What will you do?

A day in the life of a Senior Manager, AI Enablement Enterprise FP&A at VF looks a little like this.

As the Sr. Manager, AI Enablement, Enterprise FP&A, you will serve as the subject matter expert who turns artificial intelligence capability into working solutions for the Enterprise FP&A organization. Partnering directly with the VP, Enterprise FP&A, you will execute the AI projects prioritized by finance leadership, taking each from requirements through prototype, deployment, and adoption in close partnership with Digital Technology (DT). Equally important, you will bring the team along, building AI literacy and hands-on capability across FP&A so that these tools become part of how the organization works rather than the specialty of one person. This is an individual contributor role that delivers through hands-on building, teaching, and influence across brands, regions, and the enterprise.

Let’s break down that day-in-the-life a bit more.

Share new tools, techniques, and practical use cases with the team as capabilities evolve, translating what is possible into what is useful for FP&A

Cultivate and support a network of champions and power users across brands and regions to extend capability beyond a single individual
