At SARAH & SEBASTIAN, our work is defined by an uncompromising attention to detail, a relentless pursuit of design innovation, and an ongoing commitment to responsible, sustainable practice.

As we continue to grow and evolve as a business, we are seeking a systems and process minded Finance Systems & Process Manager who brings that same dedication to precision into our financial operations.

In this hands-on, autonomous role, you will lead the Finance work stream for Phase 2 of our NetSuite implementation and review our end-to-end workflows to design, build, and pilot lasting AI and automation solutions from scratch.

THE ROLE

- NetSuite Phase 2 (Finance Workstream): Lead the implementation from a Finance perspective, owning Finance's requirements, testing, and rollout as functionality transitions over from Cin7. You will identify scope requirements (reporting, budgeting, dashboards), flag risks, own post-go-live data integrity/reconciliations, and train the wider Finance team on new system processes.
- Process Review & Automation: Review existing finance processes end to end. Design, build, and pilot AI-enabled or automated solutions (including using Claude, Python, or similar tools) to eliminate repetitive, manual tasks like reporting packs, data consolidation, and reconciliations support.
- Legacy & Handover: Ensure all automated workflows (with a goal of automating 3–4 priority processes during the contract) are robustly documented and handed over so they provide lasting efficiency beyond the length of your contract.
- Team Support & Governance: Act as a practical champion for AI adoption, actively participate in the Finance AI working group, and provide GL coding and process guidance to the wider accounting team.

- Systems Implementation: Experience working through or supporting an ERP implementation or major systems change.
- Automation Capability:



Proven hands-on experience building or implementing automation or AI-enabled workflows (ideally using Claude, Python, or similar tools).
- Technical Accounting: Solid understanding of accounting principles, GL coding, and advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills.
- Qualifications: Tertiary qualification in Accounting, Finance, or Commerce, and a CA/CPA qualification (or actively progressing toward it).
- Attributes: A proactive, curious mindset with a desire to understand how a process works before redesigning it. You must be comfortable operating with ambiguity across concurrent systems and automation streams, and able to hit the ground running.
- Experience in retail, inventory-based, or multi-channel business environments.
- Align with our company values, MAKE WAVES: Think creatively and challenge the status quo. PRECISION: Act with care and attention. COMMUNITY: Collaborate, show respect, and create enduring relationships. PROTECT WHAT IS PRECIOUS: Be ambassadors for ocean conservation and accountable for our impact.
