We are hiring a Finance Transformation Lead to drive the modernization of the finance function. You will be the finance change agent and program owner across our biggest foundational bets: ERP implementation, process automation, a 5-day close, controllership and SOX-lite, and standardized data and dashboards.
This is a senior, cross-functional leadership role for someone who has run large finance transformations before. You will act as the finance PMO and process architect, reporting to the CFO and working across the entire finance organization and its advisors. You should be ready tomanage multiple complex workstreams, have an analytical mind, pay keen attention to detail, and love to get your hands dirty.
What you'll do:
- Own the finance side of the ERP program (with system integrators and/or ERP vendors) from BRD through design decisions, data migration, parallel run, and cutover — including alignment with external auditors on post-cutover reporting.
- Act as Airalo’s primary counterpart to the SI and other delivery partners, holding them to quality, pace, and commercial outcomes.
- Lead design decisions across the finance value chain (revenue recognition incl. deferred revenue, breakage, rewards; COGS and inventory accounting; intercompany; multi-entity consolidation; period-end close; treasury; tax; AP).
- Own the transformation roadmap and governance (SteerCo), manage stakeholders and dependencies, and drive adoption and training so change sticks.
- Engineer and automate the core finance processes (O2C, P2P, R2R, FP&A), eliminate manual effort, and drive a shorter month-end close.
- Own the data migration strategy, including chart of accounts design, master data ownership, and cutover balances.
- Drive the design of the future-state finance operating model across group entities, including roles, controls, segregation of duties, and approval workflows.
- Deliver standardized dashboards and driver-based forecasting (toward a ±5% accuracy target), with a single source of truth.
- Embed finance in the company’s key decision forums.
- Define and track the efficiency, accuracy, and cost benefits of the transformation.
- Report progress to leadership and the Audit & Risk Committee.
- Embed AI and automation opportunities into the design (close acceleration, anomaly detection, reconciliations, reporting) rather than treating them as an afterthought.
