You are comfortable in a model, in a dataset, and in front of a client, and you want to build depth in Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), FP&A, and AI-enabled planning. You gather requirements, configure models and reports, test the logic, and turn analysis into insights that inform real client decisions.

• Gather and document requirements through client interviews and working sessions; translate them into functional designs and build specifications
• Perform finance data analysis — profiling source data, validating model outputs, and testing results against client baselines
• Produce clear, client-ready deliverables: process documentation, design artifacts, dashboards, and executive summaries
• Support testing, training, and deployment activities through go-live and stabilization
• Contribute to practice assets — reusable templates, configuration accelerators, and internal knowledge-sharing
• Build financial services domain knowledge across banking, insurance, and capital markets through client work and structured learning
• Ability to travel up to 25–50%, commensurate with client engagement requirements

Here’s what you need:

• A minimum of 3 years of experience in finance transformation, FP&A, financial analysis, or EPM implementation — in a consulting, professional services, or corporate finance environment
• Bachelor's degree

Bonus points if:

• You have financial services experience — in banking, insurance, or capital markets, whether through consulting engagements or an in-house role
• You have hands-on build or configuration experience in an EPM platform, or hold a platform certification such as Anaplan Model Builder
• You have worked with AI, GenAI, automation, or advanced analytics applied to a finance process
• You are comfortable with SQL, Python, or a BI tool such as Tableau or Power BI
• You have exposure to financial services regulatory or reporting frameworks such as DFAST, CECL, RBC for insurance, or Basel/CRR
• You have an advanced degree in finance, accounting, analytics, or a related field, or are working toward a CPA or CFA
• Exposure to at least one EPM platform (Oracle EPM Cloud, SAP Analytics Cloud, Anaplan, OneStream, or Workday Adaptive Planning) through implementation, administration, or hands‑on use
• Strong financial modeling and data analysis skills, including advanced Excel and the ability to work with large or imperfect datasets
• Experience producing client‑ready or executive‑ready deliverables
