Reporting to the Head of Maritime Finance, this role owns division-level FP&A consolidation, one reconciled, audit-ready view of Maritime's financials across business lines, products, and programs, and leads the high-value strategic initiatives that fall outside recurring business-line finance responsibilities as Maritime continues to rapidly scale, recommending and executing the strategies that drive both top- and bottom-line impact. You will own the division’s consolidated financial picture, create dedicated ownership for high-impact initiatives that extend beyond recurring FP&A and business-line finance work, and present findings and recommendations directly to senior leadership.

The work runs cross-functionally across Division Operations, Production Finance, Production, Supply and Demand Planning, Program Management, Inventory Management, Data, Product, and Engineering.

• Serve as a force multiplier to the Head of Finance and business-line finance leaders, providing leadership where division-level priorities require coordination across multiple businesses or functions, guiding junior analysts on consolidation and IRAD work without formal management responsibility, and implementing best practices and tools to ensure a well-controlled yet flexible finance organization.
• Develop deep relationships with our customers (both internal and external) and oversee customer program reporting and monthly financial status reporting, partnering with billing on invoicing accuracy.
• Own financial analysis and decision support for emerging Maritime priorities, including new…
