FloQast is at the forefront of the accounting industry, providing an AI-powered Accounting Transformation Platform created by accountants, for accountants. We are dedicated to revolutionizing how accounting and finance teams work, enabling them to move beyond manual, tedious tasks and into a strategic, advisory role. By leveraging our groundbreaking, auditable AI Agents and purpose-built solutions, we empower teams to streamline their financial close, enhance compliance, and achieve a new level of transparency and accuracy. Our mission is to help accountants reclaim their time, simplify their work, and ultimately shape the future of their profession. Come join us!

As a Senior Product Manager in our Close Automation group, you will own the vision, strategy, and evolution of our Journal Entry Management (JEM) product. Journal entries are the fundamental mechanism of accounting. Every financial transaction flows through them, and JEM is one of the most consequential areas of our platform: it's where FloQast writes data directly back to the ERP's general ledger. You will bring deep accounting and technical expertise to bear as a key partner working alongside Engineering, Design, and cross-functional teams, and shape how the world's leading accounting teams create, review, approve, and post journal entries at scale.

Define and Drive Product Strategy. Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Journal Entry Management. Partner closely with senior Product and Engineering leadership to align JEM's long-term direction with overall company goals, ensuring our solution remains the standard for accounting teams who demand accuracy and control.

Lead a Mission-Critical Product. JEM is one of the few places in our platform where FloQast writes data back to the ERP. A bug here affects financial statements, triggers audit findings, and creates regulatory exposure. You will build and champion a culture of correctness, designing with controls, segregation of duties, and auditability at the center of every decision.

Automate the Close. Identify and prioritize opportunities to automate high-volume, recurring journal entry workflows: accruals, depreciation, prepaid amortization, payroll, and revenue recognition. Drive the roadmap toward a world where routine JEs generate, review, and post themselves, with humans in the loop only where judgment is required.

Enable AI-Powered Innovation. Identify and prioritize AI capabilities that reduce manual effort for accounting teams: intelligent entry suggestions, auto-populated templates, anomaly detection, and duplicate prevention. Translate the potential of AI into features that finance teams will trust and auditors will accept.

Serve Enterprise Customers. Deeply understand the needs of our largest and most demanding customers. Translate complex workflows (multi-level approval chains, intercompany entries, period-lock controls, materiality thresholds) into a prioritized roadmap that keeps JEM best-in-class for enterprise accounting organizations.

Lead with Technical and Domain Expertise. Guide the full product lifecycle from ideation and requirements gathering through launch. Work closely with Engineering on ERP integration patterns and data integrity. Collaborate with Design on experiences that reduce cognitive load for accountants under month-end pressure.

Influence and Evangelize. Act as the primary champion for Journal Entry Management, building internal buy-in for the roadmap and communicating its value to stakeholders across the organization.
