• Develop and maintain integrated program plans, milestones, dependencies, and critical path activities.
• Manage risks, issues, assumptions, and dependencies across functional teams.
• Coordinate internal resources, consultants, and third-party vendors.
• Assess existing public-company close processes, controls, and reporting requirements.
• Design and implement a new private-company close calendar and operating model.
• Optimize monthly, quarterly, and annual close activities to reduce cycle times and improve efficiency.
• Identify opportunities for simplification and elimination of activities driven solely by public-company requirements.
• Define ownership, SLAs, and accountability across finance functions.
• Redesign management reporting frameworks for a private-equity/private-company environment.
• Align reporting packages with executive leadership, Board, lenders, and investor requirements.
• Standardize KPI definitions, reporting templates, and data governance processes.
• Improve visibility into business performance through streamlined reporting and dashboard capabilities.
• Lead the transition from SEC-focused external reporting to private-company and sponsor reporting requirements.
• Partner with Finance and IT leaders to identify process improvements and automation opportunities.
• Assess impacts on ERP, consolidation, planning, and reporting systems.
• Coordinate implementation of technology enhancements supporting the new reporting and close model.
• Ensure data integrity and consistency throughout the transformation.
• Partner closely with the CFO, Controller, Chief Accounting Officer, FP&A leadership, and Transformation Office.
• Facilitate workshops with business and finance stakeholders to define future-state processes.
• Drive alignment across departments regarding timeline expectations and dependencies.
• Present progress updates, risks, and recommendations to executive leadership.
• Develop executive-level dashboards and status reporting.
• Track budget, resource utilization, milestone achievement, and benefits realization.
• Provide timely and actionable reporting to steering committees and sponsors.
• Monitor program performance and ensure delivery against objectives.
• Support organizational readiness for new close and reporting processes.
• Develop communication plans, training materials, and transition strategies.
• Drive adoption of new procedures, controls, and governance mechanisms.
• Manage stakeholder engagement throughout the transformation lifecycle.

Required Qualifications:

• 8+ years of program management, finance transformation, or large-scale business transformation experience.
• Experience leading finance transformation initiatives within complex organizations.
• Demonstrated experience redesigning financial close and reporting processes.
• Strong understanding of accounting, financial reporting, FP&A, and finance operations.
• Experience working directly with CFOs, Controllers, and executive leadership teams.
• Proven success managing cross-functional transformation programs exceeding $5M in budget or enterprise-wide scope.

Preferred Experience:

• Direct experience supporting a transition from public-company to private-company ownership.
