Your new job | About your main responsibilities

If you have a tech background and want to focus more on Finance while leading large projects and teams and combine a content-driven role with go-to-market activities, this role is a perfect fit. EY’s Finance Consulting practice is looking for a Senior Manager: Finance Technologies, Data & Platforms.

As multinational organizations navigate massive shifts toward autonomous finance, the limitations of legacy data estates and fragmented systems have become the primary bottleneck for CFOs. True finance transformation, sophisticated FP&A, and AI readiness are only achievable if built upon a rock-solid, unified data foundation.

In this senior leadership role, you will sit at the crucial intersection of creating value (Business), financial performance (Finance), modern financial systems (Technology) and data engineering (Data). You will guide CFOs and enterprise architecture teams through complex initiatives to modernize their finance data models, integrate advanced EPM platforms, and design cloud-enabled, scalable reporting ecosystems that serve as the single source of truth for the enterprise.

This area is a clear strategic growth priority. We are actively investing in expanding this capability, and you will play a key role in shaping and growing the team, building, leading, and making a lasting impact.

Key responsibilities:

• Architectural Leadership: Act as the lead solution architect on high-stakes finance transformation programs, defining how financial systems, data models, and corporate reporting layers connect.
• Strategic CFO Advisory: Advise CFOs, Finance Directors, and CIOs on technology selection, platform rationalization, and the long-term ROI of modernizing their financial data infrastructure.
• Engagement Delivery: Oversee the end-to-end delivery of complex, platform-driven transformation projects, managing multi-disciplinary teams (developers, finance specialists, and data engineers) alongside delivery budgets and timelines.
• Business Development & Market Expansion: Spearhead commercial growth within the Dutch and European markets by identifying organizational data bottlenecks, crafting compelling platform-led proposals, and building long-term alliances with technology partners.
• Bridge Finance & Tech: Translate information needs for effective decision-making into architectural requirements and decisions, covering core finance processes, data management, planning applications, and reporting.
• Teaming & Talent Cultivation: Direct, coach, and inspire managers and consultants within the team, fostering deep technical expertise in EPM/ERP platforms alongside strategic consulting capabilities.

Your new team | About your colleagues and the office
