Job Summary

As we continue the transformation of our financial systems across our 27+ distinct business sectors, we are looking for a Manager of Finance Solutions to partner with our leadership team. This role is critical in filling the day-to-day solution management needs, allowing for broader strategic growth within the department.

Responsibilities

  • Solution Management & Scope Definition
    • Fit/Gap Assessment: Assist in the discovery and assessment phase for new sectors joining the shared financial platform.
    • Scope & Timeline: Work with technical teams to determine feasibility, then present clear scope, timelines, and "what it looks like" sector leadership, controllers and senior leadership, as needed.
    • Requirements Gathering: Move beyond standard questionnaires ("Provoke" the business) to uncover true pain points, operational inefficiencies, and specific business needs.
  • Agile Portfolio Leadership
    • Backlog Management: Own the strategy and prioritization at the "Epic" level. You are not expected to build the configuration, but you must define what gets built and when.
    • Strategy vs. Execution: Translate business needs into a clear backlog for the technical delivery teams.
  • Financial Integrity & Controls
    • Accounting Logic: Leverage your background in Accounting/Audit to ensure the solution is financially sound.
    • Controls & Compliance: Maintain a "pulse" on internal controls, identifying potential violations or accounting risks inherent in a publicly traded company environment.
  • Stakeholder Communication
    • Translation: Translate complex technical concepts into plain language for the business and translate business requirements into technical specifications for the system architects.
    • Executive Presence: Comfortably present impact, outcomes, and solutions to senior and sector leaders, as needed.

Qualifications

  • Accounting Foundation: A strong background in Accounting (General Ledger, Audit, or Accounting Projects) is required. You must understand the debits/credits and financial implications of system changes.
  • Project/Product Management: Experience managing the lifecycle of finance projects, specifically in bridging the gap between operational business units and technical teams.
  • Complex Environments: Experience working in large, matrixed organizations with multiple subsidiaries or diverse business lines.

Preferred Skills (The "Value Add"):

  • ERP Implementation: Experience bringing acquired entities or new business units onto a central financial system.
  • SAP S/4HANA Exposure: While this is not a technical configuration role, familiarity with SAP S/4HANA or similar Tier-1 ERPs is a significant plus to shorten the learning curve.
