HYBRID in BOSTON
At Klaviyo, we know that building a great company starts with building a great team. We welcome candidates from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, and we care as much about your trajectory and potential as we do about direct, one‑to‑one matches with every requirement.
Klaviyo went public in 2023 and is scaling fast. This is a rare chance to architect the 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.
What You'll Do
As the Head of Engineering, Finance Systems, you will be the accountable technology leader for Klaviyo’s Finance application landscape and core financial workflows. You will define and execute the multi‑year vision for our Finance systems, lead a high‑performing team, and partner with senior Finance and GTS leaders to deliver automation, control, and insight across our procure‑to‑pay, record‑to‑report, and order‑to‑cash processes.
You've spent your career at the intersection of Finance and technology and you've moved beyond just keeping systems running. You think in roadmaps, outcomes, and partnerships. You know what a well-run Finance technology function looks like, and you know how to build one.
You've 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.
