1. Strategic FP&A & Enterprise Forecasting
- Own the end-to-end Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) lifecycle, serving as the ultimate custodian of the business's financial trajectory.
- Orchestrate bottom-up and top-down forecasting cycles by partnering seamlessly with Operations, Technology, Analytics, and Client-Facing departments.
- Ensure all revenue and cost forecasts are rigorously pressure-tested, aligned with corporate growth targets, and optimized for margin expansion.
2. Business Intelligence, Risk Mitigation & Insight Generation

- Design and implement an executive "early warning system"—setting up automated alerts and real-time dashboards to identify emerging operational risks or margin leakages.
- Translate complex real-time data into strategic insights, empowering business heads to course-correct instantly and capitalize on internal optimization opportunities.
3. Cross-Functional KPI Leadership & Team Management

- Architect robust, standardized financial models and business case templates to determine the ROI, payback period, and strategic viability of prospective investments.
- Act as a vital "gatekeeper" for capital allocation, advising the executive board on strict financial and operational parameters that must be met before a pursuit is greenlit.

- Relevant Tenure: 6–9 years of progressive experience, with a mandatory background in top-tier Strategy Consulting (MBB, Monitor Deloitte, Strategy&, Kearney) or Investment Banking / Private Equity.
- Industry Nuance: Prior exposure to the Payment Integrity, Healthcare RCM, FinTech, or IT/ITES sectors is highly advantageous but not mandatory.
