Why join us now?

AI is transforming how people learn, work, and grow, and the need for new skills has never been greater. Coursera brings trusted content and credentials from leading university and industry partners, while Udemy brings a dynamic skills marketplace and global network of real-world experts. By combining these strengths, we can connect more people and organizations to the skills they need, when they need them.

By joining our team, you’ll have the opportunity to reshape how the world learns and applies skills—and help millions of people participate in the new economy. Bring your ideas, expertise, and perspective to meaningful work that can make a difference at global scale.

## About this role

- Strategic Transformation: Lead the strategic roadmap and digital transformation of the FP&A function across a complex tech organization encompassing Consumer, Enterprise, Content, Marketing, and Product divisions.
- "The Translator" Role: Bridge technical automation and business strategy, ensuring system builds reflect unique segment drivers (e.g., Enterprise SaaS metrics, B2C unit economics, Content amortization schedules).
- System Consolidation Strategy: Inherit a dual-system landscape (IBM Planning Analytics and Workday Adaptive Planning) to evaluate, test, and select the single go-forward enterprise architecture.
- Team Leadership & Upskilling: Lead, mentor, and cross-train an internal team of two direct reports (Systems Administrator and Analytics Specialist), keeping morale high and expanding their skill sets during platform changes.
- Culture of Automation: Drive a cultural shift away from manual spreadsheet assembly, empowering the broader FP&A team to focus on proactive, high-value strategic analysis.

## What you’ll be doing

- Strategic Insights & ROI Optimization: Leverage automated reporting and financial data to surface actionable insights that drive long-term corporate strategy, optimize capital allocation, and maximize ROI across Content, Product, and Marketing investments.
- Direct Team Management: Manage day-to-day workflows for two direct reports, balancing immediate reporting and analytics demands with major project milestones for the system transition.
- Bespoke Business Partnership: Partner directly with decentralized FP&A teams across all business segments to audit their unique workflows and build tailored, automated financial modeling solutions.
- Migration Execution & Vendor Management: Direct external implementation consultants and manage vendor relationships to execute the definitive "rip and replace" system migration on time, within budget, and with zero disruption to close cycles.
- Workflow & Close Optimization: Automate data pipelines and standard reporting decks to drastically reduce monthly close and forecast cycle times.
- Change Management & Governance: Establish strict system access controls, data hierarchy standards, and cross-functional user training programs to drive company-wide platform adoption.

## Qualifications

- Progressive FP&A Experience: 10+ years of experience across FP&A, Finance Transformation, or Financial Systems, ideally within a high-growth, multi-segment technology company.
- Dual System Expertise: Hands-on architectural and administrative knowledge of both Workday Adaptive Planning and IBM Planning Analytics (TM1), or comparable enterprise planning platforms.
- Migration Track Record: Proven success leading end-to-end platform consolidations, vendor bake-offs, and full-lifecycle system implementations.
- People Leadership: Demonstrated ability to manage and upskill technical team members through organizational change and software transitions.
- Modern Analytics Stack: Working knowledge of modern data visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI), SQL, data warehousing, or automation tools, with the ability to explain technical concepts to business leaders.
- Commercial Acumen & Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Information Systems, or a related field (MBA/CPA preferred), paired with a deep understanding of tech P&L drivers and subscription metrics.
