The Mission

Maxa is a software company that solves the critical problem holding back AI transformation in enterprises: a clean, harmonized data foundation. We turn fragmented ERP data into an AI Enterprise Ledger that CFOs can trust - unlocking unified reporting and AI-powered analysis across Finance and Operations.

As a Director Finance Solutions, you’ll sit at the strategic intersection of client success and technical architecture, translating complex business imperatives into high-impact solutions. You will exert a direct, measurable influence on our clients' decision-making capabilities and roadmap starting from your second week.

What You'll Do

Deliver Customer Implementations

Ship Maxa's product with an exceptional customer experience that makes clients advocates.

Partner with CFOs and Controllers to modernize their financial reporting infrastructure.

Design financial data models that bridge the gap between operational systems and executive decision-making.

Synthesize and validate rigorous business requirements through high-level stakeholder interviews, business process deep-dives and technical workshops.

Translate complex accounting requirements (intercompany eliminations, multi-currency, segment reporting) into technical specifications.

Define and deliver actionable insights from financial and operational data.

Champion the Methodology

Document best-practice patterns for common finance use cases (gross margin analysis, working capital reporting, budget vs. actuals).

Scale Through Continuous Improvement

Capture reusable patterns in our Playbook and turn every delivery into training data for the next.

Use AI boldly to automate workflows that 10x our delivery speed.

Obsess over the metrics that matter: cycle time, first-pass quality, customer CSAT.
