The Role

We are hiring a Finance Transformation Director to drive the modernization of the finance function. You will be the finance change agent and program owner across our biggest foundational bets: ERP implementation, process automation, a 5-day close, controllership and SOX-lite, and standardized data and dashboards.

This is a senior, cross-functional leadership role reporting to the CFO. You will act as the finance PMO and process architect, managing multiple complex workstreams.

What you'll do

ERP Program Ownership

• Own the finance side of the ERP program (with system integrators and/or ERP vendors) from BRD through design decisions, data migration, parallel run, and cutover.
• Act as Airalo’s primary counterpart to the SI and other delivery partners.
• Lead design decisions across the finance value chain (revenue recognition, COGS, inventory, intercompany, multi-entity consolidation, treasury, tax, AP).
• Own the transformation roadmap and governance (SteerCo).

Process Redesign & Controllership

• Engineer and automate core finance processes (O2C, P2P, R2R, FP&A) to eliminate manual effort and shorten month-end close.
• Own the data migration strategy, including chart of accounts design and master data ownership.
• Drive the design of the future-state finance operating model, including roles, controls, and approval workflows.

Data, Reporting & Decision-Making

• Deliver standardized dashboards and driver-based forecasting with a single source of truth.
• Embed finance in the company’s key decision forums.

Program & Change Management

• Define and track the efficiency, accuracy, and cost benefits of the transformation.
• Report progress to leadership and the Audit & Risk Committee.
• Embed AI and automation opportunities into the design.

What you'll bring

• 10+ years in finance with a track record of leading large-scale finance transformation.
• Experience leading an end-to-end ERP implementation (SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics).
• Deep process re-engineering and automation experience across O2C, P2P, R2R, and FP&A.
• Strong controllership and controls background (SOX / SOX-lite, ITGC, audit readiness).
• Qualified accountant (CPA, ACA, ACCA, CIMA) and/or Big 4 / consulting transformation background.
• Ability to influence and build credibility with senior stakeholders.

Preferred Experience

• Exposure to telecom, MVNO, SaaS, or usage-based revenue models.
• Experience embedding AI/automation into finance processes.
• Familiarity with modern data/BI tooling (e.g., dbt, BigQuery).
• Multi-entity, multi-currency, and M&A integration experience.
