Flock - Group Product Manager, Financial Systems

• 8+ years of Product Management experience, including direct management of Product Managers. • Deep, hands-on experience running product management or enterprise architecture within the Order-to-Cash, Record-to-Report and Hire-To-Pay lifecycles. You are fluent in accounting systems language and have a sophisticated understanding of deferred revenue schemas, automated billing schedules, accounts receivable aging logic, and ERP behaviors. • Advanced operational experience managing configurations, data integrations, and subscription modules within enterprise platforms—specifically Salesforce Billing, NetSuite ERP, NetSuite ARM, Rippling, Carta, Fidelity, or specialized subscription management applications (such as ZoneBilling). • A proven track record of acting as a consultative peer to executive stakeholders rather than a passive order-taker. You possess the ability to confidently navigate competing business requests, advocate for system scalability, and help business units align on repeatable, standardized processes before committing to technical code. • Demonstrated excellence in managing a technical product backlog, grooming user stories, and sequencing priorities. You take pride in personal technical ownership and excel at authoring comprehensive functional specifications, schemas, and technical execution criteria. • Experience successfully structuring, directing, and holding external implementation partners or technical consultants accountable to clear, co-delivery delivery gates while maintaining control of the core product strategy internally. • Feeling uneasy that you haven’t ticked every box? That’s okay; we’ve felt that way too. Studies have shown women and minorities are less likely to apply unless they meet all qualifications. We encourage you to break the status quo and apply to roles that would make you excited to come to work every day. • 90 Days at Flock • 90 Days at Flock • We prescribe to 90 day plans and believe that good days lead to good weeks, which lead to good months.
