We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Transformation Analyst Lead to join our growing Finance Systems Transformation team. This role is ideal for a professional who is passionate about modernizing business functions — optimizing end-to-end finance processes, and enabling data-driven decision-making through technology, automation and analytics. You will lead complex finance transformation initiatives, work with high-performing project teams, partnering closely with IT and finance leaders to deliver measurable business outcomes. You will work in a fast-paced environment translating needs into execution for sustained results. This role will lead workstreams, develop recommendations that shape roadmap and prioritization decisions, and help translate strategic direction into execution-ready work. This role is part of a staged team build strategy that prioritizes execution capacity and governance foundation in early phases, with leadership structure expanding as the function scales. The Transformation Analyst Lead plays a key role in establishing execution discipline, governance processes, and early transformation outcomes.

The duties and responsibilities of this position include, but are not limited to:

o Leading execution of end-to-end finance transformation initiatives, including current-state assessments, target operating model support, and identification of process and technology improvement opportunities, providing structured recommendations on scope, sequencing, dependencies and risks to support roadmap and prioritization decisions

o Evaluating processes across the finance value chain, including FP&A, Record-to-Report, Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay and Close & Consolidation, driving modernization through automation, AI, analytics and systems, ensuring solutions are globally scalable and adoption-ready

o Partnering with Finance, IT, and business stakeholders to ensure alignment, coordination and clear translation of strategic and transformation priorities, translating approved priorities into workstream requirements, plans and execution support

o Leading structured intake, prioritization and decision support processes to ensure initiatives are clearly defined, aligned and governed before execution

o Leveraging automation and AI tools to accelerate analysis, synthesize complex information, and support data-driven decisions, exercising sound judgment in evaluating outputs

o Helping establish and maintain finance data governance standards, ensuring changes to processes and systems maintain financial accuracy, data integrity and consistency across reporting

o Supporting alignment between transformation initiatives and SOX / internal control requirements, including identification of risks and control impacts to financial processes, reporting and data, with appropriate documentation

o Contributing to the development of methodologies, playbooks, tools and reusable assets to support the Finance Transformation function

o Supporting the growth of the team by participating in knowledge sharing, onboarding and continuous improvement efforts,
