About the role

We are seeking a strategic leader who pairs deep systems expertise with strong process design instincts to build and own Flex's Financial Systems & Transformation function from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to define a new pillar within the Finance organization at a fast-scaling fintech — one where the scope extends well beyond traditional ERP administration into agentic AI infrastructure, process automation, and the controls architecture that will underpin Flex’s next phase of growth. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience in financial systems, accounting technology, or a closely related field — with meaningful time spent in a high-growth or scaling environment
  • Deep ERP expertise — ideally including implementation experience (go-live, integration design, configuration, and post-live optimization) with platforms such as NetSuite, Campfire, Sage Intacct, or equivalent
  • Demonstrated experience building or owning IT General Controls and access control frameworks — SOD enforcement, user provisioning, change management, and audit-trail documentation
  • Strong grasp of financial master data design and governance — chart of accounts structure, dimension/segment design, and the data architecture decisions that determine downstream reporting flexibility
  • Demonstrated ability to design or re-engineer core accounting processes (close, AP, payroll, or similar) around best practices — not just automate existing process but rethink it
  • Experience working directly with external auditors (Big 4 preferred) on IT controls testing and audit evidence standards

By offering greater choice over how and when payments are made and allowing eligible on time payments to help build a positive credit history, Flex puts households back in control of their cash flow.

That work brings together people with different perspectives who challenge the status quo and take ownership of solving difficult problems. For you, that means doing the best work of your career next to people who make you better, and together bringing ideas to life that make a real impact for the people we serve.
