readiness, and finance controls in public or pre-public companies
  • Strong communication skills and a proactive leadership style
  • Experience building and mentoring teams in fast-paced environments
