About this role
We're looking for a Finance Systems & Transformation Manager to own the technology ecosystem that powers ClickHouse's Finance organization. This is a rare, high-impact role at the intersection of Finance, Engineering, and Operations, reporting to the Corporate Controller and serving as the Finance technology leader.
In this role, you'll own Finance systems end-to-end such as implementations, integrations, data integrity, AI adoption, and the governance framework that keeps it all running reliably. If you've thrived in high-growth environments, love building systems that didn't exist before, and want to do work that directly shapes a company's path to IPO, this role is built for you.

- Serve as the bridge between Finance and technical teams, translating business requirements into scalable system solutions and owning successful delivery, adoption, and change management.
System Implementations
- Lead enterprise-wide Finance system implementations, major enhancements, and platform migrations.
- Own cross-functional dependency mapping for every implementation by documenting upstream and downstream impacts.
- Embed IT General Controls (ITGCs) into each new system as it's implemented, building the SOX-ready control environment required for a public company.
Integration Management & Data Integrity
- Lead the implementation of integrations and remediate recurring failure points across the Finance technology stack, reducing manual intervention and improving data reliability.
- Own the integrity of Finance data flows across all integrated systems by proactively identifying breakdowns, resolving mapping failures, and eliminating manual workarounds that create control risk.
- Develop scalable reconciliation frameworks and automated controls that surface discrepancies in real time, before they reach financial reporting.
AI & Automation
- Design, prototype, and deploy AI agents and intelligent workflows that automate repetitive processes, manage exceptions, improve reconciliations, and increase the speed and accuracy of Finance operations.
- Partner with Engineering, IT, and business stakeholders to design and deploy secure, governed AI-enabled workflows that improve productivity, reduce manual effort, and enhance decision-making.
- Define the governance framework for AI adoption in Finance by developing data access controls, acceptable use policies, auditability stan
