Overview
A remote contract role is available for a Redwood Finance Automation Solution Designer in Romania (English language).
The organization is automating finance operations on Redwood Finance Automation, covering the record-to-report cycle connected to its ERP, including period-end close, account reconciliation, journal processing, and subsequent reporting.
Responsibilities
- Own solution design for the record-to-report automation scope from current-state understanding through to go-live.
- Partner with finance process owners to understand how the close runs today.
- Determine what to automate, and in what order, then document a solution design that an engineering team can build.
- Remain responsible for the design through build, testing, and go-live, and make decisions to ensure what is delivered matches what was designed.
- Conduct current-state analysis of record-to-report processes with controllers and finance operations leads.
- Produce the target automation solution design across close, reconciliation, journals, and intercompany.
- Define where standard Redwood capability covers requirements versus where extensions are justified.
- Design integrations with SAP S/4HANA or ECC and other source systems.
- Design balance sheet auto-certification rules, controls, approvals, and audit trail so the automated close stands up to audit.
- Guide engineering teams during build and review delivered outputs against the design.
- Develop test strategy and acceptance criteria with finance users.
- Create a roadmap for subsequent waves of automation after initial processes go live.
Requirements
- Solution design ownership on at least one live Redwood Finance Automation implementation, including running design workshops and writing the design.
- 8 or more years of experience in finance transformation, finance systems, or record-to-report process design.
- Working understanding of SAP FI/CO (or the Oracle equivalent) and how close and reconciliation data flows between the ERP and the automation layer.
- Experience running workshops with finance users and translating workshop outcomes into a buildable, testable design.
- Ability to engage senior finance stakeholders and maintain the solution design position when challenged.
Preferred Qualifications
- Hands-on build experience on Redwood, to understand what engineering teams implement relative to the design.
- Experience with BlackLine, Trintech, or SAP Advanced Financial Closing.
- Finance qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or similar).
- Experience in financial services or another regulated industry, including work under SOX or similar audit controls.
