Job Level
About the role
- Own the decision-support financial view of the testing business, translating finance-certified demand (from Demand & Volume Planning), reimbursement performance, and cost inputs into a decision-ready view of revenue, margin, and returns.
- Own the finance partnership with testing Growth Leads, supporting strategy, performance management, and investment tradeoffs.
- Translate company growth targets and certified demand trajectories into a business performance contract with Commercial leadership: the KPIs, milestones, and commitments the business will be run against.
- Lead the testing business’s response to performance variance, converting volume and reimbursement diagnostics into economic implications, risks, and actions for Growth Leads.
- Build and maintain decision-support P&L and ROI frameworks for major testing business lines, reflecting key economic drivers without replicating accounting systems.
- Develop business cases for commercial and product investments (sales capacity, marketing, pricing, pilots, launches), quantifying expected returns, risks, and tradeoffs.
- Drive forward-looking scenario analysis and capital allocation recommendations to evaluate growth opportunities, downside risks, and capital allocation choices for the Testing portfolio.
- Produce clear, board-grade narratives and materials for executive and board forums on testing performance, outlook, and investment decisions.
- Represent Finance’s independent point of view on growth, risk, and returns for the testing business in cross-functional and executive decision processes.
- Manage dedicated analytics and BI resources, setting priorities and ensuring delivery and BI support for the testing business, ensuring scarce resources are focused on the highest-impact questions and metrics.
Requirements

- Demonstrated experience partnering with commercial or GM-like leaders, supporting revenue growth, investment decisions, and performance management in a matrixed organization.
- Strong financial and economic modeling skills, including building driver-based revenue models, ROI and business case analyses, and segment-level P&Ls; able to translate operational inputs into financial implications.
- Proven structured problem-solving ability — can frame ambiguous business questions, design the right analyses, and synthesize results into clear, decision-ready recommendations.
- Comfort working with imperfect, evolving data, including collaborating with forecasting, analytics, and data teams to interpret trends and risks without requiring perfect information.
- Experience supporting executive-level decision making, including preparing board- or C-suite-ready materials that clearly communicate performance, tradeoffs, and risks.
- Strong cross-functional influence and communication skills, able to work credibly with Commercial, Product, Operations, and Finance leaders without formal authority.
