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.

• Perform data validation, reconciliation, and control checks to help ensure the accuracy, completeness, auditability, and reliability of consolidated financial results and reporting outputs.
• Lead incident management activities, including issue triage, escalation, stakeholder communications, root-cause analysis, remediation tracking, and resolution under time-sensitive close or reporting deadlines.
• Partner effectively with Finance, Technology, Operations, and senior stakeholders to align priorities, manage run-the-bank activities, communicate risks, and provide clear recommendations to support informed decision-making.
