• Oversee grants financial tracking and forecasting, including commitment pacing, multi-year outlooks, and coordination with Accounting to ensure accurate reporting.

• Drive monthly close activities, including accrual preparation across Opex and reconciliation across systems to ensure data integrity.
• Lead the identification and implementation of AI-driven and automation improvements across recurring finance processes — including accrual workflows, forecast updates, headcount tracking, and reporting packages — with a focus on reducing manual effort, improving accuracy, and building scalable solutions.
• Actively leverage AI tools in day-to-day finance work, from drafting variance narratives and summarizing stakeholder-ready insights to accelerating model builds and streamlining repetitive analytical tasks.

• Develop dashboards and self-service reporting tools that empower stakeholders and reduce ad hoc requests over time.

What You'll Bring

• 5–7 years of Finance experience, including progressive experience in an FP&A role, ideally within a complex, fast-paced, or growth-oriented organization.
• Exceptional analytical, modeling, and problem-solving skills; thinks critically and connects financial outcomes to operational drivers.
• Strong relationship-building and collaboration skills in working with business partners and cross-functional stakeholders; able to communicate financial insights clearly and constructively.
• Strong results orientation and bias to action; self-starter who works independently, demonstrates initiative, flexibility, and maturity under pressure, and effectively manages competing priorities.
• Experience working with Adaptive Planning (or comparable forecasting software), Workday Financials (or similar ERP systems), and Salesforce, with strong proficiency in Excel and Google Suite (Sheets, Docs, Slides).
• Demonstrated hands-on experience applying AI tools and automation to finance workflows — such as using AI assistants to accelerate analysis, drafting, and reporting; building automated data pipelines or recurring reporting; or deploying AI-enabled solutions to improve forecast reliability and process efficiency. Comfort experimenting with and adopting new AI tools as they evolve is essential.
• A forward-looking mindset toward AI in finance: understands how AI is reshaping FP&A and is eager to be at the forefront of that shift — not just using available tools, but actively identifying where AI can drive the most value across the finance function.

The Vice President of Business Systems will serve as the executive leader responsible for the product vision, strategy, governance, and execution of CZI’s enterprise platforms across Finance, People, Grants, Contracts (Legal), and Brand & Communications.

This role is accountable for evolving CZI’s systems ecosystem from distributed, domain-specific tools into cohesive, product-driven, mission-aligned platforms. Success requires moving beyond system administration or vendor-led implementations to design intuitive, end-to-end user experiences, reduce operational friction, and enable clear, data-driven decision-making across the organization.

As a key member of Central Technology’s leadership team, reporting to the Senior Vice President of Central Technology, the Vice President of Business Systems will shape organizational strategy, strengthen cross-functional collaboration at scale, and build a world-class internal tools organization. This leader will treat business systems as internal products, emphasizing product excellence, reliability, and seamless user experience to transform how a complex, mission-driven organization operates at every level.

What You'll Do

• Define and own the product vision and multi-year strategy for business systems, ensuring internal platforms are designed around real user needs and aligned with CZI’s organizational priorities.
• Lead the evolution of Business Systems into a product-led internal tools organization, with clear product ownership, discovery practices, prioritization frameworks, and roadmap discipline.
• Treat enterprise platforms (e.g., Workday, Salesforce, Coupa, Greenhouse, Ironclad) as foundational infrastructure, designing cohesive workflows and user experiences on top of them rather than relying solely on out-of-the-box functionality.
• Build, lead, and mentor a high-performing, multidisciplinary team spanning product, program management, engineering, analytics, and systems leadership.
• Establish governance frameworks and cross-functional decision-making models that support product strategy, tradeoff clarity, and long-term platform health across Finance, People, Grants, Contracts (Legal), and Brand & Communications.
• Serve as a trusted executive partner to C-level leaders and domain executives, translating organizational strategy and operational needs into clear systems and product direction.
• Oversee systems architecture, integration strategy, and data flows to ensure platforms are scalable, secure, compliant, and designed for long-term evolution.
• Drive end-to-end workflow design, automation, and simplification, reducing manual effort while improving usability, transparency, and adoption.
• Champion change management, continuous feedback loops, and measurable improvement across all enterprise systems.
• Act as the primary executive voice for Business Systems within Central Technology and in cross-organizational strategic planning.

What You'll Bring

• 20+ years of progressive experience across enterprise systems, internal platforms, digital operations, or technology leadership, including 5+ years in executive leadership roles.
• Demonstrated experience owning product strategy for internal tools or platforms, including defining user personas, mapping end-to-end workflows, setting roadmaps, and driving adoption and satisfaction — not just implementing or administering systems.
• Proven leadership of enterprise platforms at scale (e.g., Workday, Salesforce, Coupa, Greenhouse, Ironclad), with the ability to design thoughtful abstractions, integrations, and user experiences on top of core systems.
• A track record of leading large-scale systems or platform transformations, delivering measurable improvements in usability, efficiency, and organizational clarity.
• Strong technical fluency across business systems, integrations, and data architecture — able to partner deeply with engineers, architects, and vendors while maintaining product-level accountability.
• Experience shifting organizations from reactive, request-driven system support to product-led operating models, introducing roadmaps, feedback loops, success metrics, and clear ownership.
• Exceptional executive stakeholder management skills, with experience influencing and aligning C-level leaders on priorities, tradeoffs, and long-term systems strategy.
• Strong understanding of business operations across Finance, People, Grants, Contracts (Legal), and Brand & Communications, and how systems can unify and enable these domains.
• Proven ability to build and scale inclusive, high-performing teams that balance delivery, quality, and user empathy.
• Outstanding communication skills, with the ability to translate complexity into clarity for technical and non-technical audiences.
