- Help design and implement a Technology Business Management (TBM) framework and taxonomy that connects technology spend to the services, applications, and business outcomes it supports
- Serve as a trusted finance business partner to ET leadership, including the CIO, translating complex financial and operational data into clear insights, recommendations, and investment considerations
- Support software-capitalization processes, including project assessments, amortization forecasting, documentation, and audit readiness, and help simplify this work through AI and automation
- Lead key month-end and quarter-end activities, including accruals, reconciliations, and variance analysis, while proactively identifying and resolving risks
- Build scalable financial models, dashboards, and reporting, and identify opportunities to simplify processes, automate reporting, and strengthen controls as the ET portfolio evolves
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field
- 5+ years of experience in FP&A, finance business partnership, or a related finance role, including experience in IT finance or technology spend management in any industry
- Demonstrated finance business partnering experience, with a track record of influencing decisions and presenting insights to senior leaders
- Strong understanding of forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis, consolidation, month-end close, accruals, reconciliations, and financial controls
- Strong data analytics and financial modeling skills, including advanced Excel, with the ability to build repeatable reporting and turn analysis into actionable recommendations
- Excellent communication skills, sound business judgment, and executive presence, with the ability to work effectively across Finance, Accounting, Engineering, Product, Procurement, and business teams
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience implementing or working with Technology Business Management (TBM), IT cost transparency, or IT financial management frameworks
- Experience managing SaaS, software licensing, or vendor spend, including contract renewals and cost optimization
- IT finance experience in technology, SaaS, financial services, retail, or other cost-disciplined environments; candidates from consulting backgrounds with hands-on financial and data analytics experience will also be considered
- Knowledge of internal-use software capitalization concepts, software development life cycles, capitalization documentation, and amortization timing
