Transformation Finance Lead

About the role

The Transformation Finance Lead serves as the finance and commercial partner to the Transformation Team, owning the full financial picture of the transformation: what is invested in people, process change and technology, whether it is paying off, and how the resulting tools and products are priced and sold. The role is senior and hands-on, covering transformation planning and financial control, product economics and client pricing.

Key responsibilities

• Plan, budget and forecast the full cost of the transformation (people, process redesign, technology) and measure its value, translating time savings and capacity gains into hiring, staffing, budget and P&L outcomes.
• Monitor spend against budget, flag issues early and recommend corrective action.
• Build and pressure-test business cases (ROI, payback, run-rate costs) and give an independent finance view on major investments.
• Estimate the cost of building and running tools and products, develop unit economics and challenge business cases (NPV, payback, implementation costs).
• Design new pricing and commercial models for products sold to clients, partnering with Commercial Finance Leads on remuneration models beyond time and materials and traditional fees.
• Build financial models, scenarios and materials for agencies to present to clients, and join client conversations as a subject matter expert on pricing.
• Set the vision for finance tools and dashboards, and explore AI and automation to improve transformation finance.

Required profile

• 12+ years of progressive experience in strategic finance, FP&A, pricing, commercial finance or a related field.
• Experience managing the cost of building and running technology products and pricing them.
• Experience measuring the financial impact of operational or workflow change, and leading or shaping major pricing or compensation model changes.
• Working knowledge of agency service models (retainer, time and materials, FTE-based and project-based fees).
• Preferred: agency, consulting or professional services experience, and experience with outcome-based, subscription or usage-based pricing.

Required skills

• Strong financial modeling skills and ability to turn messy operational data into clear choices.
• Tech-savvy, an active user of AI tools, comfortable working with builders to design tools and dashboards.
• Able to influence senior leaders and clients without direct authority and to explain complex financial ideas clearly.

What we offer

• Pay range of USD 248,400 to 335,300 annually, with possible bonus or incentive compensation.
• Medical, dental, vision and disability coverage, 401K, parental and family care leave, tuition reimbursement and flexible time off.
