Description
We are looking for a Financial Systems Specialist to join our Global Financial Systems team in Chicago. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys owning platform reliability, supporting finance stakeholders, and leveraging AI to improve how financial systems are used across a global business.
As the owner of our Coupa and Rossum platforms, you will keep these systems stable, scalable, and well-configured, while also supporting the wider finance systems landscape, including platforms such as NetSuite and Concur.
The role is focused on 70% platform ownership and 30% platform support, but it will evolve over time as we automate support workflows and shift more focus toward enhancements and strategic system improvements.
You will be the face of the Financial Systems team for many Procurement Operations, Finance, and business stakeholders, helping translate system-related issues into clear actions, keeping users informed, and ensuring our platforms remain stable, scalable, and well-supported.
What you’ll do
As a Financial Systems Specialist, your key responsibilities include:
Own the Coupa and Rossum platforms end-to-end, keeping them stable, scalable, and well-configured as core systems the global finance function relies on, while supporting adjacent platforms such as NetSuite and Concur
Provide L1/L2 support across the finance systems landscape, covering ticket triage, incident management, SLA tracking, and root cause analysis
Take on open-ended platform problems, provide clarity, and implement appropriate solutions, simplifying and improving processes within your domain to lift team efficiency
Act as a trusted point of contact for finance stakeholders, translating system issues into clear actions and managing expectations through timely, accurate communication
Identify repetitive support activities and automate them using documentation, process improvements, and AI-assisted tooling
Develop and maintain runbooks, knowledge base articles, and handover materials that reduce recurring issues and capture how Coupa and Rossum are configured
Own and prioritize your support queue, following up promptly on tickets, escalations, and stakeholder requests, operating independently on most decisions and seeking guidance on more complex judgments
Articulate the upstream and downstream implications of configuration and process changes across the finance systems landscape before they go live
Support enhancements and workflow improvements, collaborating with a global team across regions and mentoring colleagues on Coupa and Rossum to keep platforms consistent, reliable, and scalable
What you’ll get
You’ll join a culture of collaboration and excellence, surrounded by curious thinkers and creative problem-solvers. Motivated by a passion for continuous improvement, you’ll thrive in a supportive, high-performing environment alongside talented colleagues, collectively tackling some of the toughest challenges in the financial markets.
In addition, you’ll receive:
The opportunity to work alongside best-in-class professionals from over 40 different countries
Highly competitive compensation package including performance-based bonus structure
401(k) match up to 50%
Comprehensive health, mental, dental, vision, disability, and life coverage
25 paid vacation days alongside market holidays
Extensive office perks, including breakfast, lunch and snacks, regular social events, clubs, sports leagues and more
Who you are
You bring 4 to 6 years of relevant experience in financial systems support, administration, or platform ownership
You have hands-on mastery of Coupa, ideally as an administrator or platform owner, across configuration, approvals, integrations, and supplier or invoice workflows
You have experience with Rossum or a comparable intelligent invoice capture platform, or the aptitude to take full ownership of it quickly
