Jonas Software

About The Position

CORA has acquired a U.S. mid-market banking software division from Finastra (Project Mars). The business operates across five geographies on nine active TSA service schedules, with a 12-month separation clock. The Enterprise Transformation Officer leads the complete operational transformation of the Mars business from a Finastra-embedded division to a standalone Jonas/CORA operating unit and owns the TSA exit roadmap, separation clock, and all non-R&D, non-commercial workstreams. This is a direct execution role with full execution authority; is not a coordination function.

Requirements

Proven experience leading an operational carve-out from a large platform provider.
Deep hands-on experience in multi-country payroll, Finance TSA sequencing, and IT logical separation.
Ability to operate across five geographies and manage a complex multi-workstream program simultaneously.
Strong enough presence with Finastra, vendors, and the Mars leadership team to hold timelines without escalating everything.
Comfortable operating in a Jonas/Constellation Software governance model.

Responsibilities

TSA Program: Oversee all nine TSA service schedules, including service delivery, SLA compliance, billing/true-up, and exit criteria.
Chair the TSA Governance Forum (weekly) and represent the Buyer at the Separation Management Office.
Drive all schedules to exit without extension within 12 months.
Professional Services: Implement the CORA/Jonas PS operating model, including Kantata implementation, utilization tracking, rate-card discipline, and change-order enforcement.
Drive PS margin improvement milestones in partnership with VP Client Services.
Hosting Migration: Lead the execution of the hosting migration program (Azure or AWS), aligning with the architectural target state set by the CORA CTO.
Own MSP standup, vendor contracts, and infrastructure timelines, ensuring migration does not create TSA cliff exposure.
“Workstream A” Restructuring Plan: Execute headcount and structural cost reduction across G&A, IT, Finance, Ops, BD and PS.
Track delivery against the Jonas model envelope and report to the Executive Sponsor monthly.
Governance & Reporting: Lead the transformation portion of the Jonas/CORA Executive Check-in (Tue/Thu) and produce milestone reports.
Maintain the transformation risk register and own associated contingency plans.
