Job Description:

Enterprise Transformation Officer

Mars • CORA FinTech • Full-time

Reports: Portfolio CEO
Location: Mars business / hybrid
About the Role

CORA has acquired a U.S. mid-market banking software division from Finastra (Project Mars). The business operates across five geographies on nine active TSA service schedules, with a 12-month separation clock. The Enterprise Transformation Officer leads the complete operational transformation of the Mars business from a Finastra-embedded division to a standalone Jonas/CORA operating unit and owns the TSA exit roadmap, separation clock, and all non-R&D, non-commercial workstreams.

This is a direct execution role with full execution authority; is not a coordination function.

What You'll Own

TSA Program
  • All nine TSA service schedules: service delivery, SLA compliance, billing/true-up, and exit criteria
  • Chair the TSA Governance Forum (weekly) and represent the Buyer at the Separation Management Office
  • Drive all schedules to exit without extension within 12 months

Professional Services
  • Install the CORA/Jonas PS operating model: Kantata implementation, utilization tracking, rate-card discipline, change-order enforcement
  • Drive PS margin improvement milestones in partnership with VP Client Services

Hosting Migration
  • Lead execution of the hosting migration program (Azure or AWS), working from the architectural target state set by the CORA CTO
  • Own MSP standup, vendor contracts, and infrastructure timelines; ensure migration does not create TSA cliff exposure

"Workstream A" Restructuring
  • Plan and execute headcount and structural cost reduction across G&A, IT, Finance, Ops, BD and PS
  • Track delivery against the Jonas model envelope; report to Executive Sponsor monthly

Governance & Reporting
  • Lead the transformation portion of the Jonas/CORA Executive Check-in (Tue/Thu) and produce milestone reports
  • Maintain the transformation risk register and own associated contingency plans


What You Bring

  • Proven experience leading an operational carve-out from a large platform provider
  • Deep hands-on experience in multi-country payroll, Finance TSA sequencing, and IT logical separation
  • Ability to operate across five geographies and manage a complex multi-workstream program simultaneously
  • Strong enough presence with Finastra, vendors, and the Mars leadership team to hold timelines without escalating everything
  • Comfortable operating in a Jonas/Constellation Software governance model
