Position Summary 

The FP&A Manager will serve as a key strategic finance partner, working directly with the CFO, executive leadership team, and our private equity sponsor to drive financial planning, business performance, and strategic decision-making. 

This is far more than a traditional budgeting role. The position offers visibility into mergers and acquisitions, Board reporting, capital raising, operational analytics, integration efforts, and executive decision-making. The ideal candidate enjoys solving complex business problems, building scalable financial processes, and wearing multiple hats in a rapidly growing organization. 

This position offers significant career growth as the company continues its acquisition strategy and expands its finance organization.

• Drive the budgeting and forecasting processes across multiple operating entities. 
• Develop integrated financial models supporting strategic planning and forecasting. 
• Prepare monthly reporting packages for the executive team and private equity sponsor. 
• Partner with operational leaders to identify trends, opportunities, and risks affecting the business. 
• Build dashboards and KPIs to improve visibility into company performance. 

Executive & Private Equity Reporting 

• Work closely with the private equity firm to prepare Board materials and reporting packages. 
• Support ad hoc requests related to M&A and investor relations. 
• Assist with lender reporting and covenant compliance. 
• Provide financial insights that support executive decision-making. 

Strategic Finance 

• Support acquisition due diligence, financial modeling, and post-acquisition integration. 
• Evaluate investment opportunities, capital projects, and strategic initiatives. 
• Perform profitability analyses by business unit, geography, customer segment, and product line. 
• Identify opportunities to improve margins, cash flow, and operational efficiency. 

Business Partnership 

• Work cross-functionally with Accounting, Operations, Sales, HR, and executive leadership.

What Success Looks Like 

In this role, you will: 

• Become a trusted advisor to the CFO and executive leadership team. 
• Deliver timely, insightful reporting that improves business decisions.

• Evaluate and integrate acquisitions. 
• Provide financial analysis with a founder mentality that creates value across the organization. 

Why Join Matador Gas & Power? 

This is a rare opportunity to help build a high-growth energy platform and to shape its finance function as it scales. You won't be one more analyst in a large corporate structure, you will be part of a lean team and play an integral part in how decisions are made. In part, you will help determine how the company grows, with a direct line to the CFO, executive team, and our private equity sponsor. 

What makes this role different: 

• A seat at the table: Contribute to decisions on acquisitions, capital allocation, and growth strategy. 
• M&A from the front row: Play a hands-on role in evaluating, financing, and integrating acquisitions.  
• Room to grow: As the platform scales, you will be positioned to take on greater responsibilities. 
• Broad scope: Reach well beyond traditional FP&A into operations, strategy, and investor relations, building a versatile skill set that accelerates your career. 
• Real impact: Work in an entrepreneurial culture where good ideas are heard, strong execution is rewarded, and your contributions are visible at the highest levels. 

If you're looking for a role where you can develop new skillsets, accelerate your career, and build something alongside a company with ambitious expansion plans, we'd love to hear from you.
