The Finance Manager, B2B Investment & Cost Strategy is an individual-contributor role that sits at the center of B2B’s investment and cost agenda. This role leads strategic financial projects, investment governance & reviews, and long‑range financial modeling that enable B2B leadership to make disciplined, data‑driven decisions.

You will manage and drive cross‑functional strategic initiatives (including integration of M&A activities), establish investment governance frameworks and rhythm of the business for investment reviews with the B2B leadership team, and own long-range strategic financial modeling to drive investments and cost efficiencies.

In this role, you will:

Strategic projects & M&A integration

• Manage and drive strategic finance projects across B2B, from framing the problem and defining scope through analysis, recommendations, and implementation tracking.

• Lead the OPEX finance workstreams for M&A integration, partnering with M&A Integration team, B2B Finance LT, and Corporate Finance to translate deal theses into concrete integration plans, financial targets, and performance tracking.

• Coordinate cross‑functional stakeholders (Finance, Product, Tech, Commercial, HR, Legal) to ensure investment decisions and integration activities are aligned to the agreed financial and strategic objectives.

• Own long-range strategic financial modeling on investments & cost efficiency initiatives and partner with B2B finance teams to drive decisions and operationalize in financial planning

Investment governance

• Design and maintain investment frameworks, criteria, and guardrails that are consistent with EG and P&T standards but tailored to B2B’s needs.

• Define governance routines (cadence, stakeholders, inputs/outputs) for how new asks and changes to existing investments flow through B2B Finance and B2B LT.

• Ensure investment cases are evaluated consistently on value, risk, and capacity, with clear documentation and decision transparency.

• Partner with B2B Cost Management and Product & Tech Finance, Strategy, and Business Operations teams to keep B2B investment governance aligned to enterprise processes and expectations.

Investment reviews

• Establish and prepare recurring investment review forums with the B2B leadership team, including agenda design, prep materials, and decision capture.

• Build clear, concise materials that frame trade‑offs, scenarios, and recommendations for new and existing investments.

• Track decisions, follow‑ups, and financial impacts from each review and ensure they are reflected in forecasts, plans, and stakeholder communications.

Performance management, forecasting, and reporting

• Support monthly and quarterly outlooks for your B2B portfolio, including variance analysis, risk/opportunity tracking, and succinct narratives for senior stakeholders.

• Develop and maintain standard reporting and dashboards that provide B2B LT with timely visibility into investment performance, cost trends, and return on capital.

• Contribute to annual planning and long‑range planning by connecting investment decisions and integration plans to headcount, spend, and P&L outcomes.

Stakeholder partnership & influence

• Act as a trusted advisor to B2B leaders, bringing a clear point‑of‑view on where to invest, where to pause, and how to sequence work for maximum value.

• Work closely with B2B FP&A, Corporate Finance, HR, and Business Operations to ensure B2B perspectives are well‑represented in enterprise decisions.

• Influence stakeholders through structured, insight‑driven storytelling, not just data, and drive follow‑through on agreed actions.

Experience and qualification:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or related field (or equivalent experience).

• 5+ years of progressive experience in finance, FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, consulting, or similar analytical roles.

• Demonstrated experience building robust financial models (including multi‑year and scenario models) to support strategic or investment decisions.

• Strong command of financial statements, unit economics, and key B2B / platform metrics (e.g., volume, contribution margin, EBITDA).

• Advanced Excel skills and comfort working with large, complex data sets; experience with BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) is a plus.

• Proven ability to synthesize complex topics into clear insights and recommendations for senior stakeholders.

• Comfortable operating independently in ambiguous, fast‑moving environments, with strong ownership and follow‑through.

• Experience in B2B, platform, or marketplace businesses, ideally within technology or travel.

• Prior exposure to M&A (deal support or post‑merger integration) from a finance, strategy, or consulting role.

• Experience supporting Product & Technology organizations and familiarity with how product roadmaps and tech investments translate into financial plans.

• Familiarity with Workday, Oracle Cloud, and Tableau or comparable planning and reporting tools.

• Demonstrated track record of designing or improving investment governance, portfolio management, or capital allocation processes.
