• Create executive reporting and actionable insights that support investment, planning, and prioritization decisions.

Advance TBM & Apptio

• Advance Manulife's TBM practices by establishing scalable governance, cost models, and ways of working across Technology and Finance.
• Serve as a business owner for Apptio capabilities, helping define and deliver a roadmap aligned with business and technology priorities.
• Expand Apptio use cases across areas such as application Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), labour and vendor costs, cloud and AI cost management, business service costing, financial planning, and forecasting.
• Improve the integration and automation of financial, operational, and consumption data.
• Partner with Finance and Technology teams to strengthen planning, forecasting, allocation, showback, and chargeback practices.
• Support business cases, investment analysis, and value-realization initiatives.

Enable FinOps

• Partner with engineering, platform, and optimization teams to make technology cost insights actionable and relevant to their workflows.
• Support cloud, AI, and platform FinOps initiatives through allocation models, forecasting, consumption analytics, and reporting.
• Develop practical KPIs and scorecards that help technology teams understand and manage the financial impact of their decisions.
• Enable optimization through trusted data and insights while partnering with teams accountable for executing savings and efficiency opportunities.

Influence Decisions & Adoption

• Build strong partnerships across Technology, Finance, Procurement, Architecture, Platform Engineering, and business teams.
• Lead cross-functional initiatives that improve technology cost transparency, planning, and financial decision-making.
• Translate complex technology and financial data into clear insights and recommendations for senior leaders.
• Champion the practical adoption of TBM and FinOps principles across the organization.

Required Qualifications:

• Significant experience in Technology Business Management, IT Finance, FinOps, Technology Planning, Technology Strategy, or a related discipline, typically gained through 7+ years of relevant work.
• Experience implementing, operating, or maturing TBM, technology cost management, or FinOps capabilities in a complex organization.
• Strong understanding of technology cost structures, allocation methodologies, consumption models, and financial management practices.
• Experience working with Apptio or comparable technology cost-management platforms and methodologies.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to turn complex financial and operational data into practical business insights.
