About this role

The Finance Transformation Manager role at M is a technical position designed for builders who want to apply engineering, automation, data, and AI to financial infrastructure. This remote opportunity suits technical professionals from software engineering, data, or consulting backgrounds who are eager to solve complex financial operational challenges.

Role Overview

This position is not a traditional finance transformation job. Instead of managing routine accounting processes, the person in this role will engineer solutions for reconciliation, reporting, planning, data integrity, and systems integration. Operating within the Finance function at M, the successful candidate will bridge the gap between finance and technology, utilizing systems like Microsoft Dynamics and Anaplan alongside AI tools such as Claude to build scalable, intelligent financial operations.

Key Responsibilities

Investigate discrepancies between financial systems, such as Microsoft Dynamics and Anaplan, to identify root causes in data flows and integrations.
Build automated workflows and deploy AI tools safely to remove hours of repetitive manual work while maintaining proper human oversight and controls.
Redesign manual reporting processes and create robust internal tools to speed up financial cycles like reconciliations.
Improve data integrity, structure, and reliability across financial operations and planning systems.
Act as a central bridge connecting finance colleagues with technology, data, and engineering teams to translate business needs into working technical solutions.

Requirements

Hands-on technical background in software engineering, data engineering, analytics engineering, technology consulting, ERP functional consulting, or process automation.
Proven track record of building real solutions, such as automations, AI workflows, data pipelines, integrations, reporting tools, or ERP applications.
Strong systems-thinking capability to trace issues across data, integrations, processes, controls, and outputs.
Curiosity about the finance domain and willingness to learn financial concepts, controls, audit requirements, and reporting standards.
Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity and communicate technical ideas clearly to finance professionals.

Questions candidates ask

Is this a traditional accounting or finance management role?

No. This is a technical engineering role situated inside the finance function. M-Kopa is looking for a technical builder who can apply software, data, automation, and AI to finance systems rather than someone with a traditional accounting career background.

Where is the position located?

The position is remote and can be based in any of M-Kopa's operating markets or working locations, as capability matters more than physical location.

What kind of technologies will I work with?

You will work with a modern enterprise technology stack including Microsoft Dynamics, Anaplan, Power Platform, AI and Generative AI tools like Claude, APIs, data pipelines, and various custom automation workflows.

Do I need prior experience working in a finance department?

Prior finance experience is not required. Candidates from software engineering, data engineering, IT consulting, fintech scale-up engineering, or ERP consulting backgrounds are encouraged to apply as long as they have a strong technical building track record and a curiosity to learn financial concepts.

What is required during the interview process?

Candidates will be expected to demonstrate something real that they have previously built, such as an automation, data pipeline, AI workflow, internal tool, or integration.
