Role Overview We are seeking a senior technology leader to own and evolve the firm’s Finance Technology platform—spanning ERP Accounting/GL, FP&A, integrations with firm-wide systems, and the supporting data and analytics stack.

This is a senior role accountable for both Change (strategy, architecture, modernization, transformation delivery) and Run (reliability, controls, service excellence) of mission‐critical finance capabilities that underpin accounting close, planning/forecasting, profitability and strategic analysis, regulatory reporting, and data‐driven decision‐making across the enterprise.

This role directly manages a global team (including offshore/nearshore partners) and will be the primary technology partner to Finance leadership (CFO organization: Controller, FP&A, Treasury, Tax, Procurement, and Finance Operations).

Key Responsibilities Lead the Platform (Strategy, Architecture, Governance) Set the vision and roadmap: for Finance Technology (ERP/GL, subledgers, FP&A/EPM, reconciliations, consolidations, management reporting), grounded in asset‐management finance needs (multi‐GAAP/IFRS, multi‐entity, multi‐currency, fee accruals, product P&L, allocations).

Establish architecture principles: —e.g., domain‐driven design, API‐first, event‐driven, data‐by‐design, zero‐trust—with a vendor‐agnostic stance; evaluate SAP, Oracle, and leading FP&A/EPM platforms on fit‐for‐purpose, TCO, and time‐to‐value rather than brand preference.

Own platform governance: standards, reference architectures, non‐functional requirements (availability, performance, resiliency), and technical debt management.

Change the Platform (Transformational Delivery) Modernize ERP/GL and FP&A/EPM: e.g., S/4HANA or Oracle Fusion roadmaps; planning/forecasting tooling; scenario modeling; driver‐based plans; close acceleration.

Lead data & analytics for Finance: own the finance data model (Chart of Accounts, legal entity hierarchy, cost centers), semantic layers, and self‐service analytics for CFO, FP&A, and Business Unit finance partners.

Embed AI/ML/RPA thoughtfully: journal anomaly detection, automated reconciliations, close‐task copilots, forecast augmentation, narrative generation—balancing innovation with control, auditability, and data privacy.

Deliver with agility: product operating model, one‐week sprints when feasible, small stories, iterative releases, and measurable business outcomes.

Run the Platform (Reliability, Controls, Service Excellence) SRE‐led operations: across ERP, FP&A, integrations, data pipelines: incident/problem/change management, observability (SLIs/SLOs), capacity planning, DR/BCP, access controls, and performance tuning.

Financial controls and compliance: Internal controls over financial reporting, segregation of duties, audit readiness, data retention, regulatory reporting integrity, and change control rigor.

Vendor & commercial management: RFPs, SOWs, SLAs, and performance scorecards for SaaS and managed services partners.

Business Partnership & Influence Trusted advisor to Finance: —shape demand, clarify current‐state vs.

target‐state, articulate principles, goals, anti‐goals, and milestones; present budget implications and value propositions to secure executive sponsorship.

Point of escalation: for mission‐critical issues; communicate not just status, but direction and platform‐wide impact to senior stakeholders.

Qualifications Essential Deep Finance Technology expertise: in asset management or capital markets finance: ERP Accounting/GL, subledgers (AP/AR/Fixed Assets), consolidations, management & statutory reporting, and FP&A (planning, forecasting, scenario and profitability analysis).

Former software engineer or architect: with hands‐on experience in modern implementation and integration practices (APIs, microservices, streaming, event‐driven workflows, CI/CD, infrastructure as code).

Vendor‐agnostic mindset: with a track record evaluating and integrating solutions across SAP/Oracle and leading FP&A/EPM platforms (e.g., Anaplan, OneStream, Adaptive), selecting based on outcomes, not brand.

Data & analytics leadership: finance data modeling (COA, entities, hierarchies), semantic layers, BI platforms, and governing data quality at scale.

AI/Automation literacy: in finance contexts: gen‐AI, ML, and RPA use cases; feasibility assessment; model governance (explainability, bias, privacy); and safe deployment.

Proven global leadership: of internal teams and managed service partners (offshore/nearshore), including budgeting, capacity planning, and multi‐time‐zone delivery.

Executive communication and stakeholder management: ability to engage CFO, Controller, FP&A head; set expectations; and serve as final escalation point.

Agile & ITSM fluency: product operating model, backlog management, metrics/KPIs; ITIL‐aligned operations using platforms like ServiceNow.

Nice‐to‐Have Experience modernizing SAP S/4HANA or Oracle Fusion Cloud: finance landscapes; migrating from on‐prem EPM to cloud FP&A.

Familiarity with investment/portfolio data: (IBOR/ABOR), performance & attribution, and fees—bridging finance with front‐office data.

Relevant certifications: SAFe/Agile leadership, cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), ITIL, or finance systems (SAP, Oracle, OneStream, Anaplan).

Education: Bachelor’s/ master’s in computer science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent experience.
