Director, Financial Systems & Transformation

The posting, as Flex wrote it

Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is building the payment layer for life's financial obligations, giving households one place to see, split, and pay their bills around how they live and get paid. 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.

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.

As Director, Financial Systems & Transformation, you will own the internal financial systems that power Flex’s accounting and financial reporting function — including our core ERP, procure-to-pay (P2P), T&E systems, and additional financial reporting tooling as the function matures. You will also design, build, and maintain the AI-powered workflows that are central to Flex’s vision for a modern, scalable Finance function, and you will lead the build-out of ITGC and financial systems controls that keep pace with the business as it scales.

This role sits at the intersection of finance, systems, and AI — and requires a leader who can operate with fluency across all three. You will partner closely with the VP Controller, the broader Finance leadership team, and Flex’s Engineering and AI Central teams to make the vision real. This position will be based in our New York headquarters on a hybrid basis and will report to the VP Controller.

What You'll Do

Financial Systems Ownership & Administration

• Own our ERP (Campfire) as Flex’s financial system of record — including configuration, close module setup, chart of accounts and dimension/segment governance, and ongoing system health
• Own our procure-to-pay (P2P) systems for AP and T&E — evaluating near-term enhancements and long-term tooling strategy as we scale
• Manage integrations between core financial systems and the upstream/downstream data sources that feed them — including the payroll (Rippling) integration in partnership with the People/HRIS systems team — ensuring accurate, timely, and auditable data flows across the Finance stack
• Serve as the internal product owner for financial systems enhancements — translating Finance team requirements in

[…]
a plus, not a requirement

• Formal project management experience or training — this role requires running complex, cross-functional projects to completion, not just providing technical and functional expertise
• Experience leading close process optimization or standardization initiatives, ideally reducing close timelines or manual touch-points
• Familiarity with payroll and AP operational best practices — vendor management, payment controls, exception handling — beyond the systems that support them
