Finance Manager, Central Finance Team
The goal of our Central Finance Team (CFT) is to provide key insights that help Microsoft make better financial and business decisions. Our team is at the hub of Microsoft's financial activities, being a key strategic partner to all sides of the business and serving a diverse set of stakeholders: CFOs (Chief Financial Officers), leadership team, engineering groups, and sales and marketing teams. The Finance Manager, Central Finance Team, role cuts across revenue, gross margin and planning initiatives with executive presence to land key messages with Microsoft's leadership team. You will drive COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) / Capex (capital expenditures) analytics for the company, leveraging that knowledge to deliver insights through Quarter Close and Forecast process and support strategic presentations to our executives, board, and sales organization. We are looking for a Finance professional with adept modeling and analytical skills to successfully analyze Microsoft revenue and gross margin drivers, comfortably operate in ambiguity/whitespace topics, and create frameworks as we navigate through the AI (artificial intelligence) era. Additionally, building cross-team relationships effectively and communicating clearly and succinctly to management will be critical for this role. Microsofts mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond. In alignment with our Microsoft values, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment for all employees to positively impact our culture every day.
