THE ROLE
We're looking for a Finance Systems Lead to own and evolve the systems that support Baseten's finance operations, including ERP, planning tools, and the broader finance and adjacent systems stack, spanning HRIS/payroll, CPQ, and commissions, as we implement, integrate, and automate across them.
As Baseten scales, so does the number of systems finance depends on and touches, from the ERP to planning to compensation and quote to cash tooling. This role exists to bring a dedicated owner to that stack, someone who can lead implementations (partnering with contractors or vendor CSMs for hands-on technical configuration where needed), keep systems integrated and clean as we grow, and find automation opportunities that save the team time.
This is a highly cross-functional role. You will partner with Accounting, FP&A, People, Sales and Revenue Operations, Legal, and IT to understand how each team uses its systems, and design integrations and workflows that serve the business without creating more manual work.

Document system architecture and workflows so institutional knowledge does not live in one person's head
