  • Lead CI initiatives (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen) to eliminate high-volume manual tasks, rework, errors, and process bottlenecks.
  • Quantify, track, and report on benefits realization, including reduced error rates, shorter cycle times, cost savings, and improved employee experience.
  • Foster a culture of continuous improvement across the payroll and accounting teams.
• Project, Change & Vendor Management
  • Serve as the payroll Subject Matter Expert (SME) for key projects, including system upgrades, vendor transitions, and country expansions.
  • Support User Acceptance Testing (UAT), cutover planning, and hypercare support to ensure successful project implementations.
  • Govern vendor performance through SLA tracking, preparing Quarterly Business Review (QBR) materials, and driving service improvement plans (SIPs).
  • Act as a central coordination point for resolving cross-regional operational issues.
• Payroll & Accounting Alignment
  • Partner closely with the Payroll Accounting team to ensure clear ownership and seamless handoffs between payroll processing and accounting activities.
  • Align on and reinforce controls impacting the general ledger (GL) and balance sheet integrity.
  • Support governance of payroll-to-GL reconciliation processes and escalate accounting-impacting issues.

Top 5 Strategic Contributions for Payroll & Payroll Accounting

1. Establish a Unified Framework of Governance & Control

This role will create a single source of truth for how payroll is run, creating clarity and reducing risk for both operations and accounting teams.

• For Payroll Ops: Clear SOPs, escalation paths, and defined controls reduce ambiguity and prevent errors.
• For Payroll Accounting: A robust control framework and segregation of duties ensure the integrity of data flowing into the General Ledger (GL), making reconciliations smoother and more reliable.
• Result: A standardized, audit-ready environment that builds confidence with Finance and Internal Audit. 

2. Drive Data-Driven Performance Management with SLAs & KPIs

The manager will move the organization from reactive problem-solving to proactive performance management by implementing a clear metrics framework.

• For Payroll Ops: Metrics like First-Time-Right and retro correction rates directly measure process quality and pinpoint areas for improvement.
• For Payroll Accounting: Shared metrics on payroll accuracy provide an early warning system for potential accounting issues, allowing for proactive resolution before the books are closed.
• Result: Objective performance visibility that aligns both teams on shared goals of accuracy and timeliness.

3. Embed Continuous Improvement (CI) to Eliminate Manual Work & Rework

This role will systematically identify and eliminate the root causes of inefficiency that plague both departments.

• For Payroll Ops: Targeting high-volume manual tasks and error-prone steps directly reduces the operational burden and frees up capacity.
• For Payroll Accounting: Reducing rework and errors in payroll processing means fewer correcting journals and less time spent investigating discrepancies.
• Result: A more efficient function with lower costs, faster cycle times, and less frustration for both teams.

4. Champion Strategic Automation and Technology Optimization

The manager will act as a key driver for leveraging technology to create a seamless flow of accurate data from HR to Payroll to Accounting.

• For Payroll Ops: Identifying automation opportunities for data validation, report generation, and payment processing.
• For Payroll Accounting: Ensuring system upgrades and new tools are designed with seamless payroll-to-GL reconciliation in mind, automating data feeds wherever possible.
• Result: Reduced manual intervention, minimized risk of human error, and a more streamlined E2E process. 

5. Serve as the Central Hub for Vendor & Project Governance

This role ensures that external partners and internal projects deliver value and adhere to the organization's standards, rather than creating new problems.

• For Payroll Ops: Rigorous vendor SLA management and QBRs ensure service quality and hold partners accountable.
• For Payroll Accounting: By acting as the payroll SME on projects (e.g., system changes, new country expansions), the manager ensures that accounting requirements for controls and data integrity are "baked in" from the start, not added as an afterthought.
• Result: Successful, low-risk implementations and a predictable, high-quality service from vendors.

What you will do

 You’ll be the face of Lighthouse for prospective clients, owning the full sales cycle from prospecting to close. This is a hunter role: you carry a quota, you build your own pipeline, and you’re accountable to outcomes and success. No excuses, just results.

What makes this different: you won’t do it alone. Lighthouse is deploying an agent AI infrastructure — Enablement, Pre-Sales, and Coaching agents — alongside a modern revenue stack. AI handles the prep, the sequencing, and the pattern recognition so you can focus on what matters — building relationships, running sharp discovery, and closing deals.

We work with structured sales methodology, like MEDDPICC to support high-quality deal execution. You’ll advance deals with evidence, protect pricing on value, and forecast with precision. We want to help you use modern tools to become a better seller and achieve great success.

