Principal Financial System Analyst

LHH Recruitment Solutions

We are seeking a highly strategic, detail-oriented, and experienced Principal Finance Systems Administrator to join our Global Finance Operations team. This role serves as the architectural backbone and primary owner of our enterprise financial tech stack, anchored by NetSuite and Coupa. As a hands-on technical leader, you will oversee system configuration, compliance, automation, and critical data pipelines. A massive component of this role involves owning our end-to-end financial integrations, ensuring seamless data flow between NetSuite, Coupa, banking portals, and any other applications. Key Responsibilities Ecosystem Architecture & Administration: Serve as the primary administrator and architect for NetSuite and Coupa Spend Management. Lead system upgrades, configuration changes, custom fields, workflows, and user access provisions. Integration Ownership: Design, build, monitor, and maintain robust automated integrations into NetSuite, including Coupa, Concur, and complex global banking portals (via EDI/API/SFTP). Move away from a siloed "portfolio model" by natively absorbing acquired technologies directly into the core SaaS architecture. Technical Triage & Optimization: Act as the ultimate escalation point for complex technical issues, system bugs, and synchronization errors. Triage integration data mismatches and "break-fix" scenarios with internal IT and external vendor support teams. Compliance & Governance: Ensure all financial systems and custom workflows strictly comply with internal controls, SOX compliance guidelines, IT General Controls (ITGC), and standard data privacy regulations. Business Partnership & Roadmap: Collaborate closely with accounting, FP&A, procurement, and sales ops teams to translate complex business requirements into scalable technical solutions and system enhancements. SOP & Runbook Authoring: Author, update, and maintain comprehensive technical documentation, system runbooks, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure absolute transparency across our technical environments. Deep Domain Expertise: 10+ years of progressive technical experience in financial system administration, with an absolute emphasis on NetSuite and Coupa enterprise management. Integration Expertise: Proven track record of architecting and managing API, EDI, and SFTP-based integrations. Deep knowledge of syncing financial data across Salesforce, procurement tools, and corporate banking networks. Financial Literacy: A strong grasp of core accounting and finance concepts (procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, revenue recognition, multi-currency consolidation, and month-end closing procedures). Analytical Skills: A sharp talent for troubleshooting, debugging broken data lines, and diagnosing systemic errors in a logical, step-by-step manner. Communication & Collaboration: Superb verbal and written communication skills. You can explain complex technical configurations easily to accounting teams, and communicate financial rules clearly to software developers. Middleware Tools: Experience with integration platform middleware tools like MuleSoft. System Certifications: Professional credentials such as NetSuite Certified Administrator, NetSuite ERP Consultant, or Coupa Platform Certification. Equal Opportunity Employer/Veterans/Disabled To read our Candidate Privacy Information Statement, which explains how we will use your information, please navigate to The Company will consider qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records in accordance with federal, state, and local laws and/or security clearance requirements, including, as applicable: California Fair Chance Act Los Angeles City Fair Chance Ordinance Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance for Employers #J-18808-Ljbffr
