The Role
Reporting directly into the Director of Corporate FP&A, this is a critical and highly visible role. You will act as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) on Workday Adaptive Planning within the Finance function. Your primary objective is to bridge the gap between financial strategy and technical execution, ensuring our planning tools are robust, scalable and provide high-impact insights to leadership.
What You'll Be Doing
* Serve as the primary Finance Subject Matter Expert for Workday Adaptive, collaborating with the Tech Department to develop and implement a roadmap that ensures the system scales with business needs.
* Lead the design and implementation of new capabilities within Adaptive, focusing on building balance sheet and cash flow forecasting models and enhancing existing operating expenses and headcount models.

* Advanced proficiency in Excel and Google Sheets with a proven ability to translate raw data into clear, actionable insights.
* A proactive approach to problem solving, with a track record of identifying complex issues and building scalable, detail-oriented solutions.

* Comfortable working independently and managing multiple priorities in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment.
* A collaborative mindset focused on co‑creating solutions with Finance colleagues, sharing system knowledge and driving adoption across the team.
