Business Development$163k–$434k/yrFull-time

We are looking for a commercially sharp, deeply experienced Finance Practitioner to lead Finance Reinvention for Fortune 500 clients. You will combine domain mastery in F&A with genuine fluency in AI, agentic technologies, and modern ERP ecosystems — driving deals from origination through execution and building lasting CFO-level relationships. This is a senior client-facing role for someone who can sell, shape, and deliver large-scale transformation in equal measure.

Responsibilities

  • Lead F&A sales and transformation — Own the full deal lifecycle from pursuit and origination through shaping, oral presentations, workshops, co-design, and project execution for global enterprise clients.
  • Drive CFO-level relationships — Serve as a trusted advisor to CFOs, CAOs, and Finance leadership, influencing strategy and generating new opportunities through insight and credibility.
  • Design AI-first Finance solutions — Apply agentic AI, intelligent automation, and emerging ERP and ecosystem technologies to reinvent F&A operating models, with clear value outcomes at the centre of every design decision.
  • Shape compelling value propositions — Translate complex transformation programmes into commercially clear narratives that win client CFO confidence and close large-scale managed services deals.
  • Deliver deep domain expertise — Act as a recognised specialist in at least one F&A tower (PTP, OTC, RTR, or FP&A), leading process re-engineering, digital transformation, and AI integration within that domain.
  • Set the thought leadership agenda — Contribute to market-facing points of view on Finance Reinvention, AI in F&A, and the future of the Finance function; elevate the firm's presence at industry forums.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or equivalent; CPA a strong plus
  • 10+ years in large-scale F&A transformation, consulting, or BPO — with a clear sales or revenue component
  • Proven track record leading and closing large Finance consulting or managed services deals
  • Minimum 5 years deep domain experience in PTP, OTC, RTR, or FP&A
  • Demonstrated AI fluency — able to design and articulate AI-first operating models, not just reference AI concepts

Qualifications

  • CPA certified; Big 4 or Tier 1 consulting background
  • Hands-on experience deploying agentic AI, GenAI, or intelligent automation in a Finance context
  • Deep familiarity with leading ERP and F&A platforms (SAP, Oracle, Workday, Coupa, etc.)
  • Industry expertise in Consumer Goods, Industrials, or Financial Services
  • Experience structuring and winning F&A managed services contracts

Travel requirement: up to 30% domestic and international travel may be required.
