We are seeking a senior technology leader to own and evolve the firm's Finance Technology platform‑spanning ERP Accounting/GL, FP&A, integrations with firm-wide systems, and the supporting data and analytics stack. This is a senior role accountable for both Change (strategy, architecture, modernization, transformation delivery) and Run (reliability, controls, service excellence) of mission‑critical finance capabilities that underpin accounting close, planning/forecasting, profitability and strategic analysis, regulatory reporting, and data‑driven decision‑making across the enterprise.

This role directly manages a global team (including offshore/nearshore partners) and will be the primary technology partner to Finance leadership (CFO organization: Controller, FP&A, Treasury, Tax, Procurement, and Finance Operations).

• Set the vision and roadmap: for Finance Technology (ERP/GL, subledgers, FP&A/EPM, reconciliations, consolidations, management reporting), grounded in asset‑management finance needs (multi‑GAAP/IFRS, multi‑entity, multi‑currency, fee accruals, product P&L, allocations).
• Establish architecture principles:
  
  -e.g., domain‑driven design, API‑first, event‑driven, data‑by‑design, zero‑trust‑with a vendor‑agnostic stance; evaluate SAP, Oracle, and leading FP&A/EPM platforms on fit‑for‑purpose, TCO, and time‑to‑value rather than brand preference.
• Own platform governance: standards, reference architectures, non‑functional requirements (availability, performance, resiliency), and technical debt management.

• Modernize ERP/GL and FP&A/EPM: e.g., S/4
  
  HANA or Oracle Fusion roadmaps; planning/forecasting tooling; scenario modeling; driver‑based plans; close acceleration.
• Lead data & analytics for Finance: own the finance data model (Chart of Accounts, legal entity hierarchy, cost centers), semantic layers, and self‑service analytics for CFO, FP&A, and Business Unit finance partners.
• Embed AI/ML/RPA thoughtfully: journal anomaly detection, automated reconciliations, close‑task copilots, forecast augmentation, narrative generation-balancing innovation with control, auditability, and data privacy.
• Deliver with agility: product operating model, one‑week sprints when feasible, small stories, iterative releases, and measurable business outcomes.
