Job description
About the Role
This role owns the technology product roadmap for On's global enterprise finance landscape, spanning the core ERP and adjacent platforms across Record to Report, Procure to Pay, Invoice to Cash, Partner Payment & Risk, Tax Compliance, Treasury, and Strategic Analysis. The position sits within the Finance Technologies cluster, which is being transformed into a modern, highly automated, and AI-augmented platform at a moment when automation has evolved from static business rules into intelligent systems, workflows, and agents. The role holder works closely with Finance Business Owners, Engineering Managers, and Functional Leads, and joins a high-trust, cross-functional team of software engineers, product managers, and ERP functional consultants.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and drive the multi-horizon technology product roadmap for the global enterprise finance landscape, spanning the core ERP (Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations) and adjacent platforms across Record to Report (R2R), Procure to Pay (P2P), Invoice to Cash (I2C), Partner Payment & Risk
- Tax Compliance, Treasury, and Strategic Analysis, along with the enterprise integrations tying them to supply chain and commerce.
- Act as the technology domain authority, driving disciplined prioritisation and trade-off decisions in close alignment with Finance Business Owners, balancing quantifiable business value, compliance, user experience, system performance, and technical debt.
- Shape roadmaps anchored in measurable business outcomes and cycle-time reductions rather than arbitrary feature release dates.
- Identify and shape AI-assisted opportunities across financial workflows in alignment with Finance Business Owners, transforming manual operations while maintaining strict auditability and financial controls.
- Spend real time embedded with finance, accounting, and operations teams globally, observing daily workflows, end-to-end friction, and month-end close pressures firsthand rather than collecting static requirements documents.
- Partner closely with senior finance and technology leadership, including Business Owners, Engineering Managers, and Functional Leads, to establish clarity on what gets built, configured, automated, or deliberately left alone.
- Own and groom the technology product backlog, write sharp features, epics, and user stories with clear acceptance criteria, and lead discovery and sprint refinement sessions with engineering and functional consultant teams for rapid, iterative delivery.
- Leverage modern AI tools, low-code automation, or sandbox workflows to build rough proof-of-concepts, test assumptions, and clarify logic before committing to full engineering build, where applicable.
- Steer prioritisation, planning, testing, and go-live cycles across D365 and connected cloud services, staying with initiatives through deployment, training, and post-launch adoption to ensure promised value is realised.
- Champion architectural alignment and integration standards connecting finance, retail, wholesale (B2B), direct-to-consumer (DTC), and supply chain systems.
Required Experience & Qualifications
- Extensive hands-on product management experience shipping enterprise software and platforms that teams rely on daily, with a clear track record of delivering measurable operational and business impact.
- Deep expertise in enterprise finance processes such as general ledger, reconciliation, tax, treasury, and billing.
- Extensive experience navigating modern ERP ecosystems.
- A genuinely AI-forward approach that goes beyond basic prompt wrappers, with understanding of how to apply AI practically to finance workflows, grounded in evaluations, guardrails, human-in-the-loop validation, and cost-per-task economics
- And knowledge of when deterministic logic is the right answer.
- Understanding of the operational dynamics of B2B, B2C, retail, fashion, or apparel supply chains, including how physical inventory, sales channels, and vendor flows impact finance systems.
- Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence without hierarchical authority, translate complex technical architectures into clear business narratives, and defend product decisions with data, risk assessments, and user insights.
- Technical and architecture fluency, including comfort discussing API integrations, data pipelines, cloud architecture, and release cycles with engineers and system architects.
Preferred Skills
- Ideally 7+ years of hands-on product management experience.
- Ideally, experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O or Tier-1 equivalents such as SAP S/4HANA or NetSuite.
