Finance Process & Systems Lead

Build the systems and process backbone of the Finance function in one of the most complex industries. You'll design the Finance system landscape, redesign core processes end to end, lead the Finance side of the ERP rollout, and turn AI and automation into core infrastructure.

What you'll do

• Own trawa's Finance technology stack end to end – from today's fragmented landscape to a fully integrated stack built around a modern cloud ERP.
• Lead the broader Finance IT transformation, including architecture, vendor selection, integrations, and the roadmap for the ERP, billing system, and future Finance tools.
• Redesign core Finance processes end to end – including Quote-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, and Record-to-Report – with scalability, controls by design, and automation built in from the start.
• Own the automation roadmap: define what gets automated, in which order, and with what expected return on investment.
• Own Finance master data and the Finance layer of the data warehouse, from source systems and governance through to reporting-ready tables.
• Translate energy-specific data – including time series, accruals, and portfolio pricing – into Finance-grade structures together with Tech, Data, and Business Operations.

What you'll need

• 6+ years of experience in Finance Systems, Finance Processes, or FinOps in a fast-growing scale-up, with a proven track record of building and improving systems and processes.
