Description
Rather than simply managing budgets and forecasts, you'll serve as a trusted financial partner to senior leaders across Finance, HR, Legal, and Technology, helping drive smarter investments, optimize spending, and influence long-term business strategy.
You'll take ownership of corporate financial planning, forecasting, executive reporting, and capital budgeting, while identifying opportunities to improve processes, leverage automation, and elevate the FP&A function.
What makes this opportunity exciting is the combination of executive exposure, strategic influence, and ownership. You'll have the autonomy to drive meaningful improvements, challenge the status quo, and play a key role in how the business plans and invests for the future.
We're looking for someone who enjoys going beyond the numbers, connecting financial insights to business strategy, and making a measurable impact.
Major Responsibilities/Essential Functions:
Corporate Function Financial Partnership
• Serve as the primary FP&A partner to leaders of Finance, Legal, Human Resources, and Technology; provide financial guidance on operating priorities, spending decisions, and the financial impact of proposed initiatives.
• Develop a deep understanding of expense drivers across supported functions, including compensation and benefits, open positions, contractors, professional services, technology platforms, vendor contracts, and other shared-service costs.
• Lead financial reviews with functional leaders to evaluate performance, challenge assumptions, identify savings opportunities, and recommend actions that align spending with company priorities.
• Partner on business cases, staffing plans, sourcing decisions, and organizational changes, including the assessment of financial trade-offs and potential returns.
Budgeting, Forecasting & Long-Range Planning
• Own the annual operating budget and periodic forecast processes for assigned Corporate functions,
including planning calendars, financial assumptions, submissions, consolidation, and leadership reviews.
• Build and maintain detailed, driver-based models for headcount, compensation, benefits, consulting,
software, and other major cost categories in partnership with HR, Procurement, and functional owners.
• Develop rolling forecasts and multi-year outlooks; evaluate sensitivities, alternative scenarios, emerging
business needs, and risks or opportunities to financial commitments.
• Explain changes from prior forecasts, budget, and actual results; establish clear ownership of assumptions and ensure plans are complete, supportable, and aligned with broader company financial objectives.
Financial Reporting, Analytics & Business Insights
• Lead the preparation and review of monthly and quarterly management reporting for Corporate functions, including actual-to-budget and actual-to-forecast variance analysis, expense trends, and forward-looking commentary.
• Develop concise financial presentations, dashboards, and key performance indicators that equip executives and functional leaders to understand results, manage costs, and make informed decisions.
• Identify root causes of material variances, distinguish timing differences from structural cost changes, and recommend actions to address unfavorable trends or capture opportunities.
• Partner with Accounting during month-end close to review financial results, accruals, allocations, and expense classifications; ensure reporting reflects the underlying business activity.
• Lead ad hoc analysis and financial modeling to support strategic projects, vendor evaluations, organizational decisions, and leadership requests.
Capital Budgeting Investment Oversight
• Own the annual capital budgeting and periodic capital forecast processes, coordinating submissions, approvals, project prioritization, and updates across business and functional stakeholders.
• Maintain reporting and forecasts for approved capital investments, including project-level budgets, spend to date, remaining commitments, expected timing, and anticipated in-service dates.
• Evaluate proposed investments through financial business cases and return measures, such as ROI, payback period, and net present value, when appropriate; highlight trade-offs and help leadership allocate capital.
• Monitor capital spend against approved plans, explain variances, flag timing or funding risks, and support reprioritization decisions and post-investment performance reviews.
• Coordinate with Accounting and project owners on capital versus operating expense treatment, asset placement in service, and related depreciation or amortization forecasts.
Leadership, Controls & Continuous Improvement
• Lead, coach, and develop assigned FP&A team members; set clear expectations for analysis quality, deadlines, accountability, and professional growth.
• Establish consistent planning assumptions, reporting definitions, documentation standards, and review controls to improve accuracy, comparability, and confidence in financial information.
• Improve financial models, reporting tools, data quality, and workflows through standardization and automation; reduce manual effort while increasing the value of analysis provided to the business.
• Proactively communicate issues, recommendations, and decision points to FP&A leadership and key stakeholders; drive initiatives through implementation with limited direction.
ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Perform other duties and support special projects as assigned.
• Comply with applicable company policies, financial controls, and standards.
Required Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field.

• Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills, including driver-based forecasting, scenario analysis, and large-data analysis.
• Experience with enterprise financial systems and planning/reporting tools; strong understanding of the relationship between financial planning, accounting results, and management reporting.
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities, lead cross-functional processes, and deliver accurate work under tight deadlines.
Preferred Qualifications:
