Managing Director - Data Analytics (Finance / CFO Advisory)

Job Description

Managing Director – Data & Analytics / Finance Transformation

United States (various locations) | Hybrid | Consulting

up to $260k base + $100k Equity + bonus

I’m supporting a high-growth consulting firm in appointing a Managing Director to its Data & Analytics/Finance Transformation practice.

This is a senior leadership role sitting at the intersection of CFO advisory, finance transformation, data analytics, automation and business intelligence.

The successful candidate will work with CFOs, Controllers, FP&A leaders and wider business stakeholders to help clients improve how they use data to make decisions, automate processes and create scalable reporting solutions.

Typical work will include:

• Leading client engagements across data analytics, automation, dashboarding and finance transformation
• Translating complex finance/accounting data into clear business insight
• Designing and delivering solutions using tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Alteryx, SQL, Python, Power Automate, Snowflake or Databricks
• Working closely with finance, accounting, FP&A and operational stakeholders
• Scoping projects, managing budgets and overseeing delivery teams
• Developing client relationships and supporting business development
• Mentoring and developing junior team members

The ideal profile will include:

• Senior consulting experience at Director, Senior Director, Managing Director or Partner level
• A strong background in finance transformation, CFO advisory, accounting advisory, FP&A transformation or business transformation
• Hands-on credibility with data, analytics, automation or BI tools
• Experience leading client-facing engagements
• Ability to explain technical topics to non-technical finance stakeholders
• Commercial confidence, including proposal development, relationship building or revenue generation
• CPA / accounting / finance background would be highly beneficial, but not essential

This is not a pure data science role and not a pure IT implementation position. The best fit is likely someone who can combine finance/accounting domain knowledge with data and automation capability, while operating as a senior consulting leader.

Potentially relevant backgrounds include consulting firms across CFO advisory, accounting advisory, finance transformation, business transformation, digital transformation, data analytics, BI, automation or PE-backed value creation.

Please reach out confidentially if this could be relevant, or feel free to share with someone in your network who may be interested.
