About the Role We are looking for a finance-oriented leader to own the validation, underwriting, and assurance of negotiated savings and value outcomes across a portfolio of large enterprise clients. This is, first and foremost, a finance and analysis role — someone who lives in the numbers, builds and defends the financial case, and serves as a credible financial counterpart to client finance and procurement executives. Deep procurement domain fluency is important context, but the primary discipline we are hiring for is financial analysis and value validation, not category sourcing. The role sits at the intersection of financial analysis, client leadership, and operational execution. Because our business operates predominantly under gainshare arrangements, the rigor and defensibility of the savings and value figures this person produces directly drives client trust and company revenue. The work is high-accountability: every outcome must be analytically sound, methodologically consistent, and able to withstand scrutiny from sophisticated client finance stakeholders. This is a player-coach role that skews heavily toward individual contribution. We expect this person to spend the majority of their time personally performing complex financial analysis, savings validation, and value-realization modeling — not delegating it. They will also lead and elevate a small, experienced team and assume ownership of senior client relationships and invoicing currently handled by firm leadership, but the center of gravity is hands-on financial work. The ideal candidate is a finance professional with consulting-grade rigor and executive presence, who is fluent enough in procurement and professional-services spend to validate and defend outcomes credibly — and who is energized by being the person who personally underwrites the numbers.

About the Role

We are looking for a finance-oriented leader to own the
validation, underwriting, and assurance of negotiated savings and
value outcomes across a portfolio of large enterprise clients.
This is, first and foremost, a finance and analysis role —
someone who lives in the numbers, builds and defends the
financial case, and serves as a credible financial counterpart to
client finance and procurement executives. Deep procurement
domain fluency is important context, but the primary discipline
we are hiring for is financial analysis and value validation, not
category sourcing.

The role sits at the intersection of financial analysis, client
leadership, and operational execution. Because our business
operates predominantly under gainshare arrangements, the rigor
and defensibility of the savings and value figures this person
produces directly drives client trust and company revenue. The
work is high-accountability: every outcome must be analytically
sound, methodologically consistent, and able to withstand
scrutiny from sophisticated client finance stakeholders.

This is a player-coach role that skews heavily toward individual
contribution. We expect this person to spend the majority of
their time personally performing complex financial analysis,
savings validation, and value-realization modeling — not
delegating it. They will also lead and elevate a small,
experienced team and assume ownership of senior client
relationships and invoicing currently handled by firm leadership,
but the center of gravity is hands-on financial work.

The ideal candidate is a finance professional with
consulting-grade rigor and executive presence, who is fluent
enough in procurement and professional-services spend to validate
and defend outcomes credibly — and who is energized by being the
person who personally underwrites the numbers.

What You'll Do

Financial Analysis & Value Validation (core of the role —
majority of time)

* Personally lead the financial analysis, validation, valuation,
and underwriting of negotiated savings and value outcomes across
client engagements.
* Build and own defensible baselines, methodologies, and
financial models — distinguishing realized savings from cost
avoidance, and ensuring every figure can withstand client finance
scrutiny.
* Validate savings and value outcomes before they are transmitted
to clients, standing behind the analytics, assumptions, and
methodology.
* Apply rigorous financial analysis to professional-services and
enterprise spend, translating complex commercial arrangements
into clear, substantiated value.
* Own the financial accuracy of savings-realization tracking and
client invoicing.
* Maintain exceptional standards for analytical rigor, quality
control, and methodological consistency.
Client Leadership & Delivery

* Serve as the senior, finance-credible point of contact for
client finance and procurement executives throughout the
validation and realization process.
* Lead complex and occasionally contentious conversations on
savings validation, value realization, and invoicing — defending
figures with confidence and credibility.
* Translate complex financial analyses into clear, persuasive,
and defensible client communications.
* Build trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders
through accuracy, responsiveness, and sound financial judgment.
* Assume ownership of key client-management and invoicing
interactions currently handled by senior leadership.
Team Leadership (secondary to individual contribution)

* Lead, mentor, and elevate a small team of experienced
validation and analysis professionals.
* Coach an experienced team while respecting and leveraging the
expertise they already hold; supplement specialized skills where
needed.
* Create accountability and elevate analytical quality across the
function while remaining personally close to the work.
Function Modernization

* Advance the sophistication and efficiency of validation and
realization processes through analytics, automation, and
AI-enabled workflows.

What We're Looking For

This is a finance-first profile. Procurement expertise is a
valuable complement, not the primary requirement.

* 10+ years in finance, financial analysis, transaction/value
advisory, FP&A, or a closely related discipline — with finance as
the core professional identity.
* Experience from a client-service / advisory environment with
consulting-grade rigor (e.g., Big 4 financial/transaction/value
advisory, top-tier or respected boutique consulting, PE/portfolio
value-creation, or equivalent). We hold a high bar for analytical
rigor and executive credibility.
* Demonstrated ownership of financial analysis and value/savings
validation, ideally involving professional-services spend —
building baselines, substantiating outcomes, and defending
figures to client finance leadership.
* Significant experience managing executive-level client
relationships in high-accountability settings, with the presence
and judgment to navigate difficult financial conversations.
* Exceptional financial and analytical acumen, including advanced
comfort with large, complex datasets and financial modeling.
* A genuine individual contributor at heart — someone who wants
to spend the majority of their time personally doing the
analysis, with team leadership as a complementary strength rather
than the primary draw.
* Excellent written and verbal communication — able to make
complex financial analysis clear, credible, and persuasive.
* High ownership, accountability, and attention to detail, with
the ability to operate independently in a fast-paced,
entrepreneurial environment.
* Procurement / sourcing / professional-services-spend fluency
sufficient to validate outcomes credibly (strongly preferred, as
a complement to the finance skillset).

* Aptitude for modernizing analytical workflows through
technology, automation, and AI.

Credentials (preferred)

* CPA, CFA, or MBA with a finance concentration, or equivalent
finance credentialing.
Required

* Advanced Microsoft Excel and financial modeling.
* Strong comfort working with data, analytics, and
technology-enabled workflows.
* Experience using AI productivity and analysis tools.
Nice to Have

* Familiarity with ERP and procurement platforms (SAP, Oracle,
Ariba, Coupa, or similar).
* Experience improving analytical or operational workflows
through automation or AI.
