Remote FinOps Process and Integration Team Lead

🧑🏻‍💻 About the role

First things first: you want to know what you’re actually applying for. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distil it down to a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:

As a FinOps Process and Integration Team Lead, you'll report to the Finance Operation Manager and you will take on a crucial role in shaping and enhancing our financial processes, with a significant focus on mergers and acquisitions integrations. Your expertise as a domain specialist involves interpreting intricate business requirements, transforming them into comprehensive process blueprints.

By collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, you'll drive process improvements, ensure compliance, and align financial operations with organizational objectives, demonstrating efficiency gains and tangible outcomes. As a team leader, you will guide and manage team members inherited from acquisitions, foster a collaborative environment, and ensure their successful integration into our financial operations.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and is keen to make a significant impact through innovative financial management.

✅ Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

• Lead the design and implementation of scalable and efficient end-to-end financial processes.
• Collaborate with engineering, product, and other teams to develop actionable process blueprints.
• Continuously analyze, improve, and document workflows to enhance operational effectiveness.
• Implement and uphold data governance standards to ensure data quality and integrity.
• Analyze financial data to support strategic decision-making and planning.
• Streamline and harmonize financial processes and systems, especially post-acquisition.
• Manage a team, including integrating members from acquired companies, while fostering innovation and managing change.
• Partner with stakeholders to align financial processes with organizational strategies and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
• Communicate effectively to gather requirements, implement best practices, and train staff on new processes and technologies.
• Establish, track, and report on metrics and KPIs to monitor process performance and mitigate potential risks.

🤝️ You’ll be a great fit if you bring a few of the below with you:

• Extensive experience in finance operations, with a strong emphasis on process improvement.
• Deep expertise in the technical aspects of billing systems, demonstrating a thorough understanding of their functionalities and integration points.
• Proven people management abilities, ideally in scenarios that involve integrating diverse groups.
• Proficiency in financial systems and tools, including ERP software (e.g., Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics) and data management tools.
• Strong analytical skills are necessary to evaluate complex situations and devise effective solutions.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential for effective collaboration with diverse teams.
• Experience with M&A processes or integrations is beneficial.
