This is an opportunity for an analytical leader with an FP&A or operational background and a strategic mindset to take broader ownership of the FinTech portfolio's financial narrative, portfolio planning & execution management, and the M&A integration playbook. This role reports to Denis Brosnan, the CEO of the FinTech segment of the CORA portfolio.

Execution & Operational Excellence

• Establish best-in-class execution management processes across business units.

• Support development of scalable pricing models, incentive frameworks, and performance management systems.

• Coach portfolio company leadership teams to strengthen financial acumen, operational discipline, and execution rigor.

Qualifications

• University degree in a business, finance, economics or accounting-related field with an excellent academic record

• 8–10 years of experience in finance, consulting, corporate strategy, or technology with exposure to M&A and operational leadership.

• Professional designation (CPA, CFA, MBA, or equivalent) is an asset but not required.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; proven ability to build financial models and translate data into actionable insights.

• Skilled at influencing senior executives, asking probing questions, and challenging the status quo with sound recommendations.

• Comfortable managing multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

• Familiarity with the technology/software industry is an asset.

• Willingness to travel globally
