    Requirements

    Domain Expertise (The "Functional" Requirements)
    • Finance Operations: Deep understanding of Order-to-Cash (O2C), Procure-to-Pay (P2P), and General Ledger (GL) structures. Familiarity with ERPs like NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or SAP.
    • Legal Tech: Experience with Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) tools (e.g., Ironclad, LinkSquares) and the automation of NDA or MSA workflows.
    • Compliance & Governance: Understanding of SOX compliance, GDPR, and data privacy requirements as they relate to moving sensitive financial and legal data across systems.
    Technical Mastery (The "Techno" Requirements)
    • iPaaS & Integration: 3+ years of hands-on experience building, debugging, and maintaining complex workflows in N8N, Workato, or Zapier. Must understand Webhooks, REST APIs, and JSON data structures.

    • Scripting: Ability to write basic JavaScript or Python snippets to handle data transformations that standard "no-code" nodes cannot process.

    • Process Architecture: Ability to transform a messy "whiteboard" discussion into a clean Lucid chart or Miro process map that identifies every edge case.
    • Requirement Translation: Proven track record of writing high-quality User Stories and Acceptance Criteria that developers can execute without constant back-and-forth.

    • Experience with Git-based version control for managing automation code/exports.
    • Previous experience in a FinTech or highly regulated SaaS environment.
