What You Can Expect 

As a Senior Manager, you'll lead client engagements to solve complex finance transformation challenges and provide strategic advice on the design and implementation of future-state finance operating models, processes, and systems. You'll build and sustain senior-level client relationships — including with CFOs, Controllers, and finance leadership — acting as a trusted advisor throughout the transformation lifecycle. You'll play an active role in business development, identifying new finance transformation opportunities, shaping proposals, and expanding Protiviti's presence in the market. You'll serve as a leader and ambassador of Protiviti within the finance and business community. You will also mentor, coach, and develop Managers, Senior Consultants, and Consultants, overseeing multiple engagement teams and ensuring the successful execution of complex, multi-phase transformation work plans. 

What Will Help You Be Successful 

• You are energized by identifying opportunities to modernize and transform a client's finance function — from record-to-report and order-to-cash to procure-to-pay and FP&A processes.  

• You're motivated to deepen your expertise in finance system transformations, ERP implementations, and evolving finance technology and automation trends (e.g., ERP migrations, RPA, EPM tools).  

• You are passionate about cultivating senior finance-leadership relationships and delivering exceptional, differentiated client experiences throughout a transformation journey.  

• You have a strong interest in program management, team leadership, and developing the next generation of finance transformation talent.  

• You actively shape a positive team culture that fosters open communication, collaboration, and accountability across engagement teams.  

• You create meaningful development opportunities for others and find ways for your team to improve outcomes for clients and communities.  

• You're driven to grow a diverse portfolio of finance transformation clients across multiple industries and to contribute to Protiviti's business development efforts.

• Leading finance process analysis and assessments — across areas such as record-to-report, procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, budgeting/forecasting, and financial close — and developing future-state roadmaps. 

• Service excellence — identifying complex client finance issues, determining client needs through innovative diagnostic approaches, validating analysis, and developing strategic recommendations in the context of the broader finance transformation engagement. 

• Strong track record evaluating, summarizing, organizing, and interpreting complex financial and operational data to drive executive-level decision-making.  

• Proven ability to establish, cultivate, and expand senior finance and business relationships and a professional network, including contributing to sales and business development activities.
