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 H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Head Of Finance
Align your credentials to the LCA
Your degree field must directly match the Head of Finance role description. If your background is in economics or business administration rather than finance, get a credential evaluation completed before the LCA is filed to preempt any specialty occupation challenge.
Target companies with finance LCA history
Use Migrate Mate to filter employers by verified DOL Labor Condition Application filings for senior finance titles. This confirms sponsorship intent before you invest time in their process, not after an offer is extended.
Verify the prevailing wage tier before negotiating
Run the Head of Finance SOC code through the OFLC Wage Search to see which wage level the employer must certify. Accepting an offer below Level III or IV for a senior role can flag the LCA filing and trigger a DOL audit.
Ask if the employer is cap-exempt or cap-subject
Nonprofits, universities, and certain research institutions file H-1B petitions outside the annual lottery. For a Head of Finance role, cap-exempt employers mean no April 1 filing deadline and no selection risk, which changes your job search timeline significantly.
Confirm premium processing before accepting the offer
USCIS premium processing upgrades standard adjudication to 15 business days. For a Head of Finance hire, most employers approve the upgrade given the seniority, but get written confirmation in the offer letter before resigning from your current position.
Factor in the 60-day grace period when changing employers
If you're moving from a current H-1B employer, your status remains valid for 60 days after your last day of employment. The new employer must file a transfer petition and receive a receipt notice before that window closes or you accrue unlawful presence.
H-1B Visa Head Of Finance: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Head of Finance role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as finance, accounting, or economics, and the employer's job description reflects that requirement. Generalist management roles where any degree is accepted can fail the specialty occupation test, so the job description language matters. USCIS evaluates the role itself, not just the title.
Which employers typically sponsor H-1B visas for Head of Finance positions?
Large publicly traded corporations, private equity portfolio companies, multinational subsidiaries, and growth-stage technology firms are the most active sponsors for senior finance leadership roles. You can browse companies with verified H-1B filing history for finance titles on Migrate Mate, which surfaces DOL Labor Condition Application data so you can confirm sponsorship activity before applying.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer if I accept a Head of Finance offer?
Yes. H-1B portability lets you start working for the new employer as soon as they file a transfer petition and you receive the receipt notice from USCIS, without waiting for full approval. You don't need to return to your home country. Your prior H-1B time counts toward the six-year cap, so factor in how much time remains when evaluating the offer.
How does the H-1B prevailing wage requirement affect Head of Finance hiring?
The DOL requires employers to pay at least the prevailing wage for the role's SOC code and geographic location, typically Level III or Level IV for a Head of Finance given the supervisory scope. Employers certify this on the LCA before filing with USCIS. You can verify the applicable wage tier independently using the OFLC Wage Search before negotiations begin.
What happens to my H-1B status if the Head of Finance role is eliminated after I'm sponsored?
You have a 60-day grace period from your last day of employment to find a new sponsoring employer, file a change of status, or depart the U.S. If a new employer files a transfer petition within that window and you receive a receipt notice, you can begin working immediately. USCIS does not extend the 60-day period, so starting your search before the termination date is critical.
