Job description

Director, Finance Transformation & Business Intelligence

About KiddeFenwal

At KiddeFenwal, our purpose is to protect lives, assets, and critical operations through reliable, innovative safety and control solutions. We are committed to engineering excellence, operational integrity, and continuous improvement in everything we do.

As we continue to grow in a complex, data-driven manufacturing environment, we are strengthening our Finance organization to improve speed, accuracy, and insight. This role is central to that effort.

Position Summary

The Director, Finance Transformation & Business Intelligence will lead the modernization of Finance by driving process transformation, automation, business intelligence, and data-driven decision-making. This role partners closely with the Global Controller, Director of FP&A, IT, Operations, and executive leadership to improve processes, enhance reporting, optimize financial systems, and build scalable capabilities that support business growth.

Unlike traditional Accounting or FP&A leadership roles, this position focuses on how Finance operates—improving systems, processes, reporting, analytics, and organizational effectiveness—while enabling finance leaders to focus on strategic business support and stewardship.

Key Responsibilities

Finance Transformation

  • Lead redesign and improvement of finance and accounting processes to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and scalability.
  • Develop and execute a multi-year Finance Transformation roadmap.
  • Reduce manual work and spreadsheet dependency through standardization and automation.
  • Establish governance for finance processes, reporting standards, and data definitions.
  • Drive continuous improvement across finance operations.

Reporting & Business Intelligence

  • Enhance management reporting, KPI dashboards, and executive reporting.
  • Define meaningful financial and operational performance metrics with business leaders.
  • Improve reporting quality through BI tools and standardized data sources.
  • Strengthen data governance to ensure accuracy, consistency, and trust in reporting.
  • Deliver insights that support strategic decision-making.

Planning & Performance Management

  • Support improvements to budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning processes.
  • Partner with FP&A to enhance forecasting methods and financial models.
  • Improve visibility into business performance through standardized reporting and KPIs.

Systems, Automation & Technology

  • Identify and implement automation opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce manual effort.
  • Partner with IT to enhance ERP functionality, data integration, and reporting platforms.
  • Support ERP and business intelligence enhancements.
  • Evaluate and recommend finance technology solutions, including AI-enabled tools.

Change Management & Organizational Effectiveness

  • Lead change management for new processes, systems, and operating models.
  • Develop communication, training, and adoption strategies to ensure sustainable change.
  • Build a culture of continuous improvement, accountability, and data-driven decision-making.
  • Mentor finance team members and support capability development.

Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Lead cross-functional initiatives across Finance, IT, Operations, Supply Chain, and Commercial teams.
  • Align stakeholders to improve business processes and enterprise reporting.
  • Influence outcomes across the organization without direct authority.

Qualifications

  • Strong business acumen with ability to translate data into actionable insights.
  • Proven experience leading finance transformation and enterprise improvement initiatives.
  • Experience implementing automation and improving reporting efficiency.
  • Strong analytical, project management, and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent executive communication and influencing skills.
  • Experience driving organizational change and technology adoption.
  • Strong understanding of finance operations, BI, and enterprise systems.

Experience

  • 10–15 years of progressive experience in Finance, FP&A, Finance Transformation, BI, or Financial Systems.
  • Experience leading enterprise finance transformation and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Experience with financial planning, reporting, and analytics solutions.
  • Experience driving finance automation and process improvement.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with Operations, Commercial, IT, and Executive Leadership.
  • Experience with ERP and BI platforms.
  • JD Edwards (JDE) experience strongly preferred.
  • Experience with tools such as Power BI, OneStream, Hyperion, or Anaplan preferred.
  • Manufacturing and private equity-backed experience preferred.

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or related field required.
  • MBA or advanced degree preferred.

Preferred Certifications

  • Lean Six Sigma (Green or Black Belt)
  • PMP certification
  • Prosci or Change Management certification
  • CPA, CMA, or similar finance certification a plus
