Our AI and Data Strategy practitioners focused on Finance Transformation sit at the intersection of Finance functional expertise and applied AI. We are looking for practitioners who don't just advise on AI and data in the abstract - we need people who deeply understand how Finance functions operate, where the friction lives, and how to engineer smarter solutions using AI and data to fundamentally transform Finance processes. This is not a generalist role. Our clients need advisors who can credibly engage with a CFO, understand their FP&A cycle or Controllership challenges, and translate that into a concrete AI-enabled transformation roadmap.

As an AI & Data Strategy Senior Manager focused on CFO & Enterprise Value, you will:

• Lead Finance-specific AI strategy engagements - define a compelling vision for how data and AI can reinvent core Finance functions including FP&A, Controllership, Financial Close, Treasury, and Tax.
• Apply an engineering problem-solving mindset - creatively identify where AI, automation, and data solutions can eliminate friction, reduce manual effort, and generate new insight within Finance processes.
• Conduct Finance AI and Data Assessments - evaluate the maturity of a client's Finance data assets, technology stack, and AI readiness to identify highest-value transformation opportunities.
• Design Finance Process Reinvention - map current Finance processes, identify AI intervention points, and develop future-state process designs that embed intelligence at their core.
• Develop Finance AI Functional Designs - translate Finance process requirements into AI solution designs, working closely with technology and data engineering teams to ensure buildability and fit.
• Build the business case and roadmap - create investment profiles, value models, and sequenced roadmaps to deliver Finance AI transformations with measurable ROI.
• Shape AI Operating Model design - define the people, processes, governance, and technology structures needed to sustain AI-enabled Finance operations.
• Infuse Responsible AI - embed ethical AI principles into Finance AI strategy and solution design, ensuring auditability, explainability, and compliance with Finance regulatory requirements.
• Build trusted client relationships - serve as a credible advisor to CFOs and Finance leadership, combining Finance domain fluency with hands-on AI and data expertise.
• Originate and shape new opportunities - lead go-to-market activities, develop points of view, and drive the full sales cycle for Finance AI & Data engagements.
• Ability to travel up to 80%; travel as needed based on client expectations.
