Baseten is a rapidly growing AI infrastructure company that powers mission-critical inference for leading AI companies like Cursor, Notion, and Abridge. Recently raised $1.5B in Series F funding, the company is scaling its finance operations and seeking a Finance Systems Lead to own the systems that support financial operations.
In this role, you will be the dedicated owner of Baseten's finance systems stack, including ERP, financial planning tools, HRIS/payroll, CPQ, and commissions systems. You will lead implementations, manage integrations, and identify automation opportunities that streamline finance workflows and reduce manual work.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning finance systems strategy, configuration, and roadmap, partnering with contractors and vendor CSMs on technical configuration
- Leading implementation and ongoing administration of finance systems and tools
- Managing end-to-end finance system integrations to ensure clean data flow between ERP, planning, billing, and other systems
- Partnering with People, Sales, Revenue Operations, Legal, and IT to design integrations and workflows that serve cross-functional needs
- Identifying and building automation across manual finance workflows, from reconciliation to reporting
- Evaluating new tools and building business cases for investment as the company scales
- Managing system access, permissions, and controls in partnership with Accounting and IT
- Supporting audit requests related to systems and automated controls
You will need 7+ years of experience in finance systems, business systems, or systems administration, with demonstrated experience implementing financial planning tools and integrating systems across finance and adjacent functions. Strong technical aptitude is essential—you should be comfortable building automation, directing contractors on configuration work, and operating as a systems generalist across a broad stack. Excellent cross-functional partnership skills are critical, as you'll work closely with multiple teams to design systems that serve their needs.
Nice-to-have qualifications include experience with CPQ and commission systems, HRIS/payroll systems, high-growth venture-backed tech companies, AI tools or low-code/no-code platforms, and SOX controls in revenue cycle contexts.
The role is based in San Francisco with a requirement to work in-person 3+ days per week. Baseten offers competitive compensation with meaningful equity, comprehensive health insurance, flexible PTO with company-wide winter break, paid parental leave, fertility and family-building support, and 401(k) matching.
