About the job
This role sits at the intersection of finance, process transformation, and technology. It is broader than EPM platform management alone and is accountable for helping define and deliver the roadmap for Plan to Perform capabilities across Finance. Operating as a senior individual contributor, you will work with the transformation team on process redesign, business analysis, solution design, and program execution, while partnering closely with Finance, Data, and Technology stakeholders.
This role will serve as the primary technology and transformation partner for the FP&A value stream, helping modernize planning, forecasting, reporting, and analytics processes; drive cross-functional alignment; and identify opportunities to leverage automation and AI to accelerate finance outcomes. The role should remain grounded in systems and solution delivery, but with equal emphasis on business process transformation and portfolio leadership.
The ideal candidate is a strong process and transformation leader with experience spanning finance processes, business systems, and cross-functional program delivery. They understand FP&A deeply enough to engage credibly with finance stakeholders, while also bringing the structured thinking and technical fluency needed to guide solution design and systems-enabled change.
They are comfortable leading a team, navigating ambiguity, and influencing across a complex stakeholder environment. They can balance strategic roadmap thinking with practical execution and bring a modernization mindset that includes process simplification, connected planning, and the thoughtful application of AI and emerging technologies.
Responsibilities Lead transformation across the Plan to Perform value stream, partnering with a team of business systems and transformation professionals as the primary technology partner for FP&A.
- FP&A Transformation Roadmap: Define and drive the roadmap for FP&A transformation — process modernization, capability evolution, and systems enablement across planning, forecasting, reporting, and analytics.

- Business Analysis & Solution Delivery: Oversee business analysis, process design, and solution execution to ensure initiatives deliver measurable improvements in efficiency, standardization, and decision support.
- Program Execution : Drive cross-functional execution of a program from requirements through delivery, ensuring it is delivered on time, to a high standard of quality, within budget, and in accordance with stated business and technical objectives.
- Stakeholder Influence & Decision Support: Act as a trusted advisor to finance leadership, using data and analysis to inform prioritization and decision-making; influence senior stakeholders without direct authority to harmonize on strategy and sequencing.
- AI & Automation Enablement: Identify opportunities to leverage AI, automation, and modern finance technologies to streamline processes, improve insights, and accelerate finance transformation outcomes.
- Adoption & Change Leadership mindset: Spearhead the change management efforts by working with the change team for transformation initiatives, including developing and executing targeted communication plans, stakeholder engagement strategies, and detailed training programs to ensure successful adoption and full integration of new processes and systems.
