Alpha Alternatives - EPM Overview

Alpha is a global advisory firm focused on alternative investments, financial services, and technology-enabled transformation. We help clients improve reporting processes, governance, and scalability through a combination of business consulting, technology implementation, and deep industry expertise.

Our Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) practice helps clients achieve operational and financial excellence through advanced planning, forecasting, and profitability solutions. We combine the talents of industry leaders and service-delivery experts, pairing hands-on consulting with technology implementation to drive structure, process improvement, and long-term scalability. Our work spans project-based engagements across business consulting, technology solutions, and end-to-end operational improvement.

About the Team

As an Elite Workiva partner, Alpha's Workiva practice is one of our core solution offerings. We're looking for an experienced Manager-level consultant who can step into active client delivery, lead Workiva implementation projects, manage delivery teams, and drive high-quality outcomes across complex reporting and operational initiatives.

This is a hands-on consulting leadership role. The ideal candidate can quickly pick up active projects, understand client requirements, organize workstreams, manage teams, communicate clearly with stakeholders, and drive delivery forward with minimal ramp-up.

  • Support Agile delivery activities, including sprint planning, backlog management, standups, retrospectives, and definition-of-done reviews.
  • Develop and deliver client training, support user acceptance testing, resolve feedback, and help clients understand how to maintain and operate their Workiva solution after go-live.
  • Build trusted relationships with client stakeholders across accounting, finance, reporting, operations, IT, audit, compliance, and executive teams.
  • Proactively identify project risks, dependencies, decisions, and opportunities to expand client value through additional Workiva use cases, optimization, managed services, or future phases.
  • Mentor consultants and senior consultants while supporting Alpha’s internal methodology, accelerators, templates, delivery best practices, and sales pursuits as needed.

  • Ability to support sales pursuits, solution demonstrations, estimates, and statements of work.
  • Strong understanding of reporting operating models and how technology can improve process efficiency, governance, and control.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
