ABOUT THE ROLE
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
- Strong understanding of Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay process design, including the touchpoints between upstream sales/procurement systems and the ERP
- Strong understanding of Sox IT General controls and track record implementing them
- Proven track record designing and deploying AI/LLM-powered workflows or agentic systems to improve Finance team efficiency
- Ability to design and govern scalable integrations and data flows across SaaS tools
- Experience influencing Finance leadership, translating technical complexity into clear business decisions
- Proficiency is an iPaaS platform (e.g., Workato, Mulesoft, Boomi, etc.) - Workato Certification is big plus
- Proficiency in Python or SQL to personally prototype, audit, and quality-check automation logic
- Familiarity with adjacent Finance tooling: expense management, FP&A platforms, billing systems, and treasury tools

Tips for Your Head Of Finance Job Search
Quantify your financial leadership impact
Head of finance roles demand proof of scale. Replace vague statements with specific outcomes: budget size managed, cost reductions delivered, or revenue growth you influenced. Hiring committees at this level expect numbers attached to every major initiative you led.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists head of finance openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Tailor your resume to ownership signals
Finance executives want to see that you own outcomes, not just report them. Use language that shows decision-making authority: 'restructured,' 'owned,' 'built from scratch.' Avoid passive phrases like 'assisted with' or 'supported,' which read as too junior for head-level roles.
Filter openings by stage and backing
A head of finance role at a Series B startup and one at a public company require very different skill sets. When searching, prioritize listings that name the company's stage, investor backing, or revenue range so you target roles where your experience fits the complexity.
Prepare a 90-day finance plan for interviews
Many head of finance interview processes include a case study or take-home. Coming in with a clear 30-60-90 day framework covering cash flow visibility, team assessment, and reporting structure shows operational readiness that other candidates skip.
Negotiate with total comp context in mind
Head of finance offers often include equity, bonus, and deferred compensation alongside base. Before negotiating, map out each component separately and know which elements have flexibility. Bundling everything into a single ask weakens your position at this seniority level.
Head Of Finance Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most head of finances?
The companies hiring the most head of finances right now include Citi, Fidelity Investments, and Granica, with the largest share of openings in New York, California, and Massachusetts, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Demand is highest in sectors with complex capital structures, including private equity-backed firms, healthtech, and growth-stage technology companies.
How many head of finance jobs are remote?
About 41% of head of finance openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting increased flexibility at the senior leadership level. FP&A-focused and early-stage startup roles tend to offer the most remote options, while roles with board reporting responsibilities or on-site team oversight are more likely to require in-person presence.
How do you become a head of finance?
Most head of finance professionals build their path through progressive roles in FP&A, corporate finance, or accounting, eventually managing teams and owning cross-functional budgets. Earning a CPA, CFA, or MBA accelerates advancement. The critical step is taking on P&L responsibility or leading a finance function end-to-end before applying at the head level.
Can you get hired as a head of finance without senior leadership experience?
It depends on the company size and stage. At early-stage startups or small businesses, candidates who have managed a full finance function independently, even at a smaller scale, are competitive without a formal head title. Demonstrating ownership of budgeting, reporting, and strategic planning matters more than the seniority label on a previous role.
What does the head of finance interview process look like?
The process typically runs three to five rounds. It starts with a recruiter screen, followed by a hiring manager interview focused on your financial leadership experience. Later rounds usually include a technical case study or financial model review, a presentation to executives or board members, and a final culture or panel conversation with cross-functional stakeholders.
Where can I find and apply to head of finance jobs?
You can find and apply to head of finance jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from companies across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience and apply directly to each one that fits.
