Role Overview :

As the first Lead of the Process Excellence and Knowledge Management Office within Finance, you will be systemically building out the function — defining what rigorous, sustainable process management looks like for a 1,200-person organization spanning core Finance (e.g., Controllers, Tax, FP&A, Capital Management), Risk Management, and Actuarial functions.

Finance's institutional knowledge spans methodologies, standards, policies, job aids, and operational practices across a complex, multi-function organization. As Finance modernizes and integrates AI and business intelligence tools into its operations, the quality, structure, and accessibility of that knowledge is a direct enabler of what those tools can deliver. You will own both the Business Process Management and Knowledge Management practices for Finance, as they both drive towards similar missions: ensuring that Finance’s processes and knowledge is documented, organized, and accessible to the people who need it today, and to the technology that will augment their work tomorrow.

Success in this role is measured by the maturity of the function built, the quality and adoption of Finance's process and knowledge assets, and the degree to which the function's findings drive measurable operational improvements.

Maintain a current and organized inventory of Finance's process diagnostic findings, improvement opportunities, and documentation outputs

Oversee the quality and consistency of process mapping and documentation produced by the BPM team, ensuring outputs meet established standards

Ensure process documentation standards reflect relevant control points, risk ownership, and regulatory requirements across Finance processes

Engage and Advise Stakeholders Translate process diagnostic findings into clear, business-facing improvement recommendations

Advise on process and knowledge management technology opportunities — including AI-powered capabilities such as intelligent search and automated tagging — through collaboration with internal and external partners

Build trusted advisory relationships with Finance and business leaders
