We are seeking a Technical Program Manager to drive execution across a portfolio of enterprise transformation initiatives spanning ERP/EPM modernization, Chart of Accounts redesign, contract lifecycle management, and privacy programs. This is a technically fluent leadership role, partnering closely with engineering, product, and business stakeholders to translate complex domain requirements into structured, delivered outcomes.

• Help the SteerCo think through what to automate, what to rethink, and how to move from legacy processes to cloud-native best practices.

Finance Process & Chart of Accounts (CoA) Transformation

• Lead redesign of planning, forecasting, and reporting processes, reimagining FP&A for a cloud-native environment.
• Enable a modern FP&A operating model that improves cycle times, data accuracy, and decision support.
• Lead and advise on end-to-end Chart of Accounts redesign, a core pillar of the transformation.
• Ensure alignment between CoA design, EPM planning models, reporting hierarchies, and business dimensions.
• Partner with finance stakeholders to align solutions with operational and strategic objectives.

Requirements

• Deep expertise in finance process and operating model transformation, with a strong understanding of how to reimagine finance functions (FP&A, Record-to-Report, planning, and reporting) in a cloud-native environment.
• Strong understanding of the EPM landscape, including how planning, forecasting, and reporting integrate across platforms.
• Experience leading Chart of Accounts redesign and understanding how upstream ERP architecture supports downstream EPM and reporting.
• Experience establishing program governance, operating rhythms, and mobilization plans for large-scale transformations.
• Strong executive communication skills, with the ability to influence and present to C-suite stakeholders.
• Ability to manage ambiguity, competing priorities, and evolving scope in long-term transformation programs.
• Bachelor's degree required; MBA or advanced degree in Finance, Technology, or related field preferred.
• Comfortable engaging with IST time zone on occasion to support global program coordination.
