Senior Finance Operations Manager
at Fivetran
AMER, Oakland, United States
From Fivetran’s founding until now, our mission has remained the same: to make access to data as simple and reliable as electricity. With Fivetran, customer data arrives in their warehouses, canonical and ready to query, with no engineering or maintenance required. We’re proud that more organizations continue to leverage our technology every day to become truly data-driven.
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Finance Transformation Manager to lead strategic initiatives that modernize and scale our Finance & Accounting organization. While the initial focus will be on Quote-to-Cash (QTC) transformation, this role extends well beyond revenue operations into a broader Finance Transformation mandate. You will drive optimization across core finance processes (Procure-to-Pay, Record-to-Report, Hire-to-Retire), serve as the liaison between Finance and Business Systems, establish a PMO function within the CFO organization, and lead high-impact strategic projects such as post-merger integration, AI strategy for Finance, and end-to-end management reporting frameworks.
This is a highly visible role requiring strong project leadership, deep finance and accounting process knowledge, and the ability to influence across multiple teams in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
This is a full-time, hybrid position based out of our Oakland, CA office. Our hybrid work model offers a blend of remote flexibility and in-person collaboration, including two days in the office each week to connect and build as a team.

- Partner with leadership to shape the finance transformation roadmap, ensuring readiness for growth, scale, and potential IPO.
Liaison Between Finance & Business Systems:
- Serve as the primary interface between Finance/Accounting stakeholders and the Business Systems/IT team.
- Translate finance requirements into technical specifications, ensuring alignment across ERP, CRM, CPQ, billing, and reporting platforms.
- Prioritize projects in partnership with Finance leadership and Business Systems to ensure high-impact delivery.
Project & PMO Ownership:
- Establish and run a CFO PMO function, ensuring strong governance, milestone tracking, and benefits realization across transformation programs.
- Manage multiple concurrent projects, including finance post-merger integration workstreams, ERP/automation implementations, and controls optimization.
- Build project intake, metrics, and reporting frameworks to monitor progress and measure impact.
Special Projects & Strategic Initiatives:
- Drive innovation in Finance by evaluating and implementing new technologies, including AI-enabled tools for forecasting, reconciliation, and reporting.
- Lead the design of an end-to-end management reporting framework that provides actionable insights for decision-making.
- Partner with FP&A, Accounting, and other teams to strengthen data analytics capabilities and elevate reporting accuracy and timeliness.
Change Management & Communication:
- Develop and execute change management strategies to promote adoption of new processes and systems.
- Lead UAT, training, and launch communications, ensuring smooth transition and user buy-in.
- Act as a trusted advisor to Finance leadership by surfacing risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs early.
Skills We’re Looking For
- 8+ years of progressive Finance, Accounting, or Consulting experience, with significant Finance Transformation and QTC experience.
- Demonstrated success leading cross-functional projects that span Finance, IT, and Operations.
- Strong understanding of core finance processes (QTC, P2P, R2R, H2R) and related systems (ERP, CRM, CPQ, billing platforms).
- Proven experience managing complex projects, building PMO structures, and delivering results in fast-paced environments.
- Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and influencing skills with senior leadership.
- Analytical mindset with ability to translate ambiguity into structured plans.
