Manager, Business Systems - Finance Applications

Pie's mission is to empower small businesses to thrive by making commercial insurance affordable and as easy as pie. We leverage technology to transform how small businesses buy and experience commercial insurance.   Like our small business customers, we are a diverse team of builders, dreamers, and entrepreneurs who are driven by core values and operating principles that guide every decision we make.

The Business Systems Manager’s mission is to create a truly frictionless technology experience for our team members. In this role, our Business Systems Manager will lead a team of Application Administrators focused on our Order-to-Cash technology ecosystem. This individual will work with technology and finance teams to identify areas of highest impact across Finance and Accounting Departments and unify systems between organizations. You should feel at home working with teams of technical and non-technical stakeholders, helping bridge that gap as needed.  

Pie Insurance is growing rapidly and that growth has made it necessary to reevaluate many of the existing systems and processes – in most cases, this means starting from a blank slate to build for the best long-term solution. 

Our Business Systems Manager will contribute to the development of high-performing teams through strategic goal-setting, disciplined attention to performance metrics, continuous process improvement, mentorship, and driving outcomes for your customers.
