Why This Role
The Growth Office is a new and strategically important function at Kelly - and this role is at the center of building its financial foundation. As the GO stands up and integrates into Kelly's broader operating structure, the Finance Support role be the connective tissue between the GO, Kelly's ETM, SETT, and EDU finance teams, and the Sales COE, ensuring that commercial activity, workforce analytics, and financial reporting are aligned and visible across the enterprise.
This is a build role. The scope will evolve as the GO matures, and the allocations reflect that - equal weight across four areas by design, recognizing that what matters most will shift over time. The right person is energized by that ambiguity and ready to grow into broader finance leadership as the function develops.
About the Role
The Finance Support, Growth Office is the primary finance support for GO leadership and a key collaborator across Kelly's ETM, SETT, and EDU finance functions and the Sales COE. The role spans four equally weighted areas: cross-BU process integration, business partnership and strategic account support, workforce and sales pipeline analytics, and FP&A.
This is not a traditional close-and-report finance role. The GO Finance Support will spend as much time building analytics frameworks and partnering on commercial decisions as on planning and forecasting - and will be expected to create structure in areas where none yet exists.