Where you will have impact

• Own your territory and your number. Build and execute a strategic territory plan to generate a net-new pipeline. Maintain 3x pipeline coverage, forecast honestly, and take full accountability for your results. Your quota is your commitment.
• Hunt and build a pipeline. Source a meaningful share of your own pipeline through outbound sequences, ICP targeting, Lighthouse Connect events, and industry conferences. This is not an SDR-reliant role.
• Run a disciplined sales process. Using MEDDPICC to qualify and advance opportunities. Use the AI Pre-Sales Agent to identify gaps before every major call. Advance deals through stage gates with evidence, not optimism. Leverage AI to make your days easier and focus on more selling time.
• Use AI as a force multiplier. Leverage the Enablement Agent for call prep, discovery frameworks, and positioning. Use the Coaching Agent to surface patterns in your pipeline and win rate. Push back on the tools when they’re wrong — help make the system smarter.
• Become a hospitality expert. We will help you understand revenue management workflows well enough to run ROI conversations without a pre-sales overlay on every deal. Position an integrated platform versus point solutions. Know the competitive landscape inside out.
• Drive results beyond net-new. Consistently meet and exceed sales targets through new business and by identifying expansion and upgrade opportunities within your accounts. Partner with Product to share market feedback and influence the roadmap. Represent Lighthouse at industry events to build the brand and your network.

About our team

You’ll join a global Revenue team of 150+ sales professionals across 24 countries. The BI team focuses on a core area of our product suite — a supportive, driven group with real opportunities for career growth and the chance to learn from experienced leaders.

What's in it for you

• Flexible time off: Autonomy to manage your work-life balance.
• Career development: Workshops, frameworks, and training to maximize your professional potential.
• Impactful work: Shape products relied on by 85,000+ users worldwide.
• Referral bonuses: Earn rewards for bringing in new talent.

Who you are

• 2–5 years in a closing sales role, SaaS experience is a must but hunger and skill matters more than industry tenure.
• Self-directed, coachable, and driven to continuously improve. You seek feedback on your calls, your pipeline, and your positioning — and act on it within the next deal, not the next quarter.
• You treat AI tools as a core part of your selling motion, not a novelty. You adopt new tooling quickly and bend it to your style.
• Experience with MEDDPICC or similar qualification frameworks is a plus, not a requirement. What matters is that you bring discipline and structure to how you run deals.
• Strong business acumen with the ability to sell on value, not price. Confident engaging stakeholders from GMs to C-suite.
• You want to win. You prospect when it would be easier not to. You follow up one more time. You’re not okay with a bad quarter.
• You are fluent in written and spoken English and Thai.

The Opportunity

This is not a customer‑facing Product role. This position sits within Agoda’s Tax team under the broader Finance organization, focusing on internal finance and tax platforms that enable compliance, automation, and scalable operations.

As a Finance Systems Product Manager / Senior Specialist (Tax Technology), you will play a critical role in the design, implementation, and ongoing operation of Agoda’s tax technology stack, with a strong focus on indirect tax engines and compliance enablement.

Based in Bangkok with Agoda Services Co. Ltd, this role reports to the Tax Data & Technology Associate Director and is part of a Tax organization that is rapidly expanding to support the evolving global tax landscape for digital services. While the role applies product‑management principles (such as requirements definition, solution design, and lifecycle ownership), it is not part of Agoda’s core Product organization. Instead, you will act as a hands‑on tax systems and solutions partner, working closely with Finance, Accounting, Product, Engineering, Legal, and senior stakeholders, as well as sister brands and our US parent company.

This is a systems‑first, highly practical role at the intersection of tax, data, and technology. You will translate complex tax requirements into scalable system logic, contributing directly to Agoda’s compliance, automation, and risk‑mitigation agenda in a fast‑growing, platform‑driven environment.

As Agoda continues to evolve, the scope of this role may expand. You will be expected to adapt, grow, and take on new responsibilities as the organization and regulatory landscape change.

Key Responsibilities

Tax Systems Design & Implementation

• Contribute to the design, implementation, and continuous enhancement of tax and tax‑related systems, with a primary focus on indirect tax engines and tax services
• Partner with Finance, Accounting, Product, and Engineering teams to define, test, and embed tax requirements into core platforms
• Own and support ERP tax configuration and maintenance, including tax codes and related setup
• Support the integration and optimization of external tax engines and tools across ERP, billing, and payment systems
• Support tax technology initiatives end‑to‑end, from requirements gathering and solution design through UAT, go‑live, and transition to business‑as‑usual support

Indirect Tax Compliance Enablement

• Ensure tax systems are correctly configured to support indirect tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions
• Embed system support for digital tax requirements such as e‑invoicing, real‑time reporting, and jurisdiction‑specific mandates
• Support the Tax team during audits and inquiries by ensuring accurate system outputs, traceability, and audit readiness

