Reporting to the Head of Global Finance Analytics (GFA), this role serves as the FP&A AI strategy owner, translating manual intensive financial reporting and analysis activities into practical, scalable capabilities and solutions that improve insight quality, speed of decision‑making, and forecast accuracy. The role operates at the intersection of Business Finance, Enterprise FP&A, Analytics, and Technology, with a strong emphasis on hands‑on delivery, adoption, and change. This leader moves FP&A from periodic reporting to continuous, forward‑looking insight, leveraging Copilot, advanced analytics, and intelligent automation embedded directly into day‑to‑day FP&A workflows.

FP&A AI Strategy & Operating Model

• Own the AI strategy for FP&A, defining the roadmap, priorities, and value targets across planning, forecasting, performance management, and decision support

• Design and continuously evolve the FP&A operating model, ensuring AI‑enabled insights are embedded into standard processes rather than delivered as standalone tools

• Partner with Business Finance leaders to align AI / Analytics use cases to real end-user needs for Business Finance and Business leaders, not technology experimentation

Hands‑On AI & Analytics Enablement

• Lead the hands‑on design, build, and deployment of AI‑enabled FP&A solutions, including Copilot‑driven / agent-based workflows, predictive analytics, scenario modeling, and intelligent automation embedded into core FP&A processes

• Ensure AI solutions are explainable, trusted, and finance‑grade, with appropriate controls and governance

• Harmonize FP&A processes and analytics standards across Business Finance and Enterprise FP&A to reduce fragmentation and duplication

• Ensure consistency and comparability of FP&A metrics, assumptions, and outputs across businesses to enable enterprise‑wide performance views and decision‑making

Decision‑Grade Data & Insight Enablement

• Partner with upstream data domain owners and Technology to connect FP&A data end‑to‑end, improving data quality and consistency to enable a cohesive narrative around business performance and key drivers

• Ensure FP&A analytics and AI solutions are powered by consistent, governed data aligned to financial and operational realities 

• Act as the voice of FP&A in shaping analytics capabilities, without owning underlying data platforms or pipelines

Change Leadership & Adoption

• Act as a visible change leader, challenging legacy processes and accelerating adoption through hands‑on delivery

• Build trust in AI‑enabled insights by demonstrating accuracy, transparency, and business relevance

• Upskill FP&A teams in modern analytics and AI‑augmented ways of working
