\n


What You Will Do
  • Build and maintain the AI/Automation use cases across the Accounting Organization: volumes, cycle times, touch counts, exception rates, and current controls.
  • Convert the use cases into a ranked pipeline with a defensible value case per use case, using the Sophos AI ROI Success Metrics framework (Business Value Created, Productivity Capacity Gained, Cycle Time Improvement, with attribution percentage and Cost of Delivery).
  • Work with business SMEs to redesign current processes and control specifications precise enough for a Power Platform builder or citizen developer to work from without guessing.
  • Design the exception path: Define what the automation cannot handle, who reviews it, and what evidence the review leaves behind.
  • Take control design through review with the Controller and Internal Audit, and hold the production go / no-go conversation.
  • Run user acceptance testing with business SMEs and own the hyper care period after go-live.
  • Report delivered monthly value into the existing CFO Council and Senior Management Leadership reporting cadence.


What You Will Bring

Must Have:

  • Five or more years inside an accounting function (AR, AP, Credit, Revenue, General Accounting, or close)
  • Two or more years of experience in building AI Automation using Microsoft Power Platform (Power Automate, Copilot Studio, AI Builder, Power BI); has personally delivered automations into production in a controlled environment and can describe the control design and the exception handling.
  • Has worked with internal or external auditors on a process or control of change and can explain how the change was evidenced.
  • Can decompose a process into steps, decisions, and exceptions with enough precision that a builder does not have to interpret.
  • Works across functions without formal authority and can hold a position when a process owner's priorities conflict with the roadmap.

Preferred:

  • Experience in SAP, Zuora, or comparable ERP and billing applications.
  • Revenue recognition exposure under ASC 606, or month-end close ownership.
