Senior Program Manager - Finance Transformation

Introduction to team

Our Corporate Functions are made up of teams that support Expedia Group, including Employee Communications, Finance, Legal, People Team, Inclusion and Diversity, and Global Social Impact and Sustainability.

Expedia’s Global Finance Technology team is hiring a Senior Program Manager to lead cross-functional delivery for a Book‑to‑Cash and Finance platform transformation initiative. In this role, you will drive integration testing, user acceptance testing, data readiness, align Finance/Tax/Payments/Accounting teams, land decisions and assessments of new controls, and manage dependencies through launch. This non‑people‑manager role focuses on rigorous planning, execution, and measurable business outcomes across highly regulated, audit‑ready platforms.

In this role you will:

• Lead end-to-end planning and execution of the testing cycles, including scoping, entrance/exit criteria, and timeboxed cycles; own the testing tracker, daily updates, and issue triage.
• Orchestrate recurring cross-functional demos and communications (pre-reads, recordings, attendee management) to validate scenarios across the full suite of transaction types.
• Facilitate data conversion and cutover decisions, documenting agreements and required follow-ups.
• Coordinate defect/RAID triage with engineering, ensuring consistent Accounting treatments for all transaction types and timely responses to issues raised.
• Clarify upstream/downstream ownership for various data flows; ensure issues are tracked with the right teams and progress is visible.
• Organize change management activities for business processes and manage user training planning, communication, and execution to ensure adoption.
• Prepare executive-ready weekly summaries and progress readouts that connect testing outcomes, audit/compliance status, and schedule impacts to decision asks.
• Partner with other Program Management resources on completion timelines, risks, and decisions of other projects required for the launch of your project.
• Owns cross-domain delivery across Finance Engineering, Accounting, Payments, Tax, and Analytics, aligning technical and accounting outcomes to business launch timelines.
• Translates governance and audit findings into actionable, sequenced work across platform teams, reducing launch risk and rework.

Qualifications and Experience:

• 7–10+ years of program management in complex, multi-domain platform initiatives (Finance/Accounting/Payments/Tax preferred).
• Demonstrated excellence driving enterprise-scale testing, data readiness programs, and audit/compliance workstreams (SOX/ITGC).
• Skilled at translating accounting/controls requirements into engineering backlogs; fluent with Jira/Confluence and executive reporting.
• Strong facilitation, decision framing, and stakeholder management across IC-to-exec levels; comfortable influencing without authority.
• Analytical rigor; can partner on data validation strategies and reconcile differences across systems.

Nice to have:

• Experience with Oracle Cloud FAH/GL and payout/cash reconciliation flows.
• Exposure to FX, chargebacks, and travel industry booking/settlement nuances.

How you operate:

• Systems thinker with bias to clarity and closure; documents decisions and makes progress visible.
• Operator mindset: converts ambiguity into sequenced, timeboxed plans; holds teams to entrance/exit criteria.
• Relationship-first collaborator who builds aligned plans across Engineering, Accounting, and Product while protecting launch integrity.

The total cash range for this position in Seattle is $155,000.00 to $217,000.00. Employees in this role have the potential to increase their pay up to $248,000.00, which is the top of the range, based on ongoing, demonstrated, and sustained performance in the role.
