What are the responsibilities and job description for the VP of Transformation, AI & Business Intelligence position at SystemsAccountants?
We’re partnered with a fast-growing, capital-backed financial services firm operating at the intersection of finance, operations, and technology. The organization works with large, complex enterprises and has quietly built a strong foundation over the past few years. They are now entering a new phase focused on scaling their internal systems, data capabilities, and automation initiatives.
This is a high-impact, greenfield opportunity to step into a senior, cross-functional role where you will shape how finance, operations, and technology come together to drive real revenue outcomes. With core systems like NetSuite and Snowflake now stabilized, the organization is ready to aggressively scale its use of business intelligence, automation, and AI. This role will be at the center of that transformation.

This individual will act as a strategic partner to the business by owning discovery, solution design, and execution of key initiatives across NetSuite, BI, and AI-enabled workflows.
This is a front-office impact role disguised as a technical position—your work will directly support and scale client-facing financial operations, ultimately driving top-line revenue.
You’ll report directly to the Head of Technology and collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders across Finance, Operations, and Data.
