THE ROLE:
The Senior Manager, Strategic Finance will report to the Director of Strategic Finance and serve as a key member of the AI Group (AIG) Finance team. This role is a finance partner to AI business leaders and cross-functional stakeholders, supporting AMD’s rapidly growing AI business through high-impact AI infrastructure and strategic commercial deals. The role requires significant interaction with senior executives and cross-functional leaders.
This position sits at the intersection of strategy, finance, and execution – owning deal economics, decision support, governance materials, and ongoing executive reporting on in-flight deals and AMD financial exposure. The role works closely with Business Development/GTM, Corporate Development, Product, Treasury, Accounting, Legal, and other partners to ensure financial alignment and execution readiness.
THE PERSON:
We are seeking a strategic, execution-oriented finance leader who thrives in ambiguity and brings strong analytical rigor, sound judgment, and an ownership mindset. You can translate complex deal constructs and financial terms into clear, decision-ready insights for senior leaders, while building strong cross-functional partnerships to drive disciplined execution. You must also take ownership of a new and growing strategic finance function for AIG – improving how the team evaluates deals, monitors and reports financial exposure, and establishes effective ways of working (operating rhythms, governance mechanisms, and cross-functional processes) in a new and rapidly evolving business.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Lead the finance workstreams to drive the assessment and execution of AI strategic deals, analyzing key terms and quantifying financial impacts to AIG, with clear updates and escalations to finance leadership
Prepare and deliver executive readouts for AIG leadership and CFO staff, translating in-flight structures and economics into clear impacts, trade-offs, sensitivities, and decision asks – supporting both formal approvals and fast-turn decisioning during execution
Build and maintain deal models to evaluate economics and financial impacts; develop scenarios based on key operating and market assumptions
Lead risk-related analysis, including valuation/assessment of financial support arrangements and associated financial exposure; partner with Treasury on credit risk and balance sheet considerations
Ensure alignment with Accounting on classification and financial statement impacts of complex deal structures
Own and enhance executive reporting on in-flight deals and AMD financial exposure (including exposure/risk burn-down), and drive actions to mitigate emerging risks
Build post-deal performance reporting (e.g., expected vs. actual economics) and provide periodic updates to business leadership
Identify opportunities and drive initiatives to refine processes, tools, governance cadence, and cross-functional coordination to improve the quality, speed, accuracy, and rigor of deal assessment and monitoring
Build credibility and strong cross-functional partnerships across AI business leadership, Business Development/GTM, Corporate Development, Treasury, Accounting, and Legal to enable crisp ownership, efficient handoffs, and high-quality execution
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Progressive experience in relevant Finance roles (e.g., strategic finance, FP&A), investment banking, corporate development, and/or finance-oriented consulting
- Proven ability to identify key strategic issues, define and perform complex analyses, surface key insights, and influence decisions at the executive level
- Expertise in financial modeling, including forecasting and deal, investment, and/or risk-related analysis (P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow impacts)
- Strong communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate concepts clearly and concisely to diverse audiences
- Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional workstreams and drive alignment/influence outcomes without direct authority
- Self-motivated, intellectually curious, comfortable with ambiguity, and proactive with an ownership-oriented approach to problem solving; able to operate effectively in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
- Semiconductor, technology, or infrastructure experience is preferred
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field
- MBA, CFA, and/or CPA preferred
