About The Position

As the Sr. Manager, AI Enablement, Enterprise FP&A, you will serve as the subject matter expert who turns artificial intelligence capability into working solutions for the Enterprise FP&A organization.

• Seven or more years of progressive experience in FP&A, finance transformation, finance systems, or analytics, with demonstrated depth in leveraging technology (specifically AI) to improve processes; demonstrated capability is weighted more heavily than years of experience
• Strong working knowledge of core FP&A processes, including budgeting, forecasting, long range planning, and management reporting
• Hands-on experience building with generative AI, including prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented approaches, and agentic or automated workflows; practical fluency matters more than formal credentials
• Demonstrated track record taking an AI or automation use case from concept through deployment and measurable adoption in a business function; candidates should be prepared to share examples of solutions they have built
• Proven project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams to committed timelines
• Proficiency with data and analytics tools such as Excel, SQL, Power BI, or Python, and familiarity with enterprise planning systems such as SAP, Oracle, OneStream, or Anaplan
• Demonstrated ability to teach, coach, and build capability in others, with a genuine interest in making the team better
• Excellent oral and written communication skills, with the ability to explain AI concepts and limitations clearly to finance and executive audiences
• Ability to influence and drive change without formal authority across a global, cross-functional environment
• Intellectual curiosity, sound judgment about where AI is and is not the right answer, and comfort operating in a rapidly evolving space
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally up to 20% of time
