Finance Transformation Lead (Remote)

The Role

Telnyx is looking for a gritty, systems-savvy leader to drive the next era of Finance at Telnyx. This is not a maintenance role, it’s an opportunity to help build and shape the financial and analytical backbone of a high-growth business. You’ll work closely with FP&A and Accounting to automate processes, connect systems, and deliver clean, real-time data that fuels decision-making.

You will be both architect and operator, helping the team shift from retrospective reporting to predictive, insight-driven action. From integrating AI into financial planning, to building systems that alert us to risk before it hits the P&L. If you're excited by the idea of unblocking teammates, building from scratch, and learning fast, this is your opportunity.

Responsibilities 

• Connect Our Tools: Own and optimize integrations between ERP, CRM, HRIS, and planning tools (e.g., Xero, Anaplan, Power BI, Salesforce).Build Clean Data Pipelines: Deliver structured data to Accounting (journal entries, accruals, error detection) and FP&A (drivers, actuals, variance reporting).
• Automate the Boring Stuff: Use scripts, APIs, or low-code tools to eliminate manual Finance workflows, especially in close, headcount, commission and capex processes.
• Flag What Matters: Build systems that detect anomalies, inconsistencies, or risks before they hit the P&L.
• Enable Forecasting & AI: Support the team in experimenting with AI-driven forecasting, anomaly detection, and decision models.
• Create Self-Serve Insights: Build dashboards and tools that let non-technical teammates get to data fast without depending on you every time.
• Document & Train: Maintain a finance data dictionary and teach teammates how to use new tools and workflows to improve accuracy and decision velocity.
• Partner Cross-Functionally: Work with Product, Sales, Marketing, and Engineering to enrich data sources, and drive consistency and transparency across performance metrics and reporting.

What we are looking for

• 2–4 years of hands-on experience in a finance systems, business operations, analytics, or technical FP&A/Accounting support role
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Operations Management, Engineering, or a related field
• Strong software and systems fluency: Excel/Sheets, SQL, Python or R, Anaplan, Power BI/Tableau, APIs, data pipeline tools
• Track record building data workflows, automating financial processes, or implementing AI/ML tools in a business context
• Excited by ambiguity, fast pace, and big questions with no obvious answers. Deep curiosity and grit are a must
• A natural builder’s mindset. You enjoy fixing broken systems and finding better ways to do things
• Curiosity, grit, and bias for action. You ask good questions, learn fast, and don’t wait to be told what’s broken

Bonus Qualities

• Familiarity with U.S. GAAP and IFRS
• Proficiency in Power BI, SQL, Python, or similar tools
• Experience working with a fast-paced, high-tech start-up or complex company
