• Partner with enterprise architecture, IT, and data teams to ensure finance systems align with broader technology standards and infrastructure
• Support month-end and quarter-end close processes through cross-system coordination and troubleshooting
• Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation including system design specifications, integration requirements, process workflows, and architectural decision records to ensure institutional knowledge and support stakeholder alignment

What you’ll need:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Information Systems, or related field; MBA or CPA preferred
• 12+ years of experience in finance systems architecture or administration, preferably in high-growth or technology-driven environments
• Strong working knowledge of Workday Financials with ability to understand technical capabilities, limitations, and integration requirements

• Experience supporting financial close processes and understanding of close automation opportunities
• Experience architecting system integrations, APIs, and middleware platforms in a finance context
• Understanding of data architecture principles and experience with data warehousing or analytics platforms
• Familiarity with process automation tools (RPA, workflow automation) and AI/ML applications in finance
• Proven ability to coordinate across technical teams and translate business requirements into system solutions
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills with the ability to build consensus, influence without direct authority, and drive alignment across Finance, IT, and business stakeholders
• Strategic thinking with ability to balance long-term architecture vision with near-term tactical needs
