The Opportunity

The Senior Analyst - CFO AI Intake, Prioritization & Governance supports the CFO organization in establishing and operating a formal process for AI intake, evaluation, prioritization, governance, and portfolio reporting. This role helps ensure AI use cases across Finance are reviewed consistently, aligned to business priorities, and governed in accordance with enterprise risk, control, and model management expectations.

The Senior Analyst works across CFO business teams, technology, data, risk, and control partners to coordinate AI demand intake, facilitate prioritization, support governance routines, and provide transparency into portfolio decisions, risks, and delivery status. The role also helps drive measurable business value by ensuring proposed AI use cases include defined objectives, success metrics, and value hypotheses, and that realized benefits are tracked over time.

In addition, this position supports responsible AI adoption across the CFO organization by coordinating stakeholder engagement, and support change enablement activities, including Copilot rollout and the CFO change champion network.
