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.

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

Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense. After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing. Will you be a part of the team?
