Job Level

Lead

About the role

  • Define and maintain a multi‑horizon strategy and roadmap for FP&A technology modernization, aligned to business priorities and measurable outcomes.
  • Establish a clear “north star” for planning and forecasting experiences across Finance, focusing on improved agility, transparency into performance drivers, and better decision support.
  • Drive investment tradeoffs and sequencing decisions across capabilities (planning, forecasting, scenario modeling, variance explanation, and performance measurement) to deliver value iteratively.
  • Lead the buildout of planning and forecasting capabilities that connect financial results to operational and financial drivers and enable scenario‑based, forward‑looking insights.
  • Establish standards and governance for planning constructs (e.g., drivers, assumptions, scenarios, and model usage) to support enterprise consistency while allowing fit‑for‑purpose flexibility.
  • Partner with Finance stakeholders to identify and prioritize the most impactful drivers and KPIs—driver-based models focus on a smaller set of high‑leverage inputs to forecast broader financial outputs, improving speed and usability.
  • Run centralized intake and prioritization for the FP&A modernization portfolio, translating requests into clear capability outcomes, sequencing, and measurable success criteria.
  • Provide strong cross‑functional leadership across business and technical partners to deliver capabilities from discovery through launch, adoption, and continuous improvement.
  • Ensure delivery plans incorporate risk management, dependencies, and readiness activities appropriate for Finance environments where planning outputs may inform material decisions.
  • Partner with data/technology teams to ensure FP&A solutions are supported by reliable data pipelines, consistent definitions, and appropriate controls.
  • Ensure solutions are scalable and reusable across segments, reducing proliferation of one‑off tools and spreadsheet-heavy processes over time.
  • Drive adoption and sustained usage through stakeholder engagement, enablement plans, training, and feedback loops.
  • Define and track outcomes such as forecast accuracy improvement, planning cycle‑time reduction, scenario agility, and user adoption, iterating based on results.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience leading complex initiatives in FP&A, finance transformation, planning systems, analytics enablement, or related domains, with increasing scope and accountability.
  • 3+ years of leadership experience (direct people leadership and/or leading large cross‑functional delivery teams).
  • Demonstrated ability to translate business needs into strategy, roadmaps, and measurable outcomes—balancing speed, quality, and stakeholder alignment.
  • Strong working knowledge of FP&A planning and forecasting processes and the ability to improve them through systems, data, and operating model changes.
  • Executive communication and influence skills, including the ability to present tradeoffs and recommendations to senior leadership.
  • Experience implementing or modernizing driver‑based planning or scenario modeling approaches (linking operational drivers to financial outputs).
  • Familiarity with modern planning platforms and ecosystems (e.g., enterprise planning tools, analytics tooling, integration patterns), without requiring a specific vendor background.
  • Experience working in regulated or control‑oriented environments where planning and forecasting outputs require defensibility and disciplined change management.
Benefits
  • Affordable medical plan options
  • 401(k) plan (including matching company contributions)
  • Employee stock purchase plan
  • No-cost programs for all colleagues including wellness screenings, tobacco cessation and weight management programs
  • Confidential counseling and financial coaching
  • Benefit solutions that address different needs and preferences of our colleagues including paid time off, flexible work schedules, family leave, dependent care resources, colleague assistance programs, tuition assistance, retiree medical access and many other benefits depending on eligibility
