Description
Engineering Manager, Financial & SCM Systems
AI-First · Financial Systems Engineering · People Manager
AI-First Role: This role is expected to actively use, champion, and govern AI tools across the team. AI fluency is a core competency — not a future initiative.
About the Role
We are looking for an AI-first Engineering Manager to own and evolve our Financial Systems capability. This role spans our full financial and operational technology stack — ERP, order management platforms, procurement, payment systems, and the integrations that connect them. You will lead a team of SDEs, Technical and Business Systems Analysts, drive AI-led productivity and transformation, and serve as the strategic bridge between Finance, Supply Chain, Operations, and Engineering.
This is not a role for someone who thinks of AI as a future initiative. You will use AI tools daily, expect your team to do the same, and actively measure the impact on delivery speed, quality, and cost.

• Ensure financial and operational controls, audit readiness (SOX), and data integrity across all owned systems

• Drive functional stability and incident resolution, including structured root cause analysis for recurring issues

Team Leadership & Development
• Lead and develop a team of SDEs, Technical and Business Systems Analysts across technical and functional disciplines
• Set a high bar for AI tool adoption — ChatGPT/Claude, GitHub Copilot, Oracle AI — and coach team members on weaving thes
