This is a senior role accountable for both Change (strategy, architecture, modernization, transformation delivery) and Run (reliability, controls, service excellence) of mission‑critical finance capabilities that underpin accounting close, planning / forecasting, profitability and strategic analysis, regulatory reporting, and data‑driven decision‑making across the enterprise.

    Lead the Platform (Strategy, Architecture, Governance)

  • Set the vision and roadmap : for Finance Technology (ERP / GL, sub‑ledgers, FP&A / EPM, reconciliations, consolidations, management reporting), grounded in asset‑management finance needs (multi‑GAAP / IFRS, multi‑entity, multi‑currency, fee accruals, product P&L, allocations).
  • Establish architecture principles : e.g., domain‑driven design, API‑first, event‑driven, data‑by‑design, zero‑trust with a vendor‑agnostic stance; evaluate SAP, Oracle, and leading FP&A / EPM platforms on fit‑for‑purpose, TCO, and time‑to‑value rather than brand preference.
  • Own platform governance : standards, reference architectures, non‑functional requirements (availability, performance, resiliency), and technical debt management.
  • Change the Platform (Transformational Delivery)

  • Modernize ERP / GL and FP&A / EPM : e.g., S / 4HANA or Oracle Fusion roadmaps; planning / forecasting tooling; scenario modeling; driver‑based plans; close acceleration.
  • Lead data & analytics for Finance : own the finance data model (Chart of Accounts, legal entity hierarchy, cost centers), semantic layers, and self‑service analytics for CFO, FP&A, and Business Unit finance partners.
  • Embed AI / ML / RPA thoughtfully : journal anomaly detection, automated reconciliations, close‑task copilots, forecast augmentation, narrative generation—balancing innovation with control, auditability, and data privacy.
  • Deliver with agility : product operating model, one‑week sprints when feasible, small stories, iterative releases, and measurable business outcomes.
  • Run the Platform (Reliability, Controls, Service Excellence)

  • SRE‑led operations : across ERP, FP&A, integrations, data pipelines—incident / problem / change management, observability (SLIs / SLOs), capacity planning, DR / BCP, access controls, and performance tuning.
  • Financial controls and compliance : Internal controls over financial reporting, segregation of duties, audit readiness, data retention, regulatory reporting integrity, and change control rigor.
  • Vendor & commercial management : RFPs, SOWs, SLAs, and performance scorecards for SaaS and managed services partners.
  • Business Partnership & Influence

  • Trusted advisor to Finance : shape demand, clarify current state vs. target state, articulate principles, goals, anti‑goals, and milestones; present budget implications and value propositions to secure executive sponsorship.
  • Point of escalation : for mission‑critical issues; communicate not just status, but direction and platform‑wide impact to senior stakeholders.
  • Qualifications

    Essential

  • Deep Finance Technology expertise : in asset management or capital markets finance—ERP Accounting / GL, sub‑ledgers (AP / AR / Fixed Assets), consolidations, management & statutory reporting, and FP&A (planning, forecasting, scenario and profitability analysis).
  • Former software engineer or architect : with hands‑on experience in modern implementation and integration practices (APIs, microservices, streaming, event‑driven workflows, CI / CD, infrastructure as code).
  • Vendor‑agnostic mindset : with a track record evaluating and integrating solutions across SAP / Oracle and leading FP&A / EPM platforms (e.g., Anaplan, OneStream, Workday Adaptive), selecting based on outcomes, not brand.
  • Data & analytics leadership : finance data modeling (COA, entities, hierarchies), semantic layers, BI platforms, and governing data quality at scale.
  • AI / Automation literacy : in finance contexts—genAI, ML, and RPA use cases; feasibility assessment; model governance (explainability, bias, privacy); and safe deployment.
  • Proven global leadership : of internal teams and managed service partners (offshore / nearshore), including budgeting, capacity planning, and multi‑timezone delivery.
  • Executive communication and stakeholder management : ability to engage CFO, Controller, FP&A head; set expectations; and serve as final escalation point.
  • Agile & ITSM fluency : product operating model, backlog management, metrics / KPIs; ITIL‑aligned operations using platforms like ServiceNow.
  • Nice to Have

  • Experience modernizing SAP S / 4HANA or Oracle Fusion Cloud : finance landscapes; migrating from on‑prem EPM to cloud FP&A.
  • Familiarity with investment / portfolio data : (IBOR / ABOR), performance & attribution, and fees—bridging finance with front‑office data.
  • Relevant certifications : SAFe / Agile leadership, cloud (AWS / Azure / GCP), ITIL, or finance systems (SAP, Oracle, OneStream, Anaplan).
  • Education : Bachelor's / master's in computer science, engineering, information systems, or equivalent experience.
  • PIMCO follows a total compensation approach when rewarding employees which includes a base salary and a discretionary bonus. Base salary is the fixed component of compensation that is determined by core job responsibilities, relevant experience, internal level, and market factors. The discretionary bonus is used to award performance and therefore is determined by company, business, team, and individual performance.
