Position Summary

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role at the center of Corporate Finance. Reporting directly to the Vice President, Strategic Finance, you will serve as the key support partner across the strategic finance and finance transformation agenda - driving special projects, strategic workstreams, Board of Directors deliverables, and executive support for the CFO and CAO.

You will operate as a trusted right hand to the VP: framing ambiguous problems, building the analysis and models that inform enterprise decisions, and partnering across Corporate Development, Investor Relations, Treasury, and the operating companies. You will also help lead our AI and data agenda - modernizing finance infrastructure, incorporating AI, tooling, and ways of driving growth and scaling operations.

The ideal candidate combines rigorous financial and analytical horsepower with executive presence, intellectual curiosity, and a bias for action. You are equally comfortable building a long-term model from scratch, synthesizing a Board-ready narrative, and driving ad-hoc special projects.

• Provide direct CFO and CAO support on priority initiatives, updates, and enterprise decisions requiring finance leadership input.
• Translate complex analysis into clear, executive-ready communication that drives alignment and action.

Finance Transformation, AI & Data

• Support the modernization of finance infrastructure and tooling - partnering with finance, technology, and data teams to improve data quality, automation, and self-service analytics.
• Champion new ways of working that increase speed, accuracy, and insight across planning, reporting, and analysis.

Business Support and Ad-Hoc Analysis

• Executive communication - proven ability to build and deliver Board-level and C-suite-ready materials.
