Job Description

Role Summary

A strategic accounting transformation leader who combines deep accounting operations expertise with process redesign and automation capabilities to identify high-value AI opportunities, build and prioritize the automation portfolio, establish robust control frameworks, and deliver measurable business impact across the Accounting organization

Responsibilities

What You Will Do

Build and maintain the AI/Automation use cases across the Accounting Organization: volumes, cycle times, touch counts, exception rates, and current controls.

Convert the use cases into a ranked pipeline with a defensible value case per use case, using the Sophos AI ROI Success Metrics framework (Business Value Created, Productivity Capacity Gained, Cycle Time Improvement, with attribution percentage and Cost of Delivery).

Work with business SMEs to redesign current processes and control specifications precise enough for a Power Platform builder or citizen developer to work from without guessing.

Design the exception path: Define what the automation cannot handle, who reviews it, and what evidence the review leaves behind.

Take control design through review with the Controller and Internal Audit, and hold the production go / no-go conversation.

Run user acceptance testing with business SMEs and own the hyper care period after go-live.

Report delivered monthly value into the existing CFO Council and Senior Management Leadership reporting cadence.

What You Will Bring

Must Have:

Five or more years inside an accounting function (AR, AP, Credit, Revenue, General Accounting, or close)

Two or more years of experience in building AI Automation using Microsoft Power Platform (Power Automate, Copilot Studio, AI Builder, Power BI); has personally delivered automations into production in a controlled environment and can describe the control design and the exception handling.

Has worked with internal or external auditors on a process or control of change and can explain how the change was evidenced.

Can decompose a process into steps, decisions, and exceptions with enough precision that a builder does not have to interpret.

Works across functions without formal authority and can hold a position when a process owner's priorities conflict with the roadmap.

Preferred:

Experience in SAP, Zuora, or comparable ERP and billing applications.

Revenue recognition exposure under ASC 606, or month-end close ownership.
