About the role

The IT Finance Analyst is responsible for developing a strong relationship between finance and the operations and management of the Regional IT Business Partnership, acting as a bridge between functional teams to align financial objectives with operational priorities, through open, honest and actionable communications, proactive provision of in-business-context guidance, and supporting the business to deliver on their strategic intent — acting as an independent voice within operations, constructively challenging assumptions and decisions to ensure financial discipline and value creation.

• Lead financial performance management for assigned IT business units, portfolios, and strategic initiatives, including P&L oversight where applicable.
• Analyze and challenge monthly business performance, including operating expenses, capital investments, project portfolios, service consumption, and key performance indicators, ensuring variances are understood and addressed.
• Develop and monitor financial and operational metrics to support revenue growth, cost efficiency, operational income, and cash flow objectives.
• Lead annual budgeting, quarterly forecasting, and long-range planning processes for assigned IT business areas, ensuring forecasts support effective business decisions and accountability for financial commitments.
• Support portfolio governance reviews, monitor project financial performance, and provide ad hoc analysis to support operational and strategic initiatives.
• Identify and assess financial risks and opportunities through analysis of spending trends, demand forecasts, project pipelines, and investment plans.
• Prepare and present business results to leadership, highlighting key insights, risks, opportunities, and recommended actions.
• Promote financial literacy and business acumen across the organization through guidance, coaching, and knowledge sharing.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related discipline.

• 7–10 years of progressive finance experience, including at least 3 years in a business partnering, FP&A, or financial management role.
• Strong understanding of financial planning and analysis, budgeting, forecasting, P&L management, business case development, and technology cost structures.
• Experience supporting IT organizations, technology portfolios, software licensing, cloud consumption, and capital investment planning is highly desirable.
• Proven ability to translate complex financial and operational data into clear, actionable insights and executive-level recommendations.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and build credibility across all levels of the organization.
• Demonstrated experience partnering with senior leadership, operational teams, and cross-functional stakeholders in a matrixed environment.
