Senior TPM - Enterprise Systems

Fin • San Francisco, CA

13d • Hybrid

About The Position

Fin's Finance Integrations, Finance and People systems are the backbone of how the company runs, pays, hires and reports. As a Senior Technical Program Manager for Enterprise Systems you'll drive the programs that build and evolve those efforts, from implementation through to integration, adoption and governance. You'll work across Finance, People, Legal, and Engineering to turn ambiguous business problems into sequenced, funded and delivered programs. This is a program management role first. You'll need the technical depth to hold your own with architects and engineers, being measured on whether complex, multi-team programs land on time and to the bar.

Requirements

• 6+ years managing technical programs and projects end-to-end , with a track record of enterprise system implementations you personally led from initiation through go-live and stabilisation.
• Proven command of program management fundamentals: planning, sequencing, resourcing, dependency management, risk and issue management and status reporting to peers up to senior leaders that they can trust.
• Track record delivering multiple concurrent workstreams without losing control of scope, timeline, or quality.
• Strong stakeholder management. You set expectations early, hold teams to commitments and make them accountable without formal authority and be clear when issues arise
• Direct experience with Finance and People systems , specifically NetSuite and Workday and a working understanding of the processes they support: procure-to-pay, record-to-report, hire-to-retire, and billing within the quote-to-cash flow.
• Practical understanding of business close cycles. You know what month end and quarter end demand of a Finance team and you plan delivery around them rather than through them.
• A Broad understanding of Enterprise Systems : system architecture, integrations, data flows and the SaaS application landscape supporting Finance, People and Legal teams.
• Ability to take an ambiguous or contested problem, get to the real requirement, and turn it into a concrete plan, driving that work with named owners and dates.
• Excellent written requirements and functional specs. Engineers build the right thing from your documentation and stakeholders recognise it at UAT.
• Proof of eligibility to work in the United States is required.

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on NetSuite or Workday experience (administration and/or configuration).
• Experience with Zip, Stripe, Snowflake, Salesforce, or comparable enterprise platforms.
• Supporting or delivering through a monthly close, or working alongside FP&A and Accounting operations.
• Experience delivering programs in an audited environment, where controls, evidence and sign-off are part of the delivery path.
• Grounded in a recognised delivery methodologies with the judgment to know how a program should operate
• Experience running programs in a fast-moving, AI-first environment where requirements shift mid-flight.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of Fin's most complex Enterprise Systems programs. Multi-quarter, multi-workstream, spanning several teams. You are accountable for the outcome, not just the plan.
• Partner deeply with Finance, Billing and People teams to turn their problems into solutions. Get close enough to how they actually work that you can challenge the stated requirement and find the better answer underneath it.
• Shape initiatives before they become projects. Work with group and functional leadership to pressure-test the problem, define scope and success measures, and say no to work that doesn't earn its place.
• Manage stakeholders and expectations directly. Set a clear bar for what will land and when, communicate change early and often while also building trust that lets you influence decisions without authority.
• Plan around the business, not just the roadmap. Fin's Finance and People functions run on cycles: month end, quarter end, year end, payroll, performance and planning. You'll sequence delivery, testing and cutover around those cycles and protect the teams through them.
• Own the roadmap and the communication around it. Drive visibility, sequencing and build a shared understanding across other IT group teams and up to Senior Stakeholders.
• Run implementations with rigour. Requirements, functional specs, build oversight, UAT, cutover and hypercare.
• Manage risk actively. Surface issues, dependencies and delays early. Bring mitigation options and escalate with a recommendation, not just a problem.
• Lead the change, not just the system. Plan and deliver the enablement, comms, and training that make adoption real after go-live.
• Raise the bar on how we deliver. Improve planning, governance, and ways of working across the Enterprise Systems team.
