Partnering directly with executive leadership, Corporate Development, and business unit leaders, you will bring rigorous financial discipline to complex, high-stakes decisions. This role demands both the analytical depth to model multi-dimensional transactions and the leadership presence to drive alignment across a matrixed global organization. Success is measured by transaction quality, integration outcomes, and the lasting financial capabilities you build.

Finance Transformation
  • Lead enterprise finance transformation initiatives, including planning process redesign, financial systems modernization, and analytics capability building
  • Define the future-state operating model for FP&A, including data governance, KPI frameworks, and reporting standardization
  • Drive adoption of advanced planning tools, automation, and AI-enabled analytics to improve forecast accuracy and cycle time
  • Establish and enforce financial governance standards across business units to ensure consistency and control
  • Identify and eliminate inefficiencies in planning, reporting, and close processes, delivering measurable productivity improvements


Strategic Partnership & Leadership
  • Serve as a trusted financial advisor to executive and business unit leaders on capital allocation, investment prioritization, and strategic trade-offs
  • Translate complex financial analysis into clear, compelling narratives for board, investor, and executive audiences
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing team of FP&A professionals, fostering a culture of analytical rigor and continuous improvement
  • Represent FP&A in cross-functional steering committees and transformation governance forums


Required Qualifications

  • Expertise in M&A financial modeling, transaction structuring, and integration finance
  • Demonstrated track record leading or significantly contributing to finance transformation programs in large, complex organizations
  • Deep knowledge of P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and valuation mechanics
  • Experience partnering with Corporate Development, Investment Banking, or Private Equity in a deal context
  • Proficiency with enterprise financial planning systems (e.g., Anaplan, Adaptive, Hyperion) and data visualization tools
  • Exceptional executive communication skills with the ability to synthesize complexity into clear strategic insights
  • Proven ability to lead and develop high-performing teams in matrixed, fast-paced environments
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a skills-based equivalent


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in fintech, payments, financial services technology, or similarly regulated environments
