The leader translates SpinCo’s strategy into how finance actually runs at the transactional level: standardized global processes, a clean and AI-ready data model, automated end-to-end value streams, and a GBS delivery model built on end-to-end value streams and capability-as-a-service. This is a rare blend of C-suite strategic vision and deep operational fluency — someone equally comfortable framing a board narrative on the target operating model and working in the mechanics of Record-to-Report, Procure-to-Pay, and Order-to-Cash. The role demands exceptional agility to deploy systems and new processes on an aggressive spin timeline while designing for the future finance function.Finance Operating Model & StrategyOwn the design and execution of SpinCo’s future-state finance operating model spanning process, people, systems, data, and GBS delivery.Define what “best-in-class” transactional finance looks like for a standalone public company and build the roadmap to get there.Partner with the SVP Corporate Finance, FP&A, Controllership, Treasury, Tax, and IT to align technology investments with corporate finance objectives.
