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.

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

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