About The Position

The Corporate Vice President, NEXUS Technology provides Technology leadership for NEXUS, the common cross-EPP intelligent experience that brings together capabilities, information and insights from across Enterprise Plan to Perform. The leader is accountable for shaping and delivering the Technology capabilities that enable executives, Finance leaders and practitioners to understand performance, explore drivers and scenarios, interact with AI-enabled intelligence and take action through a coherent experience. The role is accountable for the end-to-end Technology outcome for NEXUS, spanning application experience, orchestration, integration, engineering and delivery, and the effective incorporation of data, analytics, AI, architecture, controls and enterprise capabilities. This is broader than an application development or program management role. The leader is expected to combine business understanding, systems thinking, technology and engineering judgment, and transformation leadership; challenge current-state constraints. The leader ensures NEXUS evolves as a coherent capability that integrates effectively with the broader EPP ecosystem and enterprise Technology landscape.

Requirements

10+ years of progressively responsible experience in technology, software engineering, solution delivery, digital transformation, or related disciplines, including significant leadership responsibility in complex enterprise environments.
Proven experience owning end-to-end technology capabilities or major transformation domains from strategy through architecture, engineering, implementation, and measurable outcomes.
Demonstrated success operating in federated or matrixed enterprises and influencing senior business and technology stakeholders across organizational boundaries.
Broad technology and engineering background spanning modern application development, APIs and integration, data and analytics, cloud platforms, enterprise architecture, automation, and emerging technologies.
Strong understanding of generative AI, agentic technologies, and AI-assisted engineering and their practical application to enterprise workflows and software delivery.
Experience leading multidisciplinary technology teams and managing strategic partners, contractors, and federated resources.
Experience operating within enterprise Risk, Security, Compliance, Audit, and control environments.
Strong analytical, communication, prioritization, and executive-influence capabilities.
Cross-Workstream Technology Leadership – Leads an integrated Technology capability that brings together experiences and capabilities owned across multiple enterprise workstreams.
Technology & Engineering Judgment - Evaluates solution approaches, architecture and data implications, engineering tradeoffs, and production risks.
Systems Thinking - Understands interactions across process, applications, data, analytics, architecture, controls, and operating models.
AI-Enabled Transformation - Identifies where AI and agentic capabilities can materially change workflows, decisions, and delivery economics.
Executive Communication & Influence - Creates clarity, drives decisions, and influences senior stakeholders across organizational boundaries.
Strategic Planning & Execution - Converts future-state ambition into prioritized roadmaps, investments, sequencing, and executable outcomes.
Enterprise Delivery Discipline - Applies SDLC, Agile and Lean principles pragmatically with strong dependency, release, and production-readiness management.
Talent & Partner Leadership - Builds strong teams and integrates internal, federated, and external engineering capacity around common outcomes.
People Management – Develops and empowers talent through clear expectations, actionable feedback, effective coaching, and accountability, while fostering an inclusive, high-performing team environment.

Nice To Haves

Experience leading complex digital products, enterprise decision-support platforms, analytics experiences, AI-enabled applications, or cross-domain technology products.
Strong experience with agentic/conversational experiences, modern application architecture, APIs, orchestration, analytics, and AI-enabled user experiences.
Experience designing products for multiple personas and integrating capabilities owned by multiple enterprise domains.

Responsibilities

Lead the end-to-end NEXUS Technology strategy, roadmap, engineering and delivery across application experience, orchestration, integration, analytics, AI and agentic capabilities.
Ensure NEXUS evolves beyond a dashboard or presentation layer into an intelligent decision-support experience that proactively surfaces insights, explains drivers, supports exploration and scenarios, and enables action.
Lead NEXUS outcome teams spanning executive and practitioner experiences, conversational and agentic interaction, proactive insights, cross-domain workflows, and reusable experience capabilities.
Integrate deterministic metrics and analytics with agentic retrieval, reasoning, explanation, and workflow orchestration using appropriate enterprise controls and traceability.
Establish persona-aware experiences that provide appropriate depth and interaction for executives, Finance leaders, FP&A practitioners, and business users without fragmenting the underlying product.
Own the technical integration of capabilities supplied by Expense, Planning & Projections, Performance Technology, Financial Modeling, and shared enterprise services.
Own the target-state technology strategy and roadmap for the domain, including application, integration, data, analytics, AI, automation, and engineering implications.
Drive pragmatic use of rapid prototyping, specification-driven development, AI-assisted engineering, automated testing, and continuous business validation.
Promote systems thinking so solution decisions account for upstream and downstream impacts across workflows, data, architecture, security, controls, and operations.
Identify where generative AI and agentic capabilities can materially reimagine workflows, analysis, decision support, and execution rather than simply automate existing steps.
Maintain strong standards for engineering quality, scalability, resiliency, responsible AI, observability, production readiness, and technical sustainability.
Partner with Performance Management and the relevant Technology teams to integrate underlying performance capabilities, metrics and analytics into the common NEXUS experience.
Partner with EPP Workstream Technology Leads to integrate workstream capabilities into NEXUS without duplicating workstream ownership.
Partner with Solution Engineering & Architecture and Data Architecture & Engineering to establish reusable application, agent, integration and data patterns, including semantics, provenance, traceability and deterministic versus agentic access patterns.
Partner with Business Discovery & Solution Strategy leaders to translate future-state business intent into executable technology capabilities and roadmaps.
Lead multidisciplinary outcome teams and coordinate NYL engineers, forward deployed engineers, federated resources, domain SMEs, and strategic partner engineers.
Build trusted relationships with senior Finance, business, and Technology stakeholders and create transparency around priorities, tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, and outcomes.
Shape NEXUS Technology priorities and sequencing, and work with Integrated Delivery to identify resource, capacity and investment needs based on business value, dependencies, risk and delivery readiness.
Coordinate strategic Technology and engineering partners as part of the integrated NEXUS team, with clear expectations for quality, outcomes and knowledge transfer.
Establish transparent measures of delivery health, adoption, quality, and value realization and use them to drive decisions and accountability.
Ensure security, privacy, controls, auditability, and operational readiness are incorporated from inception through production.
Build and develop high-performing Technology teams with strong engineering and domain capabilities.
Lead effectively through direct and matrixed relationships across Business and Technology teams.
Foster a culture of collaboration, engineering discipline, innovation, accountability and continuous improvement.
