Finance Integration Lead

Company Description

Depop is a peer-to-peer circular fashion marketplace where anyone can buy, sell and discover secondhand fashion. Our mission is simple: to make fashion circular by making secondhand as exciting and rewarding as buying new.

Founded in 2011, Depop’s diverse community has helped move resale into the mainstream, where buying secondhand is no longer an alternative, but how people of different ages now engage with fashion. Today, more than 56 million registered users come to Depop to find great value, express their own personal style and give clothes a longer life. We believe that everything you want already exists, and our role is to help people discover it.

Powered by a team of over 500 people, our company is headquartered in London, with offices in New York. In 2021, Depop became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Etsy - the global marketplace for unique and creative goods - and continues to operate as a standalone company.

We aim to create an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, no matter who they are or where they’re from. Just as our platform connects people globally, we believe our workplace should reflect the diversity of the communities we serve. We thrive on the power of different perspectives and experiences, knowing they drive innovation and bring us closer to our users.

Background:

We're looking for a Finance Integration Lead to own the project management and execution of our finance systems integration (covering ERP and Source-to-Pay) on behalf of Depop's finance team.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, knows how to translate system change into workable, well-documented process, and can provide clear, confident leadership throughout a complex integration programme; bringing structure and clarity to the team at every stage.

Responsibilities:

The core aspects of the role include:

• Own the end-to-end project management for Depop of the finance systems integration workstream, including programme planning, milestone tracking, risk and issue management.

• Serve as the primary finance representative in cross-functional integration workstreams, ensuring Depop's finance priorities, constraints and timelines are clearly communicated and advocated for

• Lead a review of current finance processes, systems and data flows, producing clear documentation of the as-is state as a baseline for integration planning

• Identify process gaps, risks and interdependencies arising from the transition to new ERP and S2P systems, and develop mitigation plans in collaboration with internal teams

• Lead the design and implementation of new finance processes and controls required as a result of system changes or new group-level requirements, ensuring they are practical, scalable and well-documented

• Coordinate Depop's readiness for key integration milestones including data migration, system configuration sign-off, user acceptance testing (UAT) and go-live

• Act as a change management lead for the finance team through the transition — developing communication plans, coordinating training, and supporting colleagues in adopting new ways of working

• Build and maintain strong working relationships with counterparts on the systems integration team, advocating clearly for finance's priorities, constraints and ways of working

• Maintain a clear view of business continuity risks during the transition period and work proactively to ensure finance operations remain stable throughout

Key requirements:

• Proven experience in finance systems integration or ERP/S2P implementation projects, ideally in a fast-moving or scale-up environment

• Strong project management skills: you can hold a complex workstream together without needing everything to be defined upfront

• Hands-on finance process knowledge: you understand how AP, AR, procurement and reporting workflows actually function day-to-day

• Excellent stakeholder communication skills: comfortable presenting upward and working cross-functionally

• Comfortable with ambiguity: this role will require pragmatic decision-making where scope is still being defined

• Experience with common ERP platforms (e.g. NetSuite, SAP, Oracle) and S2P tools (e.g. Coupa, Zip, Workday) 

Bonus:

• Experience with SAP S/4HANA & Ariba S2P

• Experience with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) requirements

• Experience with AI deployment for finance
