About the Role

We are seeking a strategic, results-oriented Director of Program Management, M&A & Growth to lead complex M&A and strategic growth initiatives (new offer launches, new SKU/pricing strategies, and international market expansion) across our Finance organization. The ideal candidate is an enthusiastic leader and proactive problem-solver who is capable of managing projects across multiple Finance functions (Revenue, Controllership, Tax), collaborating with cross-functional teams (IT, Product, Sales), driving standardization, and communicating with executive stakeholders.  This role requires strong executive presence, deep financial and operational acumen, and the ability to identify, mitigate, and escalate program delivery risks to leadership.

Responsibilities:

• Drive post-close financial integration programs across accounting, treasury, tax, billing/order-to-cash, procurement, and FP&A. Curate, execute, and continuously refine repeatable M&A playbooks to accelerate future acquisitions.

• Lead planning & delivery of programs for new offer structures, product launches, pricing/packaging models, and expansion into new geographic markets.

• Bridge upstream commercial teams (Sales Ops, Product Marketing, Legal, Pricing) and downstream Finance operations (RevOps, Billing, Tax, SOX) to ensure system and process changes don't disrupt billing cycles or the revenue pipeline.

• Enable timely design decisions across financial workflows, ensuring legacy operations transition smoothly into Workday standards while maintaining financial controls and operational continuity.

• Establish frameworks, tracking, and executive reporting for growth initiatives. Design frameworks to measure value realization, financial performance, and post-launch outcomes.

• Proactively identify systemic risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks across multi-functional workstreams, developing robust mitigation strategies.

• Elevate the Finance organization’s strategic capability by developing program managers, instituting best practices, and driving standard governance principles.

Our Approach to Flexible Work
 

With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
