If you're seeking an exciting, high-growth environment where your contributions truly matter, we want to hear from you! Join us, and together, let's create a future of financial empowerment.

As the Senior Manager, Technology Business Management, reporting to the Director of IT Planning and Transformation, you will be a strategic and operational partner to the CIO and the IT Leadership Team. In this highly visible role, you'll play a pivotal part in executing goeasy's technology strategy and operations.

Your focus will be on driving operational excellence across IT by establishing, monitoring, and reporting on key performance indicators (KPIs) that measure progress, effectiveness, and the impact of IT's strategic and operational plans. You'll oversee strategic investments, initiative tracking, resource planning, and governance routines - ensuring IT execution is disciplined, transparent, and aligned with corporate priorities, all through a lens tailored to the needs of IT leadership.

While this role sits within the IT department due to the specialized knowledge required in technology operations, resource and capacity planning, and delivery models (Waterfall, Agile, Hybrid, and Product vs. Project Management), you'll also collaborate cross-functionally. Your work will ensure IT initiatives and investments are aligned with enterprise-wide business and financial frameworks - month by month, week by week, and day by day, in a rolling and adaptive manner.

  • Providing insights to guide IT's evolution across cost centers, potential revenue centers, and KPI centers (e.g., OPEX vs. CAPEX, Run vs. Grow vs. Transform).
  • Communicating portfolio and operational risks and opportunities with a deep understanding of technology drivers.

  • Developing compelling business cases, investment narratives, and KPI drivers to support IT's financial planning.
  • Monitoring spend across IT's project portfolio and operating budgets, coordinating with SMEs and PMs to manage variances, forecasts, accruals, and milestones.
  • Supporting Finance's “IT as a Business Unit” model by operationalizing policies, controls, and governance routines for spend tracking and audit compliance.

• Building trusted relationships and influencing stakeholders across both business and technical domains.
• Applying strong analytical and communication skills to distill complex information into clear, actionable recommendations.

• Utilizing report visualization tools such as MicroStrategy, Power BI, Microsoft D365, OneStream, and ERP financial systems; familiarity with PPM tools is a plus.
• Thriving in fast-paced environments, adapting to change, and transforming ambiguity into structured, actionable insights with an entrepreneurial mindset.
