We are seeking an exceptional finance executive to help shape the future of our global Finance organization.

Reporting directly to the CFO, this role will serve as a strategic partner to the CFO and Finance leadership team, with a mandate to transform how Finance operates through AI, automation, advanced analytics, technology, process redesign and new organizational models.

This executive will help build a Finance organization designed for the future—one that increasingly automates transactional work, delivers predictive and actionable business insights, leverages AI-enabled tools and products, and directs more Finance capacity toward improving enterprise decision-making.

The role will initially operate with a lean structure and significant influence across Finance rather than a large dedicated team. The successful candidate must therefore be comfortable moving between strategy and hands-on execution, personally driving transformation initiatives while building alignment across Finance, IT, Data, AI and the business.

This is not simply a Finance technology or transformation position. The successful candidate will be a highly credible finance executive with the business judgment, leadership potential and breadth to grow into increasingly significant responsibilities across the CFO agenda over time.

• Partner with the CFO to define and execute a multi-year roadmap for the Finance organization of the future.

• Assess Finance’s current capabilities, processes, organizational structure and technology and identify the highest-value opportunities for transformation.

• Help evolve Finance from traditional functional and task-based ways of working toward a more agile, capability-oriented operating model.

• Determine where work should be performed by people, AI, automation or combinations of each.

• Simplify organizational processes and decision-making where unnecessary complexity or layers slow execution.

• Establish clear measures of success for Finance transformation, including productivity, decision speed, forecast accuracy, insight quality and business impact.

• Identify and scale high-value applications of AI and automation across Finance.

• Redesign workflows rather than simply automating existing manual processes.

• Develop an approach for incorporating AI agents, automation and advanced analytics into Finance operations and decision support.

• Partner with technology and data teams to strengthen Finance’s data, systems, tools and AI infrastructure.

• Establish appropriate governance, controls and human accountability for AI-enabled Finance processes.

• Build organizational capability and confidence to continuously adopt new technologies as they emerge.

• Help shift Finance from primarily reporting historical performance toward providing forward-looking, predictive and actionable insights.

• Advance the use of enterprise modeling, scenario analysis, simulation and advanced analytics to improve business decisions.

• Develop scalable tools and analytical products that enable business leaders to better understand performance drivers, tradeoffs and potential outcomes.

• Work with FP&A and business Finance leaders to improve the speed and quality of enterprise decision support.

• Identify opportunities to make financial insights increasingly self-service and technology enabled.

• Identify opportunities to automate and simplify high-volume, repetitive and transactional Finance activities.

• Help redesign Finance workflows around automation and AI-enabled execution.

• Reduce manual reconciliations, reporting, data manipulation and other low-value activities.

• Partner with Finance functional leaders to improve scalability while maintaining strong financial controls and operational discipline.

• Establish mechanisms for continuously maintaining and improving automated Finance processes.

• Define the capabilities Finance will need across technology, data, AI, automation and process engineering.

• Partner with IT, Data and AI organizations to build and maintain Finance technology capabilities.

• Evaluate where Finance should develop dedicated expertise in areas such as AI agents, workflow engineering, data engineering, modeling and finance technology.

• Promote a tools-first approach in which Finance increasingly delivers services through scalable technology rather than manual processes.

• Help establish ownership models that ensure Finance tools and capabilities continue to evolve after initial implementation.

• Serve as a strategic thought partner to the CFO on enterprise performance, transformation and major business decisions.

• Translate company strategy into Finance capabilities, priorities and transformation initiatives.

• Lead or support high-priority cross-functional initiatives requiring strong financial, strategic and transformation leadership.

• Establish disciplined governance, prioritization and accountability for major Finance transformation initiatives.

• Help Finance play a broader role in improving the quality and speed of enterprise decision-making.

• Assess how Finance roles and capabilities will need to evolve as automation and AI change the nature of Finance work.

• Increase the emphasis on finance professionals with deep financial, analytical, technology and problem-solving capabilities.

• Help create a flatter, more agile organization that can rapidly assemble expertise around complex business problems.

• Develop new career experiences and capabilities that prepare Finance talent for increasingly technology-enabled work.

• Partner with Finance leadership and HR to build the talent strategy required to support the future Finance organization.

• 15+ years of progressive finance leadership experience within large, complex global organizations.

• Significant experience in FP&A, controllership, business finance, finance transformation or similarly broad finance leadership roles.

• Strong financial judgment and credibility with CFOs, CEOs and senior operating executives.

• Solid understanding of the balance of business needs and compliance requirements.

• Demonstrated success leading significant transformation across Finance or other complex enterprise functions.

• Deep understanding of how AI, automation, data and emerging technologies can reshape Finance work and operating models.

• Ability to translate technology opportunities into measurable financial and business outcomes.

• Demonstrated ability to lead through influence without relying on a large direct organization.

• Strong understanding of public-company financial requirements, controls and operating disciplines.

• Ability to move fluidly between enterprise strategy, organizational design and hands-on execution.

• Exceptional
