Finance Operations & Systems Lead (AI-Native)

causaLens builds AI-powered Digital Workers that automate high-stakes enterprise workflows. We want Finance and Revenue Operations to work the same way: AI-native, systemised, and lean. This role pairs with the CFO to run the full finance and GTM operations function, supported by automated workflows and specialist external advisors, with no plans to grow the internal team headcount beyond the two of you.

You will own the day-to-day operating cadence and lead our systems roadmap. Your first task is to evaluate and finalise our ERP selection from a shortlist of AI-native platforms, leading technical due diligence and vendor validation before committing. You then own the migration and everything that follows.

What you’ll do

Months 1–4: Systems foundation

• Lead ERP selection and migration: Own technical due diligence and vendor validation, data mapping, integrations, and go-live from NetSuite to our new AI-native ERP.

• Automate the close engine: Engineer >80% of routine journal entries and reconciliations to run automatically; target ≤5 business days to close.

• Automate AP, treasury, and equity operations: Configure native ERP expense and AP modules for touchless invoice processing and payment runs. Automate treasury operations including cash position reporting, bank feed reconciliation, and FX tracking. Integrate Carta for automated equity expense accounting (IFRS 2) and cap table reporting. Evaluate and optimise US payroll infrastructure (currently via PEO) for cost and operational fit.

   

Months 4–12: Revenue, GTM & Operations

• Own quote-to-cash: Connect HubSpot deals through contract execution, ERP invoicing, and automated collections. Maintain ARR/MRR as a live, reconciled number across systems.

• Build the FP&A data layer: Connect the ERP to a planning tool with clean dimensional structure so actuals feed automatically into board reporting cycles—no manual data prep.

• Be “Customer Zero”: Partner with Engineering to deploy at least two causaLens Digital Workers into live finance workflows (e.g., commission calculation, variance narrative generation, cash flow forecasting).

• 3–6 years in Finance Systems, RevOps, or Technical Finance Operations: systems architects and operators, not ledger accountants.

• ERP implementation experience: you have migrated a company from a legacy system and owned the technical execution.

• CRM-to-ERP integration: you have connected HubSpot (or equivalent) to an ERP billing module and understand what clean quote-to-cash data architecture looks like.

• Workflow automation mindset: Zapier/Make/n8n-style thinking; you automate first and hire second.

• AI-native working style: you actively use AI tools to accelerate reconciliations, clean data, and turn SOPs into repeatable workflows.

Nice to have: basic SQL/Python; HRIS/payroll integration experience; SaaS revenue recognition (IFRS 15 / ASC 606); equity accounting (IFRS 2).

What success looks like at 12 months

• ERP live: zero data loss, all CRM, HRIS, and equity integrations running automatically; AP and treasury workflows touchless.

• Close engine: >80% of journals automated, books closed in ≤5 days.

• Treasury & equity automated: daily cash position live, Carta integrated with automated equity expense journals, US payroll optimised.

• Quote-to-cash: deal close to invoice with no manual handoffs; ARR a live number.

• FP&A data layer: actuals feed automatically into planning tool, board-ready without prep.

• Digital Workers: two internal agents in live production.

• Scalable stack: Finance + RevOps runs at $30m+ ARR with CFO + you.
