Finance AI Data Strategy Manager

We Are:

Our Finance AI and Data Strategy practitioners work to create and execute an organization's business strategy for Finance AI and Data transformation including: defining a compelling industry & Finance function vision, creating value & ROI models, architecting a client's Finance AI talent strategy, ecosystem partnership approaches, creating scalable operating capabilities, and envisioning best-in-class business/technology architecture & roadmaps. Use scaled agile disciplines to transform a client's business and Finance function by sequencing the delivery of critical data elements, data products and feature functionality.

Why This Role:

This isn't a role where you maintain the status quo. You'll work at the cutting edge of Finance transformation - helping the world's largest organizations reimagine what's possible when AI and data are built into the core of how Finance operates. You'll shape strategy at the C-suite level, build lasting client relationships, and leave engagements knowing you moved something that mattered.

If you want scope, influence, and the chance to define what AI-led Finance looks like for an entire industry, this is it.

Who You Are:

You're a seasoned strategist who lives at the intersection of AI, data, and business transformation. You've spent at least five years turning ambiguous enterprise problems into clear-eyed strategies - and then seeing those strategies through to impact. Consulting sharpened you: you know how to read an organization, earn trust fast, and deliver under pressure on a global stage.

Our Finance AI and Data Strategy practitioners build and execute transformational strategies for how organizations reinvent their Finance function through AI and data. You'll own the full arc - from vision to roadmap to delivery - working across some of the most complex Finance environments in the world.
