Technical Financial Systems Lead

Make Your Mark: BlackLine is looking for an experienced Technical Financial Systems Lead to join our Financial Systems team. In this role, you will be responsible for the development, enhancement, and support of the SAP Commissions platform, working closely with our Sales Compensation team to bring their plans, quotas, and crediting rules to life in the system. The ideal candidate will bring strong technical expertise in SAP Commissions, an understanding of incentive compensation frameworks, and the database and SQL skills this platform requires behind the scenes. Because commissions inputs originate in our sales tools and flow through the Quote-to-Revenue (Q2R) stack, this is a highly cross-functional role that partners with Sales Operations, Finance, Accounting, and the Q2R team to deliver solutions that meet business needs while driving operational efficiency. The Financial Systems team is AI forward, and AI development tooling is part of how we build, test, and document. We are also extending commissions into more advanced analytics through our financial systems toolkit, Snowflake and Sigma, and this role will be part of that work. The ideal candidate will have experience improving system stability, defining migration procedures, and providing recommendations to the business based on best practices. You'll Get To: Develop, configure, and maintain the SAP Commissions platform to support compensation and incentive programs. Implement compensation logic, quota and credit assignments, workflows, and reports as defined by the Sales Compensation team. Manage integrations of SAP Commissions with Salesforce, Workday, NetSuite, Snowflake, and other business applications. Define integration processes, document requirements, and ensure accurate data flow across platforms. Perform the database work the platform depends on, including staging and validating inbound data, writing and tuning SQL, reconciling inputs, and tracing calculation or payout discrepancies back to source. Collaborate closely with the Q2R team on data definitions, upstream system changes, and testing, so bookings and revenue data tie cleanly to commissions inputs and downstream accrual reporting. Contribute to our advanced analytics roadmap by extending commissions reporting into Snowflake and Sigma, so plan performance, attainment, and accrual data sit alongside the rest of the finance data estate. Work with business stakeholders to review existing compensation processes and create a roadmap to leverage SAP Commissions' capabilities to increase efficiency and reduce manual interventions. Identify opportunities for process improvements and system optimizations. Architect and implement complex customizations, including commission calculation models, reporting, and performance dashboards within SAP Commissions. Ensure scalability and system stability with a focus on long-term performance.
