Jeppesen Fore Flight is at a defining moment. Backed by Thoma Bravo and combining Jeppesen’s 90-year legacy with Fore Flight’s culture of innovation, we are building the most unified, intelligent aviation software platform in the world – serving commercial airlines, business aviation, military, and general aviation operators globally.

M&A is core to our growth strategy, and rigorous financial analysis is what turns deal theses into realized returns. As Director, Financial Planning & Analysis – M&A, you will own the financial modeling, financial due diligence, and post-merger financial tracking that underpin every acquisition we make. You’ll build the models that shape go/no-go decisions, lead financial due diligence on targets, and stand up the reporting that holds every deal accountable to the value it projected.

This role is embedded in the core FP&A organization, not a standalone deal team – so alongside deal work, you’ll support the annual operating plan, monthly forecasting and tracking, and business-partner reporting that the broader FP&A team owns year-round. When M&A activity is active, deal modeling, financial diligence, and integration tracking will be your primary focus; when the pipeline is quieter, you’ll pick up planning, budgeting, and variance analysis work alongside the rest of FP&A.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for a rigorous, detail-driven finance leader who wants to own the numbers that directly impact the company’s growth strategy – on deals and in the core business.

Reporting directly to the SVP, Financial Planning & Analysis, and partnering closely with Accounting, Corporate Development, Product, GTM and other functional leaders, you will sit at the center of Jeppesen Fore Flight’s most consequential financial decisions.
