About the role

  • Own and operate the full FP&A lifecycle: annual budget, rolling forecasts, long-range planning, and monthly performance management
  • Serve as the primary finance partner to business units and support functions
  • Build and maintain integrated financial models (P&L, cash flow, working capital, capacity, scenario modeling)
  • Own management reporting and KPI cadence — define the metrics, create the dashboards, and run the rhythm of the business
  • Translate operational drivers into financial insight and decision support
  • Analyze COGS, margins, working capital, and capital efficiency to surface actionable improvement opportunities
  • Proactively identify risks, tradeoffs, and performance gaps; bring recommendations, not just analysis
  • Drive improvements to FP&A systems, tooling, and data flows as the company scales
  • Partner closely with Accounting on forecast accuracy, close alignment, and GAAP-to-operational bridge
  • Support strategic initiatives including capacity expansion, new product launches, M&A, pricing decisions, and investment cases
  • Act as a thought partner to the SVP of Finance on company-wide planning, investor reporting, and strategic finance priorities
  • Opportunity to grow into broader Strategic Finance/M&A work as the company scales

Requirements

  • 6–10+ years of experience in FP&A, Strategic Finance, IB/Consulting + operating company, or similar analytical leadership roles
  • Proven experience in a scaling, fast-paced organization — ideally manufacturing, industrial, chemicals or other inventory-heavy businesses
  • Strong understanding of cost accounting, manufacturing economics, and operational KPIs
  • Track record of owning zero-base budgeting and planning processes end-to-end (budgeting, forecasting, reporting cadence)
  • Advanced financial modeling skills (P&L, cash flow, scenario modeling, unit economics)
  • Excellent business partnering skills — able to influence operators and senior leaders with data-backed insight
  • Strong GAAP foundation and ability to bridge accounting to operational forecasting
  • Advanced Excel / financial modeling skills; comfort with manipulating large data sets
  • Highly self-directed; comfortable operating with ambiguity and building structure from scratch
  • Clear communicator who can simplify complex analysis for non-finance stakeholders
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or similar; MBA, CPA, or CFA a plus
  • Familiarity with NetSuite is a plus
