Director of Finance Systems - Rula

About Rula

We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. We recognize that mental health issues can be complex and multifaceted, and we are dedicated to treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.

We aim to create a world where mental health is no longer stigmatized or marginalized, but rather is embraced as an integral part of one's overall well-being. By providing quality care that is both evidence-based and compassionate, we empower individuals to take charge of their mental health and achieve their full potential.

Rula is a remote-first company. We currently hire in most U.S. states, with the exception of Hawaii.

About the Role

We are seeking a Director of Finance Systems to own the technology behind Rula's accounting and financial reporting, and to help our Accounting team move toward a faster, more automated close. This is a chance to shape how a fast-growing mental health company runs its finances, with a scope that goes well beyond ERP administration and into AI, automation, and the controls that let us scale with confidence.

You will oversee our core finance systems, including NetSuite, Ramp, Zip, FloQast, and revenue reporting tools. You will be the project manager for new system launches and updates, and partner with Engineering to ensure Finance's needs are integrated from the start. You will also set our approach to AI—determining how our Accounting team builds agents, where they run, how they connect to NetSuite, and what safeguards keep them accurate and audit-ready—while leading the build-out of ITGC and financial systems controls.

This role sits at the intersection of finance, systems, and AI, working closely with Accounting, FP&A, Financial Operations, Procurement, Product, Engineering, and Analytics. You will report directly to the Controller.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in finance systems, accounting systems, or ERP administration, including hands-on ownership of NetSuite in a growing company.
• Experience leading at least one finance system implementation or post-go-live stabilization from requirements through testing, cutover, and support.
• Hands-on experience designing, implementing, or maintaining IT general controls (ITGC: user access, change management, system operations) for systems used in financial reporting within an audit-ready environment.
• Demonstrated ownership or governance of a chart of accounts, alongside building reports or saved searches in NetSuite (or a comparable ERP) for accounting users.
• Proven track record of partnering with Accounting, Procurement, and Engineering or Product teams to translate business needs into system workflows and integrations.
• Ability to explain technical systems, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to non-technical colleagues, both in writing and conversation.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building or deploying AI agents or automated workflows in a finance or accounting setting, including permissions, human review, and audit logging.
• Experience implementing or administering spend or procurement platforms (Zip, Coupa, Ramp).
• Experience with healthcare billing or revenue cycle systems (claims, remittances, contractual adjustments).
• Working knowledge of SQL or SuiteQL, as well as planning or reporting tools such as Pigment or Hex.
• Relevant credentials such as NetSuite Administrator, ERP Consultant certification, CPA, or CISA.
• Background in a high-growth startup or digital health company.

Benefits & Perks

• 100% Remote Work Environment: Flexible working hours to support healthy work-life balance (must be based in the United States, excluding Hawaii).
• Comprehensive Health Coverage: Medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and FSA/HSA options.
• Retirement Savings: 401(k) plan access.
• Generous Time Off: Comprehensive leave policies, including two company-wide shutdown weeks each year for self-care.
• Paid Parental Leave: Supporting all parents, including birthing, non-birthing, adopting, and fostering.
• Mental Health & Support: Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to support physical and mental well-being.
