Come be a part of our journey! We're looking for a Finance Systems & Transformation Manager to own the technology ecosystem that powers ClickHouse's Finance organization. This is a rare, high-impact role at the intersection of Finance, Engineering, and Operations, reporting to the Corporate Controller and serving as the Finance technology leader. In this role, you'll own Finance systems end-to-end such as implementations, integrations, data integrity, AI adoption, and the governance framework that keeps it all running reliably. If you've thrived in high-growth environments, love building systems that didn't exist before, and want to do work that directly shapes a company's path to IPO, this role is built for you. What You'll Do Process Transformation & Strategic Leadership Develop and own the long-term Finance Systems roadmap, ensuring investments align with business priorities and operational scalability. Lead Finance's technology transformation by driving strategic initiatives that modernize business processes, improve effectiveness, and enable the Finance team to scale toward public-company readiness. Challenge existing Finance workflows such as Record-to-Report, Procure-to-Pay, and Order-to-Cash to identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, and automate. Serve as the bridge between Finance and technical teams, translating business requirements into scalable system solutions and owning successful delivery, adoption, and change management. System Implementations Lead enterprise-wide Finance system implementations, major enhancements, and platform migrations. Own cross-functional dependency mapping for every implementation by documenting upstream and downstream impacts. Embed IT General Controls (ITGCs) into each new system as it's implemented, building the SOX-ready control environment required for a public company. Integration Management & Data Integrity Lead the implementation of integrations and remediate recurring failure points across the Finance technology stack, reducing manual intervention and improving data reliability. Own the integrity of Finance data flows across all integrated systems by proactively identifying breakdowns, resolving mapping failures, and eliminating manual workarounds that create control risk. Develop scalable reconciliation frameworks and automated controls that surface discrepancies in real time, before they reach financial reporting. AI & Automation Design, prototype, and deploy AI agents and intelligent workflows that automate repetitive processes, manage exceptions, improve reconciliations, and increase the speed and accuracy of Finance operations. Partner with Engineering, IT, and business stakeholders to design and deploy secure, governed AI-enabled workflows that improve productivity, reduce manual effort, and enhance decision-making. Define the governance framework for AI adoption in Finance by developing data access controls, acceptable use policies, auditability standards, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints. What You Bring Along 7+ years of experience in Finance Systems, Enterprise Applications, Business Systems, or Finance Transformation within a high-growth technology company. You’ve been in this environment before and know what it demands. Deep understanding of Finance business processes: Record-to-Report, Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, Treasury, and the Financial Close. Proven track record leading enterprise system implementations and large, cross-functional initiatives from requirements through go-live and adoption. Hands-on experience owning and optimizing Finance technology ecosystems: NetSuite is required; experience with Stripe, Ramp, Workday, or CaptivateIQ is a meaningful plus. Experience designing and managing integrations across enterprise business applications. You understand what breaks, why it breaks, and how to fix it at the root. Strong data skills: SQL, API integrations, data transformation (dbt), and moving data between the warehouse and the Finance stack.
