About The Position

Are you excited about the prospect of unlocking the secrets held by financial transaction details? Are you fascinated by the prospect of harnessing the power of technology to facilitate Department of Defense (DoD) audit readiness? The DoD's massive volume of interconnected structured and unstructured financial datasets open up tremendous opportunities to improve audit response across the enterprise. As a Financial Management Product Lead, you will transform and consolidate these disparate datasets, building databases, metrics, dashboards, and applications to support audit preparation and management decision-making. We have an opportunity for you to use your analytical skills to improve accountability in the defense industry. You'll work closely with your customers to understand their challenges and requirements, digging into their data-rich environments to identify the key pieces of their financial reporting puzzles. You'll lead stakeholder interviews and fact-finding efforts, develop business rules for customer data sets, build reconciliations to support completeness validations, generate responses to auditor requests, and standardize the DoD's approach to audit response. You'll provide your customers with structured solutions for responding to DoD, independent public accountant, and internal audit inquiries. You'll utilize strong technical and analytical skills to normalize finance and accounting data from multiple sources to support DoD audit readiness and delivery. Using expertise in financial management, internal controls, audit readiness, and project management, you'll develop and implement solutions for the DoD's complex financial reporting and audit challenges. Leverage your understanding of common data model design, data acquisition and ingestion, and the application development lifecycle to bridge gaps between technologists and defense financial managers, ensuring software solutions meet audit priorities.
