Job Description
We are seeking a sharp, data-savvy Finance Manager to join our high-growth, tech-enabled BPO organization. This role goes beyond traditional finance - you'll be a strategic partner, leveraging analytics to drive operational efficiency, profitability, and client success. You'll lead financial planning and analysis (FP&A), own data-driven decision-making, and collaborate cross-functionally to create financial models, dashboards, and reports that inform business strategy.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Financial Planning & Analysis:
    Develop and maintain dynamic forecasting models, budget frameworks, and variance analysis across business units and client programs.


  • Data-Driven Decision Support:
    Partner with operations, sales, and delivery to deliver financial insights that optimize margin, workforce utilization, pricing, and contract performance.


  • Business Intelligence & Reporting:


Build and maintain real-time dashboards and financial reports using tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or Looker. Enable self-service analytics across departments.

  • Client Profitability Analysis:


Analyze profitability by client, vertical, and service line. Support account management in pricing and renewal strategy.

  • Automation & Process Improvement:


Identify and automate repetitive finance processes (e.g., report generation, invoicing, data consolidation) to increase efficiency.

  • KPI Development & Monitoring:
    Develop relevant financial and operational KPIs that align with business goals. Monitor trends and alert leadership to potential risks or opportunities.


  • Strategic Projects:


Drive financial due diligence, cost optimization initiatives, and expansion modeling for new services, geographies, or partnerships.

Requirements

  • Clear criminal record
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field. MBA or CPA/CMA is strongly advantageous.
  • 5 to 8+ years of progressive finance experience, ideally within a BPO, tech-enabled services, or SaaS environment.
  • Advanced Excel and modeling skills; experience with SQL or Python is advantageous.
  • Strong experience with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent).
  • Proven track record of turning data into financial strategies that drive business impact.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.


Benefits

  • A high-growth, innovation-focused environment with purpose-driven leadership.


  • Direct visibility to executive leadership and the opportunity to shape financial strategy.


  • A people-first culture that values collaboration, continuous learning, and real impact.


  • Competitive compensation, performance bonuses, and benefits.
