What you can expect

Mercer is seeking a Technology FP&A professional to join our Finance team in Gurugram. This role supports global technology finance activities, including forecasting, reporting, and financial analysis. You'll work closely with technology and finance stakeholders and collaborate with onshore FP&A partners to help deliver clear, timely insights that support decision-making. This is an individual contributor role with no people management responsibilities.

We will count on you to

• Prepare recurring management reporting and dashboards, highlighting key drivers, risks, and opportunities.
• Assist with consolidation of inputs across multiple technology teams to ensure accuracy, consistency, and on-time delivery.
• Partner with onshore FP&A and business stakeholders to understand financial performance and provide actionable insights.
• Help improve and standardize FP&A processes, templates, and reporting packs to increase efficiency and consistency.
• Contribute to automation and process enhancement efforts (e.g., improving Excel models, exploring new tooling, streamlining data loads, reducing manual work).
• Maintain strong financial controls and data integrity across reporting and planning deliverables.

What you need to have

• 12+ years of experience in FP&A, budgeting/forecasting, and management reporting (technology or shared services environment preferred).
• Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, structured models; ability to work with large datasets).
• Experience working with financial systems and/or EPM tools (Oracle and other planning tools are a plus, not required).
• Solid understanding of core finance concepts (P&L, cost management, accruals, variance analysis).
• Clear communication skills and comfort working with stakeholders across teams and geographies.
• Strong attention to detail, ability to meet deadlines, and comfort operating in a fast-paced environment.

What makes you stand out

• Experience supporting global stakeholders across time zones.
• Familiarity with technology financials (run vs. change costs, project spend, capitalization concepts).
• Interest in process improvement and automation (Excel optimization, Power Query/Power Pivot, basic data visualization).

Why join our team

• Professional development opportunities, interesting work, and supportive leaders.
• A collaborative and inclusive culture with talented colleagues.
• A range of career opportunities, benefits, and rewards to support your well-being.
