This role is based in our Chicago, IL, Menlo Park, CA, New York, NY office(s), with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week.

• Demonstrated experience leading system implementations, process improvement initiatives, and automation programs.
• Working knowledge of non-USD and manual payment processing, Sales & Use Tax, VAT/GST, and Form 1099 requirements.
• Proficiency with P2P, ERP, and corporate spend management tools — direct experience with Coupa, Oracle, Brex, Ramp, Navan, or Workday strongly preferred; ability to apply best practices from comparable systems (e.g., SAP, Concur) also valued.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with a collaborative and flexible working style.
• A consistent record of role stability and tenure in prior positions.

• Uphold internal controls and approval protocols consistently, including in situations where deviation is requested by senior stakeholders, to safeguard against fraud risk.
