Full Job Description
What You\'ll Do:

Our Finance AI and Data Strategy practitioners build and execute transformational strategies for how organizations reinvent their Finance function through AI and data. You\'ll own the full arc - from vision to roadmap to delivery - working across some of the most complex Finance environments in the world.

  • Shape the vision. Define compelling Finance AI strategies that connect to real business outcomes - revenue upside, cost takeout, and competitive advantage.
  • Earn the room. Build trusted advisor relationships with CFOs and senior Finance leaders, becoming their go-to thought partner on AI and data transformation.
  • Architect the path forward. Design AI and data strategies that cover technology platforms, data foundations, operating models, and talent - not just the technology layer.
  • Make the case. Develop the business case, investment profile, and ROI models that turn a bold vision into a funded, sequenced roadmap.
  • Assess and diagnose. Evaluate an organization\'s AI and data maturity across strategy, talent, operating model, and data infrastructure - and know exactly what needs to change.
  • Build for scale. Use scaled agile disciplines to sequence delivery of critical data elements, data products, and feature functionality that compound over time.
  • Embed Responsible AI. Infuse ethical AI principles from the start - building client trust and making responsibility a competitive differentiator, not a compliance checkbox.
  • Drive commercialization. Identify and develop AI-first product strategies and ecosystem partnerships that open new revenue streams for clients.


Ability to travel up to 80%; travel as needed based on client expectations.

Here\'s What You Need:
  • 5+ years of deep fluency in AI & Data Strategy - from enterprise-wide data architecture to function-specific plays across Finance, HR, and Operations. You\'ve shaped the thinking, not just executed it.
  • 5+ years of focused Finance AI and Data work - you understand how CFO organizations operate, what keeps Finance leaders up at night, and how AI and data can change that calculus.
  • 5+ years developing value cases and ROI models - you can translate a bold vision into a business case that gets funded and a roadmap that gets built.
  • 5+ years of hands-on data management and analysis, paired with the strategic instinct to know which insights actually matter to the C-suite.
  • 5+ years conducting client assessments and requirements gathering - you know the right questions to ask, and you listen for what\'s not being said.
  • 2+ years applying Responsible AI principles in live engagements - you build trust into your work, not as an afterthought, but as a differentiator.
  • 5+ years of leading workstreams end-to-end across complex, multi-stakeholder environments - you\'re the person others look to when deadlines matter and the pressure is real.
  • 5+ years of large-scale global delivery - you\'ve navigated time zones, cultures, and matrix organizations, and you know what it takes to keep distributed teams aligned.
  • 5+ years working directly with corporate and/or business unit Finance processes, functions, and systems - you can speak the language fluently, not just translate it.
  • Bachelor\'s degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate\'s Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience)


WHAT SETS YOU APART
  • You\'ve led. You build effective teams, foster inclusive environments, and are known for strong client relationships that outlast the engagement.
  • You\'ve originated. You\'re entrepreneurial - you know how to spot an opportunity, shape a deal, and bring it across the finish line.
  • You\'re a clear communicator. Strong written and verbal communication; you can adapt your message for a CFO, a data engineer, and a board room in the same week.
  • You keep learning. You bring innovative thinking to every project and actively seek out new ideas, tools, and approaches.
  • You have a Master\'s degree in a relevant field
