Senior Director, Technical Product Management — Financial & Operational Systems

Keystone is a premier economics, technology, and strategy consulting firm built to help companies lead through transformation. As breakthrough innovations reshape industries, redefine competition and change our society, complex and highly competitive ecosystems emerge. Keystone advises technology leaders, Fortune 100 companies, their legal counsel, and governments on business, economic, litigation, and regulatory strategy in relation to these innovations and competitive eco-systems. We operate globally from offices in Boston, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, D.C., London, Dubai, and Bengaluru. About the Role We are seeking a Senior Product Leader to define, build, and scale the financial and operational systems that power how Keystone runs its business. As the firm expands its business lines and geographic reach, the ability to accurately capture consultant time, invoice clients across jurisdictions, manage indirect taxes, and operate the finance function on modern, reliable systems is central to Keystone's ability to scale. This role sits at the intersection of Finance and Product, focused on modernizing Keystone's time-to-cash stack and stewarding the broader financial systems portfolio. The primary focus in the first phase of the role is leading the evaluation, selection, and implementation of replacements for Keystone's time tracking and invoicing platforms to scale operations across multiple entities, currencies, and tax jurisdictions. In addition, the role owns the broader financial and operational systems charter, reflecting the priorities and needs of the Finance organization: NetSuite, Ramp, Adaptive, and the integrations that connect to source systems for HRIS, payroll and other data. This role partners directly with the CFO and VP of Finance to set the systems roadmap, translate financial functional requirements into product decisions, and develop a DevOps roadmap that ensures high uptime, reliable integrations, and effective issue management across the financial systems portfolio. You will take well-defined and ambiguous financial and operational problems, shape them into products and systems that are scalable, reliable, and measurable, and drive outcomes through a mix of vendor evaluation, configuration, hands-on prototyping, integration development, and stakeholder partnership. This is a hybrid role with a minimum in office requirement of 3 days per week. We are not able to provide relocation support for this position. We value talent from all backgrounds; however, for this position, we are unable to sponsor employment visas. We welcome applications from individuals who are already authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship. What You'll Do Product Ownership & Execution Own the financial and operational systems portfolio end-to-end, from problem definition through delivery, DevOps, and ongoing feature iteration. Lead the evaluation, selection, and implementation of replacement time tracking and invoicing platforms — including RFP scoping, vendor scoring, proof-of-concept design, contracting support, and rollout. Translate Finance and Accounting priorities into clear product requirements, system designs, and prioritized backlogs. Contribute directly to implementation through prototypes, configuration, and hands-on deployment of pilots of external products. Financial Systems Stewardship Own delivery of the prioritized feature roadmap and ongoing operational health of financial platforms. Partner with Finance on requirements for multi-entity operation, multi-currency billing, indirect tax compliance (VAT, GST, e-invoicing, and other jurisdiction-specific business taxes), and revenue recognition.

Integrations & DevOps Own the integration architecture connecting financial systems to CRM, HRIS, payroll and Salesforce, Rippling other source systems the Finance function relies on. Develop and execute a DevOps roadmap with the Engineering organization, covering monitoring, alerting, incident response, change management, and release management across financial systems.
