Grow Your Career with GTT!
Join GTT to be part of a global mission to simply and securely connect people and data through innovative, AI-driven solutions. We empower curious, adaptive professionals to take ownership of their work, offering a culture where your ideas have a visible, real-world reach. If you are energized by complex challenges and a supportive team that lifts each other up, GTT is the place to build a rewarding career.
Redefine how financial integrity, automation, and operational excellence scale across a global enterprise.
At GTT, we’re looking for a transformative leader who can lead enterprise‑wide initiatives that protect margin, improve cost efficiency, and modernize finance‑adjacent operations through automation and data‑driven execution. As the Senior Director of Finance Assurance & Transformation, you will own the outcomes that protect the core of our business ensuring accuracy, reliability, and scalability across processes that directly influence revenue, cost of delivery, and financial performance.
This role is distinct from traditional Finance leadership positions, unlike those, this position operates horizontally across Finance, Operations, Sales, Product, IT, and Legal to build upon, integrate, and industrialize the work of those teams - not to duplicate it. Success is measured by tangible business outcomes (margin protection, cost efficiency, data reliability), not by reports produced or processes owned.
If you thrive in ambiguity, see patterns in complexity, and love transforming manual, error‑prone processes into intelligent, technology‑enabled systems, this is your opportunity to make enterprise‑wide impact. The role combines deep operational and financial assurance expertise with hands‑on transformation leadership, including robotic process automation (RPA), analytics, AI‑enabled automation, and system modernization. What you deliver will touch every corner of GTT, shaping the integrity of our data, the accuracy of our financials, and the efficiency of our operations.
