Operations Management Jobs 2026 (Now Hiring) – Smart Auto Apply

About the Role

Gap Inc. Finance spans FP&A, Controllership, Treasury, Tax, Brand Finance, Global Business Services, and Procurement across a $16B enterprise. We’re shifting to an empowered product model, and Finance is the proving ground.You’ll be the day-to-day operational leader for Finance technology. Your VP sets the executive frame; you make it real — owning strategy execution, leading the product team, and building the working partnerships with Finance leadership that turn a service relationship into a strategic one.You’re walking into a portfolio mid-transformation. Multiple PdMs touch Finance workstreams today and Finance experiences it as fragmented. The delivery model is evolving. Your job: unify the portfolio, stabilize delivery, partner with Finance leaders as a credible peer, and prove the product model delivers.

What You'll Do

Unified Portfolio Leadership

• Consolidate distributed Finance PdM coverage into one coordinated team with a single roadmap narrative. Finance should see one front door, not six backlogs.

• Establish the operating rhythm, communication cadence, and portfolio governance that makes unified coverage real.

Product Strategy & Execution

• Co-develop the Finance product strategy with the VP. Own execution across Oracle Fusion/EPM, Anaplan, Coupa, and the reporting ecosystem.

• Drive the Finance AI strategy — where AI changes how Finance operates vs. where it’s theater. Build the case, sequence the bets, manage expectations.

• Make prioritization decisions grounded in evidence. Defend them.

Discovery & Outcomes

• Lead continuous discovery — regular contact with Finance users, prototype testing, evidence-based prioritization. Own business outcomes, not delivery metrics.

• Bring data-driven perspective to shared decisions with Finance leadership. When you disagree on priorities, bring evidence and options — not pushback.

Team Leadership

• Lead and develop the Finance product team. Coaching cadence, capability assessment, development plans. Your team learns the craft by watching you practice it.

• Model the product operating model in an enterprise Finance context where SOX compliance and month-end close aren’t optional.

Stakeholder Partnership

• Be the consistent, credible GTS presence across Finance Leadership Team domains: GBS, Finance Technology, Controllership, Finance CoE, Brand Finance, Corp Finance & Treasury, Tax & Risk.

• Know when to push, when to align, when to escalate to your VP, and when to make someone else the hero.

Delivery Stewardship

• Keep Finance systems stable during transformation — month-end close, quarter-end, SOX controls. The lights stay on.

• Navigate an evolving delivery model with hybrid on/offshore teams. Build productive partnerships, maintain continuity, and ensure Finance doesn’t feel the turbulence.

Who You Are

Product Management Leadership. 10+ years enterprise PdM, 3+ leading other PMs. You’ve run product teams, not managed backlogs.

Finance Domain Fluency. You know why the close calendar is sacred, what SOX means for system changes, and how FP&A and Controllership interact. Finance leaders recognize you as credible.

Executive Communication. You distill complexity into decisions, prepare for every question before the meeting, and produce materials executives act on.

Transformation Resilience. You’ve parachuted into an in-flight transformation — delivery model shifting, trust being built, multiple workstreams competing. You don’t quit when it gets messy.

AI as Product Strategy. You use LLMs daily as a force multiplier — analysis, executive materials, knowledge synthesis. Beyond personal productivity, you evaluate where AI creates genuine value in Finance workflows: close automation, anomaly detection, planning intelligence, reporting rationalization. You know the difference between a transformative use case and a demo, and you bring that judgment to every investment decision.

Strongly Preferred

• Oracle Finance platform experience (Fusion, EPM, ARCS).

• Anaplan or enterprise planning platform experience.

• Retail, CPG, or multi-brand enterprise background.

• MBA, CPA, CFA, or Big 4 consulting background.

• SVPG or equivalent product operating model fluency.
