Full Job Description
Squarespace is looking for a Manager, Financial Systems to lead cross-functional delivery, partner with Finance leadership, and independently drive solutions across multiple critical Finance processes. Our Financial Systems team runs and evolves Finance so the function operates with less manual effort, stronger controls, and better data, enabling Finance to scale with the company. We are a small, hands-on, high-trust team where everyone owns platforms end to end and is the go-to for their systems across Finance. You will work closely with Accounting, AP, Tax, Procurement, Internal Controls, FP&A, Engineering, and IT. This is an opportunity to own the entire Finance systems stack - NetSuite, Coupa, NSPB, and more - with decisions that land across Controllership, AP, Tax, and FP&A rather than inside a single process.

This is a hybrid role working from our NYC office 3 days per week. You will report to the Director, Financial Systems.
You'll Get To...
  • Lead and develop a team of 3-4 direct reports, setting priorities, managing workloads, and providing regular feedback that drives growth and performance

  • Drive implementations, enhancements, and ongoing maintenance across platforms - including SOX compliance, data integrity audits, and quality controls
  • Partner with Accounting, FP&A, Tax, AP, Procurement, Controls, Data Analytics, and IT to translate financial process needs into durable technology solutions
  • Manage priorities, trade-offs, and risks across a multi-project environment while maintaining a transparent intake and prioritization process
Who We're Looking For
  • 8+ years of experience in financial systems, including 3+ years leading a team or function, with a track record of delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives
  • Hands-on experience administering financial systems - managing configurations, integrations, and platform health across a multi-tool environment
  • Demonstrated ability to manage service delivery across competing priorities, keeping partners informed and execution on track without heavy process overhead
  • Experience leading people through ambiguity: setting direction, delegating clearly, and building a team that brings solutions rather than problems
  • Proven ability to drive alignment across Finance, Engineering, and IT partners on system decisions with meaningful downstream impact
Nice to Haves
  • Experience designing or automating financial workflows to reduce manual effort
  • Background managing external vendors or implementation consultants
Benefits & Perks
  • A choice between medical plans with an option for 100% covered premiums
  • Fertility and adoption benefits

  • Flexible paid time off
  • 12 weeks paid parental leave and family care leave
