The Head of Financial Systems will own the strategy, implementation, and continuous improvement of Scale AI's finance technology stack. You are a builder-first leader who blends enterprise architecture with AI automation - eliminating manual workflows, tightening the financial data fabric, and enabling the Finance team to move with the speed and rigor the business demands. You will be the primary technology partner to the Finance leadership team, and the person ultimately accountable for the reliability, scalability, and intelligence of every system that touches the financial close, revenue, and spend lifecycle.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
ERP Ownership & Optimization: Own the full lifecycle of our ERP environment (NetSuite or equivalent), including architecture, configuration, integrations, and roadmap. Ensure the platform reliably supports the General Ledger, AP, AR, Procure-to-Pay, Fixed Assets, Revenue Recognition, Sales Audit, and International Consolidations & Reporting.
Order-to-Cash & Procure-to-Pay: Drive end-to-end process excellence across Order-to-Cash (Sales/Revenue Capture, Sales Audit, Billing) and Procure-to-Pay (Direct & Indirect Purchasing). Identify gaps between upstream systems and ERP, and close them through disciplined integration design.
AI Agent Deployment: Identify opportunities to replace manual finance workflows with AI/LLM-powered agents. Build and manage internal agents that automate forecasting inputs, variance analysis, close task management, and reconciliation — reducing cycle time and surfacing actionable insights for Finance leadership.
Systems Integration & Data Architecture: Design scalable data flows and APIs that connect the ERP to adjacent finance tools (billing, expense, FP&A, treasury) into a cohesive, auditable ecosystem. Ensure clean, governed data movement from source systems to the general ledger and reporting layer.
Operational Excellence & Controls: Establish disciplined change management, clear data governance, and measurable SLAs across all financial systems. Stabilize environments to support audit readiness, SOX compliance, and regulatory requirements.
Finance Stakeholder Partnership: Serve as the primary technology partner to the CFO, Controller, FP&A, and Accounting teams. Translate complex technical constraints into business outcomes and align system roadmaps with Finance's strategic priorities.
Team Leadership: Build and lead a high-impact Finance Systems team. Foster a culture of curiosity, speed, and user-centricity — where the team is as proud of a clean reconciliation workflow as any external product shipped.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- 8+ years of experience leading finance systems or enterprise application functions in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
- Deep, hands-on knowledge of ERP platforms (NetSuite strongly preferred) across core modules: GL, AP, AR, Fixed Assets, Revenue Recognition, Procure-to-Pay, Sales Audit, and International Consolidations

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Head Of Finance
Match your credentials to EB-2 requirements
EB-2 requires an advanced degree or its equivalent. A CPA designation plus a bachelor's in accounting or finance can satisfy this if your employer documents the advanced-degree requirement in the PERM job description. Gather official transcripts and credential evaluation letters before applying.
Target public companies with PERM filing history
Public companies and large private firms with dedicated HR and legal teams are far more likely to have an established PERM workflow for senior finance roles. Midsize companies may sponsor but often need more lead time to initiate the process.
Search green card sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate surfaces Head of Finance roles at employers with active green card sponsorship history, so you're not cold-applying to companies that have never filed PERM. Filter by role and location to find positions where sponsorship is already part of the hiring process.
Clarify the EB classification during offer negotiations
Ask prospective employers whether the role is benchmarked at EB-2 or EB-3 before signing. EB-2 National Interest Waiver self-petition is also possible for senior finance professionals with strong credentials, allowing you to file without employer involvement.
Verify prevailing wage using the OFLC Wage Search
PERM requires your employer to pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your role and location. Use the OFLC Wage Search to confirm your offered salary meets the Level III or IV threshold typical for Head of Finance positions before your employer files.
Check your O*NET occupation profile for specialty occupation fit
Head of Finance maps to financial management occupations in O*NET. Confirm the degree field your employer lists in the PERM job order matches your credential exactly, as mismatches between listed requirements and your actual degree can trigger a PERM audit.
Green Card Head Of Finance: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Head of Finance role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Head of Finance roles typically qualify for EB-2 when the employer requires a master's degree or a bachelor's plus substantial specialized experience. EB-3 applies when the minimum requirement is a bachelor's degree. Your employer documents the requirement in the PERM labor certification filed with the DOL, so the role's written job description determines which category applies.
How does PERM green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for this role?
H-1B visa is a temporary work visa with a three-year initial period, an annual lottery cap, and no direct path to permanency on its own. PERM-based green card sponsorship is the permanent residency process: your employer certifies to the DOL that no qualified U.S. worker is available, then files an I-140 immigrant petition with USCIS. There is no annual lottery for EB-2 or EB-3 categories, though priority date backlogs affect nationals from high-demand countries.
How long does the PERM process take for a Head of Finance position?
PERM labor certification currently averages well over a year for analyst review cases at the DOL, though supervised recruitment cases move faster. After PERM approval, your employer files the I-140 with USCIS, and you file for adjustment of status once a visa number is current. Total timeline from PERM filing to green card approval commonly runs two to four years for non-backlogged nationalities.
Where can I find Head of Finance jobs where the employer already sponsors green cards?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. It aggregates Head of Finance roles at employers with documented PERM filing history, so you can target companies that have already sponsored foreign workers in finance rather than discovering a sponsorship gap after an offer. Filtering by role type and location helps you focus on realistic opportunities.
Can I switch employers after my employer files PERM but before I have a green card?
You can switch employers, but the PERM certification is tied to the sponsoring company and the specific role. If you move before the I-140 is approved, the PERM must be restarted with the new employer. If your I-140 has been approved and your priority date has been pending for 180 days or more, portability rules under AC21 allow you to transfer that priority date to a new employer in a same or similar occupational category.
