What We’re Looking For:

At GNC we embrace a “Live Well” philosophy, fostering a dynamic environment where innovation meets passion.  Whether someone is an athlete or just starting to focus on their health, we want to deliver the cutting-edge products they deserve. We are looking for an individual who is excited and eager to play a pivotal role in driving excellence in the health and wellness industry. This position offers the opportunity to engage in a collaborative environment where you will make a personal impact every day. 

GNC is modernizing its technology landscape - evolving our ecommerce and martech ecosystem, strengthening cyber and infrastructure foundations, and building a new cloud-first data platform. As we accelerate this transformation, we need tighter portfolio-level financial discipline: clear budgeting, rigorous variance management, transparent capitalization/opex tracking, and crisp decision support on investments.

We’re hiring a Project Manager, Technology Finance who sits at the intersection of technology portfolio management and finance. This role partners with Technology leaders, Procurement, and Corporate Finance to manage the financial operating cadence of the technology organization: budgets, forecasts, vendor spend visibility, portfolio reporting, business case support, and investment governance.

This is a role for someone who is fluent in how technology work gets delivered (roadmaps, programs, agile funding, dependencies) and equally fluent in how financial decisions get made (budgeting, forecasting, capitalization, ROI/NPV logic, variance analysis).

What You’ll Do:

This is a Full-Time Salary Position

The Project Manager, Technology Finance is responsible for managing financial planning, governance, and reporting for technology initiatives across the organization. This role partners closely with IT leadership, Finance, PMO, and business stakeholders to ensure technology investments are planned, tracked, and executed within approved budgets while delivering measurable business value.

Run the Technology Finance Operating Cadence

• Build and manage monthly/quarterly technology portfolio reporting: budget vs. actuals, forecast, run vs. change, and key drivers of variance.
• Partner with Tech leaders to translate roadmaps into funding plans and rolling forecasts (not once-a-year budgeting).
• Maintain clean portfolio financials across labor, vendors, cloud spend, and project allocations.

Portfolio Investment Management

• Support investment intake and prioritization by producing apples-to-apples cost/benefit views, scenarios, and tradeoffs.
• Help leaders make decisions using crisp analysis: “what are we buying, what value do we expect, what are the risks, and what’s the payback?”

Program Financial Management (Capex/Opex + Vendor Spend)

• Maintain program-level financial workbooks and controls: PO tracking, accrual coordination, invoice validation, and vendor burn management.
• Coordinate with Procurement and vendors to improve transparency on SOWs, milestones, and change orders.

Cloud and Platform Financial Hygiene (FinOps-Adjacent)

• Partner with Cloud/Infrastructure and Engineering teams to support forecasting and cost drivers for cloud workloads (e.g., migrations, new data pipelines, AI workloads, traffic growth).
• Help evolve practical controls and reporting that move us from “cost surprise” to “cost planning.”

Tools, Data, and Automation

• Become a power user of finance + portfolio tooling
• Drive process improvements that reduce manual work, improve auditability, and increase confidence in numbers.

What Success Looks Like

• Leadership has a reliable, repeatable view of technology spend and forecast (by domain, program, vendor, and run/change).
• Budget variance is explained quickly with clear drivers, and course-corrections happen early.
• Investment decisions are supported by consistent business cases and scenario views.
• Vendor financial management is tighter: fewer surprises, better governance, cleaner close.
• Cloud/platform cost changes are forecastable and tied to roadmap decisions (FinOps-style discipline).

Environmental Factors & Working Schedule:

• Hybrid work environment, 3 days in-person attendance (Pittsburgh, PA) in addition to ability to work remotely.
• Regularly required to stand; walk; sit; use hands or fingers to handle or feel; reach with hands and arms; stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl; and talk or hear
• Sedentary work. Exerting up to 10 pounds of force occasionally and/or negligible amount of force frequently or constantly to lift, carry, push, pull or otherwise move objects. Repetitive motion. Substantial movements (motions) of the wrists, hands, and/or fingers. The worker is required to have close visual acuity to perform an activity such as: preparing and analyzing data and figures; transcribing; viewing a computer terminal; extensive reading.
• Work is performed in an office environment and requires the ability to operate standard office equipment and keyboards.
• Specific vision abilities required by this job include long periods of computer screen usage, close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and ability to adjust focus
• The noise level in the work environment is usually low/moderate

QUALIFICATIONS:

• PMP / PMI, Agile finance experience.
• 5–8+ years in a role spanning technology portfolio/program management + finance (Technology Finance, IT PMO Finance, TBM/Apptio, Corporate FP&A supporting Technology, or similar).
• Demonstrated experience owning budgets/forecasts for complex portfolios (multiple programs, vendors, and workstreams).
• Retail, ecommerce, consumer, or omnichannel environments preferred (where digital roadmaps and vendor ecosystems are sizable and fast-moving).
• Strong command of budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and financial controls.
