About the team

Klaviyo went public in 2023 and is scaling fast. This is a rare chance to make a difference in building Finance systems foundation for a company at this inflection point. The Finance Technology Systems team is part of G&A Systems within Global Technology Solutions (GTS). This group designs, operates, and continually improves the applications and workflows that power how Klaviyo manages money, risk, and financial reporting at scale.

The team partners closely with Finance, Accounting, Tax, Treasury, FP&A, Procurement, and Internal Audit, as well as adjacent technology teams like Corporate IT, Data, and GTM Systems, to ensure our back‑office stack is reliable, well‑integrated, compliant, and ready for a public, AI‑forward SaaS business. We own the roadmap, health, and governance of platforms including our ERP and financial systems (e.g., NetSuite/Oracle), procure‑to‑pay (e.g., Coupa), revenue and billing systems, and related integrations and automation.

This role reports to the Senior Director, G&A Systems and leads the team responsible for Finance Technology Solutions across Klaviyo.

• Set clear expectations around timelines, measurable business outcomes with Finance stakeholders

Drive AI-native transformation across Finance

• You'll partner directly with Klaviyo's AI and data platform teams and Finance Engineering to embed AI into core Finance processes with clear guardrails, measurable productivity gains, and the rigor expected of a public company.

Who You Are

You've spent your career at the intersection of Product, Finance and Technology and you've moved beyond just keeping systems running. You think in product design, roadmaps, outcomes, and partnerships. You know what a well-run Finance technology function looks like, and you know how to build one.

You've worked in or led teams through real complexity: ERP and other transformations, SOX audits, billing system overhauls, or the messy work of integrating Finance systems across a growing company. You don't need a perfect environment to do great work, you create structure where there isn't any, and you bring Finance and engineering stakeholders along with you.

Specifically, you likely bring:

• 10+ years in enterprise or business systems, with meaningful ownership of Finance technology at a tech or SaaS company
• 4+ years in product design, responsible for order-to cash, record-to-report, procure-to-pay, revenue/billing, and financial close systems
• Understanding of practical SOX ITGC experience and a clean track record working with Internal Audit and external auditors
• Solid understanding of enterprise-led growth and system features required to enable moving upmarket
• Fluency in ERP and Finance application architecture (NetSuite/Oracle, Coupa, Avalara, Zip, Zuora, or similar), integration patterns, and how Finance data flows across a modern tech stack
• Partnering with strong engineering team with AI build-first mentality 
• Personally built or scaled AI and automation in Finance workflows - reconciliations, invoice processing, forecasting prep and can speak to what worked and what didn't
• A reputation as a trusted partner to engineering and finance leadership; someone who translates complexity into clear decisions and earns credibility with CFOs, CAOs, Controllers, Revenue Operations, and auditors alike
