About the role
Enterprise financial planning has a visibility problem. Organizations invest billions across programs and portfolios, yet the tools meant to govern those decisions - budget approvals, reforecast cycles, actuals tracking - are largely disconnected from where strategic decisions actually get made. Finance runs in one system. Portfolio planning runs in another. The gap between them is where strategy breaks down. Tempo Financial Manager is built to close that gap. We are looking for a creative systems thinker who understands enterprise finance from the inside - someone who has implemented financial planning systems, modeled budget cycles for large programs, or guided finance and FP&A teams through tooling transformations. The best candidate for this role may not have 'Product Manager' anywhere on their resume yet. They might be a finance consultant, an ERP implementation lead, or an enterprise solutions architect who has spent years watching organizations struggle to connect their financial plans to their actual portfolio execution. If you know what a rolling forecast really takes, what the CFO asks for in the QBR, and why budget approval workflows always end up in spreadsheets, this role was built for you.
Responsibilities
- Finance and budgeting touches nearly every other part of the product. You'll drive strategy for this domain while working closely with Product Managers across Tempo's ecosystem application portfolio whose work intersects with yours.
- You'll define how Tempo Financial Manager helps organizations manage project budgets, allocate budget across initiatives, track actuals against plan, and make real-time tradeoff decisions all within their strategic planning context.
- Specifically, you'll own:
- Product strategy and roadmap for Financial Manager's budgeting, cost, and billing capabilities
- Discovery with CFOs, FP&A leaders, and finance business partners, understanding how budget authority flows through a modern enterprise
- How Financial Manager connects portfolio investment decisions to financial plans: scenario modeling, threshold governance, and continuous forecasting
- Close partnership with Tempo's integrations team on connecting Financial Manager to ERP and financial systems (SAP, Oracle, Workday, and others)
Requirements
- We care far more about deep domain knowledge than a traditional product management background. If you have lived inside this problem as a finance leader, FP&A analyst, ERP implementation consultant, or enterprise solutions architect, we want to talk to you.
- Specifically, we're looking for:
- Domain experience: 4-8 years in enterprise finance, FP&A, ERP implementation, or financial systems consulting. You know what a rolling forecast really takes and what the CFO asks for in the QBR.
- Organizational fluency: hands-on experience with how organizations actually budget large programs, including the tradeoffs between cost centers, headcount planning, and CapEx vs. OpEx treatment
- Tooling familiarity: you've worked with or around enterprise finance or planning systems (SAP, Oracle, Workday, Anaplan, or similar) and you know where they fall short
- Curios
