About The Position

The Senior IT Finance Business Partner is a key individual contributor who
serves as the primary finance partner to the Information Technology

accurate financial treatment and disciplined project governance.  This role
partners closely with corporate and functional leaders to drive informed
decision-making through clear, confident communication and actionable financial
