About The Team

The IT Business Operations team is seeking a hands‑on, detail‑oriented Technology Financial Operations Specialist to support the Chief Technology Office (CTO) and Chief Data Office (CDO) organizations.

The role partners closely with Central Procurement, Accounts Payable, IT Supply Chain, Asset Management, Finance, and IT stakeholders to support purchase requisition (PR) creation, spend validation, budgeting support, invoice research, and spend reporting.

How You’ll Make An Impact

• Support budgeting, forecasting, and in‑year spend reviews for CTO and CDO organizations by maintaining budget‑to‑actual views, variance inputs, and recurring spend reporting.
• Provide PR creation for approved CTO and CDO spend, ensuring accurate cost centre, GL, project, entity, and currency alignment, required approvals, and supporting documentation.
• Serve as a point of contact for IT stakeholders who require assistance translating approved work into compliant Purchase Requisitions.
• Partner with Central Procurement to support PR‑to‑PO progression, addressing corrections or resubmissions as needed.
• Assist with solution renewals and invoice research and resolution by validating PR/PO references, approvals, cost allocations, and other required financial details.
• Coordinate with Accounts Payable, Procurement, and vendors to resolve invoice discrepancies such as pricing variances, allocation issues, or entity/VAT alignment.
• Maintain accurate documentation to support audits, internal controls, and financial reviews.
• Participate in Technology finance‑led initiatives, including process improvements, reporting enhancements and workflow or ERP changes (as an IT finance stakeholder).
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and comfort working with large data set reconciliations, variance analysis, and reporting.

You May Be a Good Fit If

• A degree (or equivalent) strongly preferred, or an equivalent combination of experience, training, and education.
• 3+ years’ experience in financial operations, procurement operations, procure‑to‑pay support, or a related role within an enterprise environment.
• Working knowledge of PR/PO workflows, approvals, invoice processing, and financial controls.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to work across cost centres, GLs, projects, entities, and currencies.
• Proven ability to coordinate across Finance, Procurement, Accounts Payable, and technology stakeholders.
• Experience using ERP or procurement systems such as SAP, Oracle, Coupa, iValua, or similar.

What Would Make You Stand Out

• Familiarity with complex vendor invoices, shared service allocations, or market data providers.
• Strong understanding of Procure‑to‑Pay controls and exception management.
• Comfort presenting spend insights or updates to Technology leadership and senior stakeholders.
