Manager, Financial Analysis - Tech Finance

Ideal location is Boston or Portsmouth, but open to internal candidates that are currently remote

Technology Finance is hiring a Finance Manager to lead the financial management of Liberty Mutual’s cloud and AI investments — including one of the most exciting emerging frontiers in tech: Generative AI and agentic technologies. You'll establish new and refine existing processes for tracking, managing, and optimizing these rapidly evolving spend portfolios, while also driving monthly close, forecasting, and annual planning. You will balance day-to-day operational responsibilities with strategic initiatives, playing a pivotal role in shaping how Liberty Mutual manages and governs its rapidly evolving Generative AI and agentic technology investments.

This is a critical leadership role on a highly visible team, where you'll manage a team of analysts and own end-to-end financial oversight of cloud and AI spend across the organization. You'll partner directly with senior Technology stakeholders at the intersection of finance and cutting-edge innovation.

If you're a seasoned finance professional with a passion for technology and a drive to build something new, this is your seat at the table.

Responsibilities:

• Manage multiple cross-functional and departmental projects of moderate to high scope and complexity within the Technology Finance organization, with a focus on cloud infrastructure and AI/GenAI spend portfolios. Define project scope and prioritize resource commitments.
• Lead all day-to-day operational finance activities, including monthly book close, monthly forecasting, and annual planning guidance, ensuring accuracy and timeliness across all Technology Finance deliverables.
• Establish and drive new processes and frameworks for managing emerging spend categories, including Generative AI and agentic AI technologies, partnering closely with Technology and business stakeholders to develop governance models that scale with the organization's AI ambitions.
• Ensure the department provides quality, cost-effective customer service to its internal technology partners and business stakeholders.
• Develop and use dynamic predictive financial analysis models that identify factors affecting cloud and AI costs and revenues, and reasonably predict future outcomes based upon various input variables.
• Assess external factors and economic impacts — including the rapidly shifting AI and cloud vendor landscape — on financial plans and projections, utilizing net present value techniques. Communicate the financial implications of plans and actions and determine whether they make financial sense based upon analysis performed.
• Evaluate opportunities for efficiencies and improvements to processes, controls, and technology systems, with particular emphasis on building scalable financial management capabilities for new and evolving GenAI and agentic spend categories. Determine cost/benefit of opportunities and prioritize initiatives accordingly.
• Hire, develop, coach, and make compensation recommendations for assigned analysts and staff. Define individual performance objectives and development plans and ensure alignment with project and departmental objectives.
