We are seeking an analytically driven Finance & Supplier Services Lead - Content Transformation to oversee financial discipline, investment governance, and value realization for a five-year, $128M Marketing Content Transformation initiative. Leveraging Adobe's GenAI creative suite to target a minimum of $27M in agency savings, this role bridges Brand, Supplier Services, Sourcing and Procurement Operations, and Marketing Transformation. The ideal candidate will combine rigorous multi-line budget management and financial modeling with executive-level storytelling, translating complex data into actionable insights for C-suite leadership.
Responsibilities:
- Oversee end-to-end budget management and investment governance across software licensing, implementation labor, consulting fees, and internal headcount.
- Establish and manage line-of-business (LOB) cost allocations proportional to projected savings and benefit ratios.
- Serve as the lead financial tracker for initiative ROI, maintaining multi-year NPV models, updating cost-avoidance projections, and measuring progress against the $27M agency savings target.
- Monitor agency spend, production expenses, and content output volumes across business units to evaluate total value realization and quantify the reinvestment of savings into scaled content production.
- Build, automate, and maintain executive-ready reporting, financial models, macros, and interactive dashboards to deliver weekly and ad-hoc updates on investment breakdowns, benefit allocations, and savings timelines.
- Partner with Sourcing and Procurement to support agency contract evaluations, retainer restructuring, and pricing unbundling, using centralized cross-LOB expense data to track savings.
- Utilize Workfront data to monitor resource capacity, track headcount allocation, and model the financial shift from external agency dependencies to internal AI-enabled workflows.
- Evaluate the financial viability, operational governance, and key performance metrics of GenAI initiatives, collaborating cross-functionally to secure executive approvals and ensure strategic alignment.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field (MBA preferred).
- 3+ years of experience in finance, accounting, or business management directly overseeing large, complex multi-line budgets.
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including financial modeling, macros, complex formulas, and multi-year NPV analyses.
- Proven ability to analyze large datasets and deliver clear, high-impact PowerPoint presentations and executive-level narratives to C-suite leadership (e.g., CFO, CMO, CBO).
- Demonstrated success tracking ROI, cost-avoidance, and value realization within large-scale programs.
- High standard of discretion and sound judgment handling confidential headcount, vendor negotiation, and proprietary financial data.
- Familiarity with financial services, enterprise procurement, or vendor payment systems (e.g., Ariba, Optima, SAP).
- Experience with Workfront or similar enterprise resource, project, and capacity management platforms.
- Background in marketing operations, creative content production workflows, agency retainer management, or enterprise technology transformation within a matrixed organization.
