Staff Product Manager, Financial Systems

How You'll Contribute:

• Identify & Prioritize: Identify, define, and prioritize features & product enhancements that matter. You will communicate the value to the organization, and develop the metrics using data that supports the business case.

• Know the Personas: Develop a deep understanding of finance, procurement and  operational persons and their end to end workflows from both the customer and internal accounting teams perspective so that requirements reflect how the work actually gets done from both the Procure to Pay and Order to Cash lenses.

• Cross Functional Alignment: Act as the hub between Engineering, Finance and Accounting, Sales, Order Operations, Partner Experience, Legal, and Tax, so that launches land with the field ready and users are informed.

• Own Release Enablement End to End: For every release, you own the communication, documentation, SOPs, and training, and coordinate with Marketing to inform customers and partners. Ensure that the work done turns a deployed feature into an adopted one.

• Build Controls into the Product: Partner with Accounting, Controllership, Tax, and Internal Audit so that segregation of duties, approval thresholds, the audit trail, revenue recognition treatment, and SOX-relevant controls are designed into workflows rather than reconciled around them afterward. Collaborate with other product managers to guide them through finance required specifications necessary for feature sign off and acceptance. 

• Apply automation and AI where it is verifiable: Target the highest volume of manual work such as cash application, invoice exception handling, dispute triage, payout inquiries with automation that is measurable, reversible, and gated by human review where the cost of a silent error is high.

Deconstruct Complex Problems: Break large, ambiguous problems into smaller pieces that deliver iterative wins, without losing sight of the outcome they add up to.

• Research & Auditing: You will work with accounts receivable and accounts payable teams and research/troubleshoot complex sales orders, purchase orders, general ledger postings and determine a course of action.

What You'll Bring to Xometry:

• 8+ years of product, program or project management experience, and 4+ years in an accounting related role such as book keeping, staff accounting or audit.

• Accounting fundamentals are at the core of this position. Working fluency with accounting fundamentals, accrual concepts, revenue recognition, chart of accounts, reconciliation, month end close, audit and SOX controls sufficient to partner with Controllership and Accounting as peers rather than as requesters.

• Experience working with accounting software platforms (Sage Intacct, NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, or similar) that include the general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable or procurement subledgers, and how journal entries are recorded between ledgers; or homegrown systems that act as the subledger.

• Experience designing policy driven workflows (credit limits, approval routing, tiered sign-off, exception queues, escalation logic) rather than single user tools.

• Track record integrating with ERP platforms and third party solutions such as Stripe, Avalara, High Radius, Zuora, and eProcurment providers such as Coupa and Ariba.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication, with the ability to distill financial and operational complexity into a clear narrative for engineers and executives alike.

• Proven ability to operate autonomously with a passion for problem solving and diving deep into transactional ecosystems to understand the micro details that are recorded in accounting systems.  

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or business, or 10+ years in an accounting related field; advanced degree (MBA,MS, MAcc) and ASC 606 a plus