Tax Data, Controls & Governance

• Support the definition and maintenance of tax‑relevant data models, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and usability across systems
• Work with Tax, Finance, and Technology teams to design and test automated tax controls embedded within systems and processes
• Document tax processes, system logic, and data flows to support governance, transparency, and control frameworks

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Act as a Tax Technology Subject Matter Expert (SME) within the Finance function
• Translate tax requirements into clear, structured functional specifications and system logic that technology teams can build against
• Liaise with external vendors and implementation partners during system upgrades, integrations, and enhancements

Continuous Improvement & Change

• Identify opportunities to standardize, automate, and simplify tax processes through improved system design and usage
• Stay informed on indirect tax regulatory developments and assess their impact on existing tax technology solutions
• Contribute to the evolution of the Tax Data & Technology roadmap, supporting a scalable, compliance‑first tax ecosystem

Qualifications & Skills

• 6+ years of experience in tax technology, tax systems, or tax transformation projects within a multinational or digital business
• Degree in Accounting, Tax, Finance, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field; professional tax or accounting qualification is a plus
• Proven experience translating indirect tax requirements into system logic, tax determination rules, and configurations
• Hands‑on experience with ERP systems and indirect tax engines, including configuration, testing, and issue resolution
• Familiarity with automation and data analytics tools (e.g. Alteryx, Power BI, or similar)
• Strong ability to analyze end‑to‑end transaction flows, identifying tax determination gaps, data quality issues, and system limitations
• Comfortable working cross‑functionally with Finance, Accounting, Product, Engineering, and Tax teams
• Clear, structured communicator with strong documentation skills, able to explain system logic and tax behavior to non‑technical stakeholders
• Experience working in agile or iterative delivery environments is a plus
• Able to operate effectively in a fast‑changing environment, with the flexibility to grow as the role evolves

About the Role

 The Team Lead, Systems Engineering leads a team of professional Systems Engineers responsible for delivering consistent technical execution, strong customer outcomes, and measurable business impact across a defined region or segment. 

This role balances people leadership, operational execution, and technical oversight. It exists to ensure Systems Engineering efforts stay aligned to business priorities while adapting to a market that continues to change rapidly. 

Veeam has evolved beyond the legacy as a virtualization backup leader into a data resilience platform company. Customers now expect more than recovery—they expect confidence in their data as it becomes increasingly distributed, regulated, and consumed by analytics and AI initiatives. This role plays a direct part in that shift by developing teams that can guide customers through real change, not just product adoption. 

What You’ll Do

This role ensures that Veeam’s strategy becomes execution. By building strong teams, improving how work gets done, and aligning technical engagement to real customer needs, the Manager, Systems Engineering directly influences customer success, partner effectiveness, and Veeam’s credibility in a market where resilient, trusted data is foundational to both security and innovation.

• Manage performance with clarity and fairness, providing coaching that supports growth and accountability.

Business & Operational Alignment 

• Align Systems Engineering activities to sales priorities, account strategies, and regional business plans. 
• Operate with sound judgment in day-to-day decisions, consulting leadership when scope or impact requires it. 
• Track progress against goals and adjust priorities as conditions change. 
• Ensure company initiatives are executed consistently and with purpose. 

Technical & Strategic Oversight 

• Guide teams through complex technical and customer challenges, helping them navigate ambiguity and competing priorities. 
• Serve as a technical escalation point, ensuring architectural quality and alignment to Veeam’s data resilience strategy. 
• Ensure teams can clearly position how resilient, secure, and governed data enables cloud, analytics, and AI initiatives, not just recovery. 
• Share field insight that improves positioning, execution, and cross-functional collaboration. 

Cross-Functional & Ecosystem Leadership 

• Partner closely with Sales Leadership to improve planning, prioritization, and execution. 
• Work across internal teams—including product, engineering, and alliances—to support customer and partner success. 
• Build strong working relationships with customers, partners, and technology vendors. 
• Support partner-led opportunities where appropriate to extend reach and capability. 

What You’ll Bring

• 8+ years of experience in pre-sales systems engineering, solutions architecture, or enterprise technology roles. 
• Experience leading professional teams in pre-sales systems engineering, solutions architecture, or enterprise technology roles in a customer facing environment.  
• A track record of mentoring, performance management, and improving team effectiveness. 
• Broad understanding of enterprise infrastructure and data-centric technologies sufficient to guide and challenge technical teams. 
• Ability to collaborate across functions and influence outcomes without relying on authority. 
• A mindset of curiosity, learning and innovation.
