Position Overview

We are seeking a Manager / Sr. Manager to accelerate the execution and scaling of AI and automation across Finance. This role is responsible for delivering measurable business outcomes within defined Finance processes by redesigning workflows and deploying AI-enabled solutions.

This role blends Finance process knowledge with strong AI and data fluency. It includes direct engagement with the CFO on priority requests and deliverables and drives implementation of generative AI and agentic AI solutions using a human-in-the-loop approach to ensure control and auditability.

This role will serve as a driver for implementing new AI and automation solutions within Finance, focused on turning identified opportunities into production-ready solutions that improve efficiency, strengthen controls, and enhance decision-making.

This is a hands-on execution role, acting as a single-threaded owner for selected Finance transformation areas.

The role partners closely with Controllers, FP&A, IT, and Data teams, and serves as a bridge between business needs and technical implementation.

4. Lead Execution from Concept to Production

•             Take solutions from concept and pilot through full production deployment

•             Execute proof-of-value pilots using real data and targeted scope

•             Apply a human-in-the-loop approach: AI performs first-pass analysis and automation, with Finance providing oversight, validation, and exception handling

•             Assess results and determine whether to scale solutions or discontinue low-impact initiatives

5. Translate Business Needs into Solutions
