• Translate finance function requirements into scalable systems and automated workflows to enhance efficiency, control, and insight generation.

• Lead discovery and deployment of process automation solutions, including RPA, workflow tools, and AI/ML applications for functions such as close-to-report, procure-to-pay, and quote-to-cash.

Finance Function Expertise

• Apply deep subject matter expertise in finance and accounting processes including controllership, FP&A, revenue recognition, financial close, audit readiness, and internal controls.

• Advise clients on finance operating model evolution, data governance, and digital enablement strategies aligned to long-term growth and compliance.

• Leverage understanding of key finance applications (e.g., BlackLine, OneStream, Anaplan, Coupa, Salesforce) to inform system design and automation integration.
  

Practice Leadership & Innovation

• Lead continued buildout of Embark's offering, defining services around ERP strategy, automation enablement, and digital finance architecture.

• Create IP and delivery frameworks for intelligent automation-including opportunity assessment tools, automation playbooks, and ROI models.

• Stay ahead of market trends in AI, RPA, workflow orchestration, and embedded analytics to ensure our offerings remain cutting-edge and outcome-focused.
  

Business Development & Market Growth

• Support proposal development, solution scoping, and client presentations for technology and automation-focused initiatives.

• Develop and maintain strong client relationships to identify new opportunities and support ongoing transformation journeys.

• Leverage your personal and professional network to generate leads and drive new business aligned to our CFO transformation practice.

• Represent the firm in the marketplace through participation in conferences, webinars, and thought leadership initiatives.
  

People Development & Coaching

• Serve as a people leader and culture carrier, mentoring consultants and managers across career development, delivery excellence, and client relationships.

• Foster a collaborative, inclusive, and feedback-driven team environment that emphasizes innovation, ownership, and continuous improvement.

• Lead internal training sessions on finance transformation, automation strategy, and systems integration to build team capability.

To be a good fit for this role you will have:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, MIS, or related field.

• 10+ years of progressive experience in management consulting (Big 4 or similar) or a transformation role within a finance organization.

• Demonstrated experience leading complex transformation projects across ERP strategy, systems integration, or business process optimization.

• Working knowledge of automation tools and frameworks (e.g., UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Power Automate, Alteryx) and how to apply them within finance functions.
