The opportunityFP&A at BSS is being rebuilt as the analytical engine of the business — owning the budget, the forecast and the long-range plan, and establishing business cases as the common language for every investment decision we make. You will be a core part of that build, with direct exposure to the CFO, the executive team and our investors.

The role is a business partner first and a modeler second. You will sit with operating leaders, understand what drives their P&L and working capital, and bring that back into forecasts and investment analysis that leadership can act on. Strong performers here grow into FP&A leadership.

What you'll do Budgeting and forecasting
• Build and own driver-based models for the annual budget and rolling forecast across business units, brands and the consolidated company.
• Lead variance analysis against budget, forecast and prior year; explain what happened and what to do about it, not just what the number is.
• Produce the monthly business review package for leadership and investor reporting, with the bridges and KPIs that show how the business is actually performing.

Long-term planning and strategy
• Support the three- to five-year plan and value creation initiatives: organic growth, pricing, margin, working capital and the contribution of acquired businesses once they are in the numbers.
• Model scenarios for leadership and investor discussions and help translate strategy into targets and scorecards.

Business case and investment analysis
• Own the business case framework: build and review cases for new initiatives, capital projects and operating investments using discounted cash flow, IRR, NPV and payback.
• Run post-investment reviews so the organization learns what worked and what did not.
• Set the standard for how a business case is built here, and hold it.

Business partnering
• Partner with operating leaders across the business: performance reviews, scorecard support, controllable versus allocated results, and working-capital discipline.
• Translate financial results into operating language and operating questions into financial analysis.

Process, systems and automation
• Reduce spreadsheet sprawl: standardize models, build reusable templates, and move reporting into Power BI and the Dynamics 365 data environment as it matures.
• Partner with the Finance Systems team on planning-tool evaluation and the reporting layer of the new ERP.
• Look continuously for faster, more automated ways to produce the same or better insight.

First-year priorities
1. Deliver the 2027 budget and establish the forecast cadence on a reliable calendar.
2. Stand up the business case framework and templates, with Finance ownership of the analysis on every major 2027 initiative.
3. Build the driver-based model and bridges that underpin the monthly business review.
4. Become the person operating leaders call when they need a number explained or a decision modeled.
5. Automate the recurring monthly reporting pack.
