Finance Systems Manager

SUMMARY

The Business Systems Team is central to Wiz's operational excellence and growth, ensuring the reliability and evolution of key business systems that support critical functions across the organization. Composed of technical administrators, developers, and analysts, the team focuses on maintaining and optimizing these business systems to drive efficiency and effectiveness. Combining strategic oversight with tactical execution, the Business Systems Team directly contributes to the success of Wiz's core business objectives as the company scales.

As the Finance Systems Manager (IC), you'll lead the strategic development, optimization, and ongoing support of financial planning and analysis (FP&A) systems, with a particular focus on Pigment. While FP&A will be your main stakeholder, you'll also support other finance initiatives and teams, extending your impact across the entire Finance organization. This role is both strategic and tactical, demanding a blend of high-level vision and hands-on execution. You'll need a highly driven and proactive approach, consistently taking initiative to identify opportunities for system enhancement and process improvement within the finance domain.

You'll translate complex business requirements into robust, scalable, and data-driven system solutions. Your deep proficiency in data management, data modeling, and common query languages like SQL will be crucial for ensuring data integrity, enhancing analytical capabilities, and driving automation for critical financial processes. You'll need exceptional detail-orientation to ensure accuracy and precision in data models, system configurations, and financial reporting. A strong sense of autonomy will be vital, allowing you to own projects and workstreams from end-to-end with minimal supervision, while effectively collaborating with stakeholders and building strong relationships across Finance and other cross-functional teams.
