- Drive ambiguous, high-impact initiatives by creating technical clarity and alignment across engineering, product, design, and Finance stakeholders
- Partner directly with Finance and Accounting users to translate operational pain points into clear product and technical roadmaps
- Mentor engineers and raise the team's technical bar

- Demonstrated track record leading ambiguous, cross-functional projects from problem definition through design, implementation, rollout, and iteration
- Deep frontend architecture expertise including state management, API integration, performance optimization, accessibility, testing, and observability
- Experience building data-rich operational products, enterprise software, or workflow systems where accuracy and user trust are essential (financial systems, reconciliation, or payments domain experience preferred)

- Ability to utilize generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality
