This Senior Manager role sits at the center of Technology Finance's next chapter. With Oracle Fusion now live, this is a rare opportunity to reimagine how Technology forecasts, closes, and reports — moving to modern, ERP- and AI-powered ways of working — while also playing a critical role in some of the team's most consequential strategic work:
Long-Term Plan (LTP) development, annual budgeting and business case development, and the executive-level reporting and analysis that shapes how senior Technology and Finance leaders make decisions. You'll lead a talented group of finance professionals who serve as Technology Finance's financial systems and reporting experts, partner closely with the Sr. Director of Technology Finance on strategy and execution, and have real latitude to shape process, tools, and standards — with high visibility to senior Finance and Technology leadership.
