Head of Finance Operations
Muse Group is seeking a Head of Finance Operations to build and lead the operational backbone of our global finance organization. This is a hands-on execution role for a seasoned finance operator who can design reliable systems, drive process discipline, and ensure our finance function runs with consistency and clarity across time zones.
This position is focused squarely on operational excellence — not financial strategy. You will own the day-to-day and month-to-month rhythms of finance, bridging our US and international teams and translating strategic priorities into repeatable, high-performing routines.
What’s in it for you?
- High-impact global ownership: you’ll own the finance operating rhythm across US and EU teams, ensuring smooth execution of close cycles, cadences, and cross-functional coordination.
- Opportunity to build and transform finance operations: lead the design of scalable processes, governance frameworks, and ERP/NetSuite initiatives that shape how finance operates at a global level.
- Strong visibility and data-driven influence: define KPIs, build operational dashboards, and work closely with senior leadership to drive continuous improvement and measurable business impact.
We are actively integrating AI and automation into all areas of the business and expect candidates with mindset focused on improving efficiency and deliver a better user experience.
Key responsibilities
Required experience
- 5+ years of experience in finance operations, controllership, or accounting operations
- Demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-entity month-end close processes across timezones
- Multi-country finance experience with an understanding of cross-border operational nuances
- Hands-on ERP experience — NetSuite strongly preferred
- Proven track record of building process discipline and driving operational improvement
- Strong program and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple work streams
- Detail-oriented and highly organized, with a bias for execution over analysis
- Ability to simplify complex workflows into clear, scalable systems
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills across all levels of the organization
- Data-driven mindset with a focus on measurable outcomes
