Job description

Overview

Business Unit CFO, Funds and Capital Markets (FCM)

We are looking for a dynamic and results-oriented Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to lead the financial strategy and optimize the economic performance of our FCM business unit. This is not a traditional CFO role, as CSC's central finance group will retain overall responsibility for accounting, financial reporting, compliance, and other core finance functions. This is a strategic CFO role focused on optimizing FCM's growth and operations while having joint responsibility for the accurate accounting of FCM's financial activities, the accuracy of corporate-level financial reporting, and the development of actionable financial reporting that enables FCM to meet its overall financial objectives.

The Business Unit CFO will report directly to the President of FCM and be a strategic partner to the senior leadership team, ensuring that financial insights drive business transformation, operational excellence, and long-term value creation. This position will operate in a matrixed environment and strongly influence the activities of the central finance teams supporting FCM.

The role requires a strategic leader with an operational mindset who can bridge finance and operations, aligning financial performance with business goals while optimizing processes, technology, and resources - a leader who views finance as a growth engine. The ideal candidate will have extensive senior-level financial experience and a proven track record of working collaboratively across global teams, scaling businesses, identifying operational efficiencies, and improving profitability.

Responsibilities

• Partner with the FCM senior leadership team to set and execute business strategies, focusing on growth, profitability, and operational efficiency.
• Drive the FCM financial performance against budget.
• Optimize revenue and profitability through strategic pricing, performance analysis, process automation, and proactive expense management.
• Drive operational efficiencies and process improvements across all business functions, ensuring financial rigor in decision-making.
• Implement data-driven decision-making frameworks across the organization, using financial insights to guide operational teams, sales, and product development.
• Establish and manage operational KPIs, ensuring alignment between financial performance and business unit goals.
• Partner with the central finance team to ensure FCM's financial reporting is accurate, and the business receives the financial data needed to drive its strategic and operational activities.
• Engage with central finance, business, and technology teams to design and implement quote to cash processes to deliver operational improvements and improved financial metrics.

Key Leadership Competencies

• Strategic Operator - Balances tactical execution with long-term vision.
• Change Agent - Resilient, decisive leader in times of complexity and disruption.
• Data-Driven Innovator - Leverages digital tools and insights for smarter, faster decisions.
• Collaborative Partner - Works across functions to align financial strategy with business goals.
• Trusted Advisor - Builds credibility with the management team, board, and employees alike.

Key Qualifications

• 10-15 years of progressive financial leadership experience.
• Proven ability to drive business strategy, revenue growth, and profitability.
• Clear understanding of the full P&L and how operational activities impact the P&L.
• Exceptional leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to effectively operate and thrive in a matrixed organizational structure.
• Experience in scaling businesses, cost optimization, and operational efficiency.
• Strong analytical background with ability to interpret data and contribute to decisions that drive the business forward.
• Experience with M&A integration in a global organization.
• Strong knowledge of ERP systems, accounting software, and business intelligence tools.
• Experience in designing and developing complex financial analysis models coupled with the ability to draw conclusions on complex data sets.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a bias for action and results.
