Add additional notes here:
Please focus your search and screening on the following four pillars:
- The "Hands-On" Seniority (The Most Critical Filter)
● Candidate Profile: Prioritize individuals with Senior Manager or VP pedigree who are intentionally pivoting to a "hands-on" Individual Contributor capacity where they maintain full ownership of execution.
● Evidence of Execution: Documentation must demonstrate the candidate has personally automated global consolidation reports, refined process narratives, and performed FX revaluations rather than merely supervising these tasks.
● The Rejection Filter: Any candidate who "manages through others" is a fail. We require the practitioner who actively builds Excel models and troubleshoots complex formulas.
- Expert-Level Tool Kit (HFM & Oracle FCCS)
● System Depth: The candidate must be an expert (not just a user) in Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) and Oracle Cloud/FCCS.
● Evidence of Mastery: Look for candidates who have led system integrations or master data governance cleanup. This proves they understand the "pipes" of the financial system, not just the final reports.
- "Quality Control" Mindset (Accountability)
● The Responsibility: The HM needs someone who will look at a Senior Director's work and say, "This Excel logic is flawed," and then fix it.
● Required Background: Candidates with Big 4 Audit or Consolidations experience at a multi-national level (like MUFG or Deloitte) are preferred. They are trained to find the "needle in the haystack" in complex datasets.
- Advanced Data Literacy
● Excel Sharpness: Screening must confirm they are "power users." They should be comfortable with complex intercompany eliminations and foreign exchange (FX) impact analysis.
● Complexity Level: The current EXT has a $140B portfolio of derivatives. We need someone who isn't intimidated by high-volume, high-stakes data.
