Principal Process Architect, FP&A

This role sits at the intersection of finance, process transformation, and technology. It is broader than EPM platform management alone and is accountable for helping define and deliver the roadmap for Plan to Perform capabilities across Finance. Operating as a senior individual contributor, you will work with the transformation team on process redesign, business analysis, solution design, and program execution, while partnering closely with Finance, Data, and Technology stakeholders.

This role will serve as the primary technology and transformation partner for the FP&A value stream, helping modernize planning, forecasting, reporting, and analytics processes; drive cross-functional alignment; and identify opportunities to leverage automation and AI to accelerate finance outcomes. The role should remain grounded in systems and solution delivery, but with equal emphasis on business process transformation and portfolio leadership.

The ideal candidate is a strong process and transformation leader with experience spanning finance processes, business systems, and cross-functional program delivery. They understand FP&A deeply enough to engage credibly with finance stakeholders, while also bringing the structured thinking and technical fluency needed to guide solution design and systems-enabled change.

They are comfortable leading a team, navigating ambiguity, and influencing across a complex stakeholder environment. They can balance strategic roadmap thinking with practical execution and bring a modernization mindset that includes process simplification, connected planning, and the thoughtful application of AI and emerging technologies.
