THE ROLE At Halter, we don’t just "do" finance; we build the engine that powers our global growth. We are looking for a Finance Manager who is as comfortable in the weeds of a Tier 1 ERP as they are in the boardroom. This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit in the back office, you’ll be a key navigator as we charge forward toward our mission. You’ll lead a high-performing team to ensure our financial foundations are rock-solid, our risks are managed, and our strategic decisions are backed by razor-sharp insights. WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING 1. Driving the Operational Engine You'll own the daily heartbeat of our finance function. From overseeing AP/AR and payroll to managing our treasury, you ensure the gears keep turning. Your goal? A month-end close so accurate and timely it could set a world record. 2. Automation architecture. Design and implement end-to-end automated workflows across the finance function. Your baseline assumption: if a human is doing it repeatedly, a system should be doing it instead. Hunt for every opportunity to take manual work off the table. 3. AI-powered finance ops. Champion the adoption of AI-driven financial tools, from anomaly detection and forecasting models to intelligent reporting. Evaluate, pilot, and embed solutions that keep Halter ahead of the curve. We don't do manual work if a machine can do it better, and you'll be the one making sure it doesn't. 4. Strategic advisory & insights. You aren't just reporting on the past; you're helping us build the future. You'll provide the data-driven "so what" to senior leadership, identifying cost-reduction opportunities and guiding long-term business decisions that move the needle. 5. Safeguarding the growth. As we scale globally, you'll be the architect of our internal controls. You'll implement the systems and processes needed to safeguard our assets and manage risk across international borders. 6. Leadership & mentorship. Lead, mentor, and inspire our finance staff. Build a culture where automation curiosity is celebrated, continuous improvement is the norm, and "we've always done it this way" is a red flag, not a justification. WHO YOU ARE - The ERP Expert (or Enthusiast): You ideally have 3+ years of experience managing inventor
