As we continue to scale our global platform, the Engineering Manager, Financial Systems will play a critical role in owning and evolving Oracle Fusion Financials and AI-first integration capabilities across high-volume eCommerce and Retail environments.

ROLE OVERVIEW

We are looking for an AI-first Engineering Manager to own and evolve our Financial Systems capability in a high-volume eCommerce and Retail environment. This role centers on Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP (Financials) and its PaaS extension layer — Oracle Integration Cloud, VBCS, and related services — plus the inbound and outbound integrations that connect Fusion to commerce, order, payment, tax, banking, and reporting platforms. You will lead a team of SDEs, Technical and Business Systems Analysts, drive AI-led productivity and transformation, and serve as the strategic bridge between Finance, Accounting, and Engineering. The Engineering Manager, Financial Systems delivers business and fan impact through BOLD leadership and execution excellence, leveraging data, automation, and AI-enabled insights.

HOW WILL YOU DRIVE IMPACT

Success is measured by the ability to deliver results through BOLD capabilities and measurable outcomes.

Team & Leadership Impact (Build Championship Teams)

Cross-Functional Leadership:

Partner with Finance, Accounting, Tax, Treasury, and eCommerce/Retail Engineering teams to translate business needs into scalable, AI-augmented system solutions, acting as a trusted advisor who proactively surfaces AI opportunities rather than simply responding to requests.
Lead investment conversations with senior leadership, including trade-off decisions between new capability delivery, platform stability, and AI tooling, and manage Oracle, system integrators, and software vendors to ensure quality and alignment to the AI-first roadmap.
Evaluate new financial technology platforms and AI tools, making build-vs-buy recommendations grounded in total cost of ownership and strategic fit.

People Leadership:

Lead and develop a team of SDEs, Technical and Business Systems Analysts across technical and functional disciplines, building career paths and growth plans that reflect both domain expertise and AI-first working practices.
Set a high bar for AI tool adoption — ChatGPT/Claude, GitHub Copilot, Oracle AI — coaching team members on weaving these into daily workflows and tracking velocity, AI adoption rates, and time-to-resolution to drive coaching and improvement.
Build a data-driven team culture of ownership and continuous learning, with a demonstrated track record of growing team members into expanded scope and responsibility.

Fan & Customer Impact (Obsessed with Fans)

Own the technology roadmap for Oracle Fusion Financials (GL, AR, AP, Cash Management, Fixed Assets, Revenue/Subledger Accounting), aligned to business priorities and peak-season readiness, ensuring financial systems remain stable and reliable during the high-volume periods that matter most to customers and partners.
Oversee UAT, release management, and production support with minimal disruption during peak season, month-end, and year-end close, targeting zero critical incidents attributable to systems failure.
Own reconciliation between commerce and ERP — order-to-cash, payments to settlements to bank, returns and refunds — and the data quality and controls that underpin accurate, trustworthy financial outcomes for the business.
