Yet you'll find something more: an opportunity to apply your analytic and technical skills to a company renowned for its integrity and focus on developing its employees' careers. This role is part of the Tech Finance Technology Business Management (TBM) Enablement team and plays a key role in influencing technology investment and optimization strategies. By advancing transparency into application cost of ownership, this position enables data-driven decision-making, supports enterprise planning and portfolio prioritization, and helps drive the organization's "Make IT Spend Count" mission. In this role, you will participate in and manage complex financial analysis reports and projects. Using a broad knowledge of financial practices and procedures — with deep expertise in technology cost management — you will provide strategy recommendations to management and technology leaders alike. Responsibilities: Lead the continued development and maturation of Tech Application Cost of Ownership (TCO) reports, ensuring cost data is accurate, complete, and actionable for technology leaders in alignment with prescribed financial reporting procedures. Shape and enhance the services and cost model inputs used in Application TCO, supporting enterprise initiatives that expand its reach across technology planning, analysis, and portfolio management capabilities, including platform transitions and labor strategy impacts. Prepare standardized reports and analyses in accordance with prescribed procedures, with a focus on application cost transparency and technology spend optimization. Ensure the timeliness, accuracy, and completeness of all reports and analyses produced by maintaining full documentation of recurring job duties, data sources, assumptions employed, and amending documentation to reflect any changes in job functions. Apply deep subject matter expertise in application costs to support the TBM team and related processes, including quarterly updates, annual planning cycles, benchmark analysis, market deep-dive meetings, and review sessions with tech service providers. Champion the use of App TCO insights to inform investment decisions, optimize technology spend, and identify opportunities to improve portfolio efficiency. Partner with application owners, architecture teams, and management stakeholders to influence application strategy, portfolio prioritization, and cost optimization outcomes. Perform variance analyses (e.g., plan vs. actual, prior period, and multi-year trends) and identify significant items requiring further investigation; proactively identify and communicate opportunities to reduce technical debt, rationalize application spend, and lower application run-rate costs through actionable insights and recommendations. Identify opportunities for efficiencies and improvements to processes, controls, and technology systems, including collaborating with the Apptio Product Owner, Tech support team, and vendor consultants to define, prioritize, and deliver enhancements to the application TCO reporting suite — improving usability, visualization, and insight into key cost drivers and optimization opportunities. Build and apply a strong understanding of TBM principles, industry best practices, and external benchmarks to help establish best-in‑class technology cost management practices at Liberty Mutual.
