What you'll do
- Own the end-to-end product strategy for DMS Accounting workflows, driving prioritization and delivery across GL, AP, AR, and period close domains as part of a broader platform modernization effort.
- Translate complex dealership accounting workflows — from deal posting integrity to intercompany transfers — into implementation-ready features and epics that engineering teams can execute with confidence.
- Partner directly with dealership controllers and accounting staff through discovery, pilot programs, and go-lives to validate assumptions, surface friction, and continuously improve the product experience.

- Identify and size strategic opportunities in adjacent accounting workflows — including AP automation, partner integrations, and multi-store accounting — and build compelling investment cases for leadership.
- Define and track success metrics that connect product decisions to measurable dealer outcomes, including period close cycle time, deal posting error rates, and user adoption across pilot cohorts.
- Serve as the internal subject matter expert on dealership accounting operations, the competitive DMS landscape, and evolving dealer expectations — informing roadmap decisions at both the team and executive level.
