Job Description:

Crowe LLP is seeking a technically hands-on, product-focused Finance Transformation Technology Manager to lead the architecture, development, and delivery of data-driven, AI-enabled solutions that transform how our clients manage financial operations.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product development, and finance transformation consulting. You'll be designing new financial technology solutions-not just orchestrating delivery but writing logic, structuring workflows, and making critical design trade-offs. You will also coach consultants, guide client stakeholders, and drive real-world transformation outcomes.

The ideal candidate has built systems, coded, designed cloud-native architecture, and is ready to shape and scale the future of finance technology in a consultative environment.

You will collaborate closely with clients, Crowe leadership, and cross-functional teams to define and execute transformation roadmaps that combine financial expertise with emerging technology to enhance operational efficiency, financial reporting accuracy, and strategic decision-making. The role offers significant opportunities for upward mobility and professional growth. While primarily remote, the successful Manager or Senior Manager will occasionally work in-office to oversee the team and foster a collaborative environment as well as work directly with clients.

Key Responsibilities:

Technical Product & Solution Ownership:

• Design, prototype, and implement digital solutions that automate and optimize finance operations (month-end close, reconciliation, forecasting, reporting).

• Lead system architecture decisions for data pipelines, microservices, automation logic, and cloud-native integrations (Azure, AWS, or GCP).

• Translate business goals into working code, platform logic, and product features-owning the full technology stack and trade-offs.

Finance Transformation Leadership:

• Lead the delivery of finance transformation projects with a focus on technical execution, AI/ML implementation, and data automation.

• Drive client engagements across industries, helping CFOs and finance leaders modernize reporting, controls, and digital workflows.

• Bring clarity to complex finance challenges by merging financial insight with product design and engineering strategy.

Stakeholder & Client Collaboration:

• Partner with business stakeholders and client leadership to gather requirements, shape roadmaps, and ensure alignment across teams.

• Present solution designs and explain value trade-offs to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Build strong, trusted relationships with clients and serve as a key voice in long-term transformation initiatives.

Team Leadership & Coaching:

• Mentor and lead junior consultants, data analysts, and engineers on project teams.

• Foster a collaborative, high-performing culture that prioritizes ownership, innovation, and client value.

• Guide team members in both technical execution and business problem solving.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or Data Engineering.

• Minimum 2 years of hands-on programming experience (e.g., Python, SQL, TypeScript, etc.).

• 4-7 years total experience across software development, product/solution design, or data system architecture.

• Experience leading technical finance transformation or automation projects.

• Familiarity with DevOps principles, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Proven success leading large AI, automation, or digital transformation initiatives.

• Demonstrated success managing project teams or mentoring junior staff in a consulting, product, or delivery environment.

• Travel up to 30% annually as needed

Preferred Skills & Experience:

• Cloud certifications (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and deeper certifications in AI, Machine Learning, or Data Engineering.

• Experience in Tech, SaaS, or FinTech environments where the end product is software.

• Knowledge of ERP and CRM systems (e.g., NetSuite, Dynamics, Salesforce) and integration with finance platforms.

• Understanding of financial reporting, GAAP/IFRS, or exposure to accounting operations specifically in a Public Accounting environment.
