About the Role
Perk is a scaling B2B travel booking and expense management platform with global operations. Our Finance team relies on an intricate tech stack, and we seek a hands-on, strategic Senior Manager, Finance Systems to own this ecosystem.

- Oversee integration landscape with upstream/downstream systems.
- Drive finance process optimisation (AR/AP, GL, close processes).
- Lead system remediation initiatives (e.g., unapplied cash cleanup, open document resolution).
Finance Systems Ecosystem
- Optimise and evaluate the broader finance technology stack, including AI tools.
- Define and execute the systems roadmap—assess new tools, negotiate with vendors, and retire legacy processes.
- Lead system integration projects end-to-end in partnership with Engineering.

Controls, Compliance & Audit
- Own IT general controls for finance systems under the SOX program.
- Manage user access reviews, segregation of duties, and provisioning workflows.

- Lead system implementations and upgrades, from scoping to go-live.
- Identify and execute automation opportunities to streamline close-cycle processes.
- Develop and maintain systems documentation (data dictionaries, runbooks, process flows).
- Partner with Accounting and FP&A to translate business needs into scalable system solutions.
Qualifications
Essential
- 7+ years of finance systems experience, including ≥4 years as a NetSuite administrator or functional lead.
- Hands-on expertise in NetSuite: workflows, custom records, SuiteScript, saved searches, and reporting.
- Track record of owning cross-system integration projects from requirements to delivery.
- Deep understanding of accounting functions (close cycle, AR/AP, consolidation) and auditor interactions.

- Exposure to multi-entity, multi-currency environments.
- Familiarity with SaaS, B2B travel/expense technologies.

Ideal Candidate
This isn’t a ticket-taking role. You’ll:
- Bring strategic perspective, push back on vague requirements, and proactively identify challenges.
- Be equally at home in configuration screens and CFO meetings, understanding the connection between them.
- Be the right fit if:
- You’re energised by fixing broken processes, not just maintaining working ones.
- You communicate technical details simply and clearly.
- You’re a strong owner: fix issues before they surface as audit findings.
- You thrive with ambiguity, prioritise independently, and build roadmaps iteratively.
