Director Financial Systems

The Director for Financial Systems is responsible for the architecture, design, and operations of critical cloud-based business applications used by Spotify's Finance and Accounting partners.

Managing a team in NY and Stockholm, you will collaborate with our global process owners in Accounting, Finance, Business Systems, Information Technology, and other delivery teams on the applications strategy and building key capabilities and services to support these organizations.

You understand how both finance and engineering organizations work and simplify and optimize their work day to day. You will own driving the internal financial systems applications roadmap and manage the associated portfolio of projects. You will develop and maintain enterprise-level corporate applications for departments such as Finance, Financial Controls, FP&A, and Internal Audit. You will be responsible for building and overseeing the overall strategy for enterprise business systems applications and ensure business continuity across two geographically separated locations. Your team will partner with both business partners and other engineering teams on continually improving and enhancing monthly and yearly close activities.

Spotify has recently migrated to NetSuite while continuing to maintain an additional rich set of financial applications and landscape. Spotify is at the beginning of a journey, and there’s lots to do in working with Finance, FP&A, Tax, Treasury, Accounting, and Engineering to continue to drive towards an efficient, compliant, and scalable financial landscape.

Your opportunity is to collaborate with your business and technology partners in creating and executing the business and technical roadmap and putting in place the team and services to take us to the next phase of our financial systems. This role also includes how we holistically manage and optimize across many global process areas including procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, record-to-report, Tax, FP&A, payroll, and financial reporting.

WHAT YOU’LL DO :

• Own the finance systems technical strategy and roadmap in close collaboration with the stakeholders in FP&A, Tax, Treasury, Accounting, and Engineering.
• Manage a team of business systems analysts and managers responsible for delivering features and functionality in our Financial Systems.

WHO YOU ARE :

We strongly believe that diversity of experience, perspectives, and background will lead to a better workplace for our employees and a better product for our users and our creators. This is something we value deeply, and we encourage everyone to be a part of changing the way the world listens to music.
