At Aleph, we’re not just part of the digital advertising landscape—we’re shaping its future. Representing the world’s leading platforms, including TikTok, Amazon, Google, and nearly 55 others, we operate in 130+ markets across new and existing geographies. Our mission is to empower advertisers and brands to unlock the full potential of these platforms' advertising capabilities. By fostering long-lasting partnerships, we create limitless opportunities for people and businesses to advertise effectively at both local and global levels. With a presence spanning continents, Aleph offers you the chance to be part of a fast-growing, innovative team where your work makes a direct impact. If you’re ambitious, forward-thinking, and eager to thrive in a dynamic, global environment, Aleph is the perfect place to build your career. What you'll do: - Collaborate closely with Finance, IT and internal stakeholders to understand business objectives, and define project scope, goals, deliverables, resource requirements and milestone schedules for finance-related initiatives. - Lead cross-functional teams, including developers, QA engineers, system administrators and business analysts, to deliver IT projects on time, within scope and within budget, from kickoff through go-live and handover to support. - Establish project governance: project charters, RACI, steering committees, decision logs and clear escalation paths, so ownership and decisions are never ambiguous. - Build and maintain integrated project plans, managing the critical path, dependencies and milestones across several workstreams and teams. - Implement project management frameworks (Agile, Scrum, Kanban or hybrid approaches) to streamline workflows, adapting them to fixed finance deadlines such as month-end, quarter-end and audit dates. - Identify manual, repetitive Finance processes and deliver AI-driven process automation: define the business case, success metrics and controls, run pilots, and track adoption and measured savings. - Conduct risk assessments, anticipate blockers, and deploy prompt mitigation or escalation strategies, maintaining risk, issue and dependency logs, including data quality, security, access- control, AI-use and regulatory risks specific to financial data and multi-country operations. - Prepare regular status reports, track KPIs, and maintain transparent communication with leadership, Finance stakeholders, clients and vendors. - Monitor project expenditure, forecast resource allocation, and manage third-party vendor relationships, including statements of work, acceptance criteria and escalations. - Work directly with engineers and architects on integrations between finance and business systems, data flows, testing, environments and releases, and challenge technical estimates when needed. - Run the change request pipeline, release planning, cutover and go-live coordination, and post- implementation reviews, and capture lessons learned. - Develop and deliver training materials and workshops so Finance and IT stakeholders can adopt new solutions and automations. - Stay informed about industry trends and emerging technologies, including AI, and apply that knowledge to improve finance operations and delivery practices. What we are looking for: - Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, Finance, Business Administration or a related field. A master's degree is a plus. - Proven experience (5 to 8 years) managing IT projects, including technical or digital transformation projects delivered end to end as the accountable lead. - Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects and workstreams in parallel, plan critical paths and dependencies, and track delivery through KPIs and risk, issue and dependency logs. - Experience setting up and running project governance, including charters, RACI, steering committees, change control and post-implementation reviews. - Hands-on experience with Agile, Scrum, Kanban and Waterfall, and ability to run hybrid delivery. PMP strongly preferred; PRINCE2, CSM or PSM valued. - Experience owning project budgets and forecasts and governing external development or integration vendors, including statements of work and acceptance criteria. - Hands-on experience delivering AI-driven process automation, for example with LLM-based assistants, document and data extraction, RPA or low-code workflow platforms, including assessing which processes are good automation candidates, defining controls and managing pilots through to adoption. - Experience delivering projects for Finance or other regulated, numbers-driven functions, such as reporting and analytics, treasury or payments integrations, and payables and receivables tooling, with an understanding of month-end close, controls and audit needs. - Strong technical knowledge of the SDLC, cloud and infrastructure, APIs and system integrations, databases and data pipelines, and testing and release management. - Proficiency in Jira, Confluence and Microsoft Project, and advanced Excel and PowerPoint for budget tracking and reporting. - Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex information to Finance, IT and executive stakeholders, plus leadership without direct authority, negotiation and conflict resolution. - Fluent English. Why join Aleph: - Visible, business-critical impact: your projects shape how Aleph’s Finance function closes the books, pays and gets paid across 130+ markets. You’ll have direct visibility to IT and Finance leadership. - Real AI automation, not slideware: you will take AI-driven process automation from business case to pilot to measured savings. That builds one of the most in-demand skill sets in finance technology. - Room to grow: multi-country, multi-entity programmes, e-invoicing and compliance changes give you the breadth to grow toward programme and portfolio leadership. - A collaborative, inclusive team: you’ll work alongside Finance, engineering and architecture colleagues who value clear ownership, open communication and different perspectives, in a hybrid set-up based in Madrid. - At the centre of digital advertising: Aleph partners with TikTok, Amazon, Google and nearly 55 other platforms, so the finance technology you deliver supports one of the world’s fastest-moving industries. In line with the EU Pay Transparency Directive, we are committed to fair and open compensation practices. For this role, the minimum gross annual base salary is EUR 50,000 EUR. In addition to base salary, this role includes a variable component, paid annually. The final offer will reflect your experience, skills, and the scope of the role. ## #ALEPH Why Join Us?
