This role solves complex financial management challenges by bridging the gap between IT engineering operations and enterprise financial planning.

• Evaluate project investments using total-cost-of-ownership analyses and strategic financial presentations to guide leadership decision-making
• Build numerical frameworks and KPI scorecards that accurately benchmark IT cost-efficiency and operational performance over time
• Leverage AI tools and automated financial modeling to continuously optimize forecasting cycle times and surface cost-saving opportunities
• Reconcile vendor accounts, oversee multi-year commitment lifecycles, and provide predictive modeling to reduce overall technology financial risk

Core Skills and Competencies (What you’ll bring):

• Advanced expertise in enterprise financial planning, GAAP accrual accounting, and complex financial modeling using Excel and modern ITFM/TBM tooling
• Proven success managing technology cost drivers, capital versus operating expense treatments, and multi-year vendor contract lifecycles
• Strong analytical rigor, variance analysis, and problem-solving abilities to synthesize ambiguous technical data into concrete financial strategies
• Outstanding cross-functional communication and relationship-building skills to bridge perspectives between IT technical leaders and executive management
• High adaptability in fast-paced environments with a continuous focus on process improvement, data integrity, and dashboard refinement
• Practical AI application skills to streamline financial data processing, report generation, and predictive variance analysis

Additional Qualifications:

• Active CPA or CMA professional certification
• Hands-on experience using Apptio ITFM, ServiceNow ITFM, or equivalent IT financial platforms

Minimum Requirements:

• Minimum Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field
• Minimum Experience: 4+ years of progressive experience in financial analysis or accounting, preferably within the technology or telecom sectors
• Required Technical Skills: Must have at least 4 years of experience with:
