Job Description

Titel: Senior Finance Business Partner

Location: Bangalore

Shift timing: 11:00AM – 8:00PM IST

Experience: 8 – 13 Years

Introduction to the job

Act as the primary financial business partner to the Technology function, owning the full budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis cycle for a $35M Non-Employee IT expense base supporting 400+ employees. This role goes beyond data consolidation: it requires proactively engaging Technology leadership in business discussions, independently translating those discussions into financial numbers, and delivering decision-quality insight, dashboards and follow-through on actions — reducing the need for Director-level involvement in day-to-day business partnering.

Some of the things you'll be doing

Business Partnering & Stakeholder Engagement
Act as the first point of contact for Technology leadership on all financial matters, independently engaging in business discussions.
Proactively ask the right questions of Technology, Procurement and Vendor Management stakeholders to understand cost drivers, new initiatives, vendor contracts and renewal terms ahead of time.
Build strong, trust-based relationships across the Technology organization to gain early visibility into spend decisions and changes.
Budgeting & Forecasting
Own end-to-end Non-EE budgeting and forecasting for the $35M Technology cost base across all managed ERPs.
Download, consolidate and reconcile transaction-level data from NetSuite, SAP, Tally and other regional ERPs, mapping consistently to EPM cost categories.
Partner with Technology leaders to validate assumptions, vendor renewals, contract changes and new project spend ahead of each budget/forecast cycle.
Variance Analysis & Commentary
Deliver high-quality, insight-led variance commentary (Actuals vs Budget/Forecast) that clearly explains root causes and business drivers rather than restating numbers.
Prepare a no-surprises analysis ahead of monthly/quarterly reviews, anticipating leadership questions.
Reporting & Dashboards
Maintain and continuously improve the Power BI Technology dashboard (Non-EE, EE and headcount views), ensuring accuracy and timely refresh.
Enable self-service reporting for Technology and Finance stakeholders.
Action Tracking & Follow-Through
Maintain a structured action/issue tracker for open items with Procurement, Finops and BU stakeholders, ensuring clear ownership, due dates and closure.
Drive items through to measurable resolution rather than repeated status-only follow-ups; escalate stalled items proactively.
Governance & Controls
Ensure accurate cost centre, project and vendor cost allocation across Business Units.
Support audit and compliance requirements relating to Technology spend and cost recharges.
Process Leadership & Automation
Identify and drive automation opportunities to reduce manual, multi-ERP consolidation effort (e.g., Power Query/Power Automate).
Guide and review the work of any junior finance resources supporting Technology reporting.

What technical skills, experience, and qualifications do you need

Qualified accountant, MBA (Finance), or equivalent senior finance qualification, with 8+ years of overall finance experience including 3+ years in a Finance Business Partnering / FP&A role.
Proven experience managing a large, multi-million-dollar Technology/IT cost base, including SAAS, licensing and vendor spend.
Practical, hands-on experience with multiple ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, Tally or similar), including consolidation of data from disparate systems.
Advanced Excel and Power BI skills; experience with Oracle EPM or similar planning/consolidation tools is preferred.
Prior experience supporting or partnering with a Technology/IT organization is highly preferred.
Strong business acumen with the ability to independently engage Technology leaders, ask probing questions, and translate discussions into financial plans without close supervision.
Excellent variance analysis and financial storytelling skills, producing clear, insight-driven commentary suited to senior leadership audiences.
Strong sense of ownership and follow-through, driving actions to closure and measurable outcomes rather than status updates alone.
Ability to manage multiple ERP data sources, consolidating and reconciling large transaction volumes efficiently and accurately.
Excellent stakeholder management, communication and presentation skills across finance and non-finance audiences.
A process-improvement and automation mindset, with the ability to simplify and streamline recurring reporting tasks.

Stay updated on industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies to enhance financial strategies and processes.
