Lead Product Owner, Finance Applications

Overview

This role involves owning the systems and workflows that power the finance organization as it scales globally. The position sits at the center of the finance technology portfolio, spanning:

• NetSuite (ERP core)
• Zip (procurement intake and approvals)
• Ramp and Brex (spend and card programs)
• Metronome (usage-based billing)

You will shape and prioritize the roadmap across this portfolio, driving changes from discovery through deployment in an agile, high-growth environment. The role blends advisory leadership with hands-on execution in the finance systems tool stack.

Responsibilities

• Act as product owner for one or more core finance business process areas (order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and/or record-to-report) and the systems that support them.
  • Run discovery with process owners
  • Define target-state process and system design
  • Own the roadmap and measure success based on value delivered and accuracy
• Lead complex domain problems where there is no established configuration pattern.
  • Examples include international expansion involving entity, currency, tax, and statutory complexity, or new product offerings requiring coordinated design of pricing, billing model, and revenue recognition treatment
• Develop and maintain a holistic architecture strategy for the finance applications ecosystem.
  • Define system boundaries
  • Own how data moves between systems
  • Plan short-, mid-, and long-term needs
  • Coordinate integrations and handoffs with adjacent enterprise systems, including Workday and Salesforce
• Identify and eliminate manual work by replacing spreadsheets, manual data entry, and email-based approvals with core configuration, automated workflows, and integrations.
  • Evaluate new functionality within existing tools and/or new tooling for best fit
• Configure, maintain, and optimize NetSuite.
  • Depending on process ownership, own spend and revenue system workflows feeding the ledger, including:
    • Zip intake and approvals
    • Ramp and Brex card programs and expenses
    • Metronome usage ingestion and downstream invoicing logic
    • Future tooling for advanced revenue recognition
  • Understand, advise, and execute on data flows and upstream data sources that revenue reporting depends on
• Identify, test, and implement practical AI and automation opportunities within owned processes, in a controlled manner with clear impact (time savings and reduction of manual output).
• Own quality across applications by using a lightweight SDLC approach to balance accuracy and agility.
  • Partner with leadership on best practices
  • Serve as mentor and escalation point for peers across Finance and Business Technology on the portfolio’s hardest design questions

Requirements

• 7+ years of hands-on experience as a finance systems professional, including 5+ years of direct NetSuite experience.
  • Demonstrated complex configuration depth
  • Experience supporting a global, multi-entity and multi-currency finance organization
• Product owner or product manager experience in at least one core finance business process area (order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and/or record-to-report).
  • Deep domain experience including discovery with process owners, target-state process design, proposing tradeoffs or workarounds, and owning a roadmap through delivery
  • Familiarity with adjacent areas matters more than equal depth across all three
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across business and technology audiences.
  • Adapt messaging based on audience
  • Build alignment across cross-functional teams
  • Effectively say no to requests and explain why
  • Experience mentoring peers and setting technical standards, with others escalating to you on hard problems
• Demonstrated ability to solve ambiguous, high-stakes process problems without an existing playbook.
  • High autonomy with judgment about when to pull in others for high-impact decisions
  • Examples include international expansion and multi-entity or multi-currency complexity, or new product offerings requiring coordinated design of pricing, billing model, and revenue recognition treatment
• Deep understanding of leading and emerging trends in SaaS finance applications and architecture, including where automation and AI drive innovation.
• Direct experience implementing best practices around change management, regression and UAT planning, segregation of duties, and regulatory requirements while increasing efficiencies.
