VP, Finance & Transformation

Finance Executive

We are seeking an exceptional finance executive to help shape the future of our global Finance organization.

Reporting directly to the CFO, this role will serve as a strategic partner to the CFO and Finance leadership team, with a mandate to transform how Finance operates through AI, automation, advanced analytics, technology, process redesign and new organizational models.

This executive will help build a Finance organization designed for the future—one that increasingly automates transactional work, delivers predictive and actionable business insights, leverages AI-enabled tools and products, and directs more Finance capacity toward improving enterprise decision-making.

The role will initially operate with a lean structure and significant influence across Finance rather than a large dedicated team. The successful candidate must therefore be comfortable moving between strategy and hands-on execution, personally driving transformation initiatives while building alignment across Finance, IT, Data, AI and the business.

This is not simply a Finance technology or transformation position. The successful candidate will be a highly credible finance executive with the business judgment, leadership potential and breadth to grow into increasingly significant responsibilities across the CFO agenda over time.

• Help evolve Finance from traditional functional and task-based ways of working toward a more agile, capability-oriented operating model.
• Determine where work should be performed by people, AI, automation or combinations of each.

• Develop an approach for incorporating AI agents, automation and advanced analytics into Finance operations and decision support.
• Partner with technology and data teams to strengthen Finance's data, systems, tools and AI infrastructure.
• Establish appropriate governance, controls and human accountability for AI-enabled Finance processes.
• Build organizational capability and confidence to continuously adopt new technologies as they emerge.

• Help shift Finance from primarily reporting historical performance toward providing forward-looking, predictive and actionable insights.
• Advance the use of enterprise modeling, scenario analysis, simulation and advanced analytics to improve business decisions.
• Develop scalable tools and analytical products that enable business leaders to better understand performance drivers, tradeoffs and potential outcomes.
• Work with FP&A and business Finance leaders to improve the speed and quality of enterprise decision support.
• Identify opportunities to make financial insights increasingly self-service and technology enabled.

• Identify opportunities to automate and simplify high-volume, repetitive and transactional Finance activities.
• Help redesign Finance workflows around automation and AI-enabled execution.
• Reduce manual reconciliations, reporting, data manipulation and other low-value activities.
• Partner with Finance functional leaders to improve scalability while maintaining strong financial controls and operational discipline.
• Establish mechanisms for continuously maintaining and improving automated Finance processes.

• Define the capabilities Finance will need across technology, data, AI, automation and process engineering.
• Partner with IT, Data and AI organizations to build and maintain Finance technology capabilities.
• Evaluate where Finance should develop dedicated expertise in areas such as AI agents, workflow engineering, data engineering, modeling and finance technology.
• Promote a tools-first approach in which Finance increasingly delivers services through scalable technology rather than manual processes.
• Help establish ownership models that ensure Finance tools and capabilities continue to evolve after initial implementation.
