Director, Financial Planning & Analysis

Role Overview

The Director of FP&A will serve as a senior leader within the Finance organization and a critical partner to the SVP of FP&A. This role is built for a highly analytical operator who thrives in the details, can move quickly across complex workstreams, and produces sharp, executive-ready insight under tight deadlines. The Director will own data-driven analysis across the enterprise—including forecasting, budgeting, long-range planning, client and segment performance, and corporate cost management—while also overseeing the Corporate FP&A function, managing the FP&A Manager responsible for Corporate budgeting, departmental P&L reporting, and the enterprise allocations and chargeback process. The Director will combine hands-on analytical leadership with team development and process rigor, ensuring FP&A outputs are accurate, scalable, decision-oriented, and provide actionable insights to senior business leaders.

• Co-lead preparation of financial analysis and materials on for the CEO, Board, C-Suite, and segment-level management, contributing to a cohesive performance narrative across the FP&A organization.
• Drive ad hoc analyses and special projects for senior leadership—jumping across workstreams to provide structured problem-solving, risk assessment, and rapid quantitative answers to emerging business questions.
• Partner with the SVP of FP&A on FP&A transformation initiatives—including OneStream implementation, KPI reporting redesign, and Maconomy/PowerBI-enabled dashboards—to enhance scalability, analytical rigor, and decision-readiness of FP&A outputs.
