Vice President, Financial Consolidation Reporting Applications Lead

Join a team where your application leadership directly supports how the firm closes, forecasts, and plans. You will own critical consolidation platforms and the day-to-day processes that keep Finance moving. This role is built for someone who enjoys operational excellence, clear stakeholder communication, and hands-on systems management. You will help strengthen stability, data integrity, and readiness during high-impact close cycles.

As a Vice President, Financial Consolidation Reporting Applications Lead at JPMorganChase within Consumer & Community Banking Finance, you will be accountable for the systems and applications that underpin the financial consolidation process. You will ensure operational stability, data integrity, and platform readiness across close, forecast, and planning cycles. This is a systems and applications ownership role, not a financial planning and analysis position, and it is designed for someone who thrives in production environments and values reliable data delivery.

You will spend approximately 25% of your time partnering with stakeholders and technology peers to align priorities and execute during close windows, and 75% of your time on hands-on application management and run-the-business execution. Essbase is the primary platform and core skill set for this role, and experience with other online analytical processing technologies will be considered.
