Senior Manager – Finance Transformation and Change Management

As Senior Manager – Finance Transformation, you will lead the delivery and adoption of key initiatives that drive the evolution of Aristocrat’s global finance function. This includes managing the Finance Transformation program of initiatives and directly leading the Rolling Forecast project — a cornerstone of our shift toward more agile and data-driven planning.

A critical component of this role is establishing and implementing a systematic change management framework that ensures transformation efforts across Finance are implemented effectively, adopted by employees, and sustained over time. You will design and govern change processes — including stakeholder engagement, communication planning, training coordination, and readiness assessments — to support a consistent and structured approach to change across all finance initiatives.

This role blends strategic program management with change management process ownership, ensuring that transformation projects deliver tangible business outcomes and that new ways of working are fully embedded. You will work independently and collaboratively with global stakeholders, leveraging strong communication, planning, and presentation skills to align teams and drive measurable progress.

What You'll Do

• Manage the Finance Transformation program of initiatives, aligning them with global finance strategy and enterprise objectives.
• Lead the Rolling Forecast initiative, collaborating with FP&A, business leaders, and IT to embed new forecasting processes.
• Develop and maintain transformation roadmaps, tracking achievements, risks, dependencies, and outcomes across multiple projects.
• Provide structured reporting and updates to Finance Leadership and transformation governance forums.
• Build, implement, and maintain a structured change management methodology for Finance transformation initiatives.
• Develop change management plans including communication, collaborator needs analysis, training, adoption tracking, and readiness assessments.
• Partner with initiative owners to ensure all transformation projects incorporate change management guidelines from planning through execution.
• Measure and monitor adoption, engagement, and business readiness, ensuring balanced implementation of new processes and tools.
• Act as the central point of coordination for employee change management activities across Finance initiatives globally.
• Lead and coordinate complex transformation projects, ensuring timely and high-quality delivery.
• Build and maintain project documentation such as charters, project plans, issue logs, and risk registers.
• Develop and deliver high-impact PowerPoint presentations for steering committees, executive updates, and leadership forums.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in business, finance, analytics, or a related field; Master’s degree a plus.
• 8+ years of experience in finance, consulting, or transformation roles, with proven experience managing large-scale programs.
• Strong understanding of change management principles (e.g., Prosci, Kotter, ADKAR) and experience applying them in a structured framework.
• Proven track record of driving transformation projects from build to adoption, including process, system, or organizational changes.
• Excellent project and program management skills, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and collaborators.
• Advanced PowerPoint and presentation skills; able to craft concise, executive-level deliverables.
• Strong communication, collaborator engagement, and influencing capabilities.
• Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and drive tangible results in a fast-paced environment.
• Knowledge of finance processes, forecasting, ERP, and performance management systems preferred.
