Finance Operations Team Lead
About The Position
PayBright is seeking a Finance Operations Team Lead to play a critical, hands-on role in executing and organizing day-to-day finance operations work across billing, reconciliations, reporting, and financial analysis. You will be the most senior active individual contributor on the Finance team and will lead by example through volume, reliability, and attention to detail. This role is execution-focused and designed for someone who thrives on owning defined work, meeting deadlines, and producing accurate outputs in a fast-moving environment. This is not a systems architecture or strategy role today. Instead, the position exists to stabilize and strengthen execution across finance operations, reduce operational noise, and free leadership to focus on system design and long-term improvements. You will partner closely with Operations leadership on process improvement and special projects, and the right person will have a clear opportunity to grow into broader ownership and greater responsibility over time.

- Validate data accuracy and identify inconsistencies, gaps, or missing inputs
- Identify inefficiencies or recurring issues within existing finance operations workflows
- Partner with Operations leadership to improve processes once direction is defined
