The Business Performance & Analytics Manager is responsible for transforming financial, operational, project, workforce, and business data into actionable intelligence that supports profitable growth and executive decision-making. Working closely with senior leadership, Operations, Project Management, Project Controls, Estimating, Accounting, and other functional leaders, the Manager develops business performance reporting, forecasting, and analytical tools that identify trends, risks, opportunities, and the operational drivers behind financial results.

The role spans both levels of the business, from consolidated company and business-unit financial performance down to individual project economics, and requires a candidate who can step in immediately and deliver analysis with minimal ramp-up. This is not an accounting or controllership position; it is a business analytics and operational performance role focused on helping leadership understand where the business is, why it is there, where it is headed, and what actions should be taken.

The position will be based in our Deer Park, TX office located at 1300 Underwood Road, Deer Park, TX 77536 and will report to Dacon's Senior Vice President. This is currently an individual contributor role with no direct reports. As the business performance function matures, analytical support staff may be added, and the Manager would be expected to help define, onboard, and develop that team.

Employee may be called upon to perform any or all of the following functions:

• Analyze revenue, gross profit, gross margin, cost, backlog, productivity, labor, and other key business indicators at both the consolidated business level and the individual project level; evaluate actual performance against budget, forecast, estimate, and strategic targets.
• Develop and maintain executive dashboards, scorecards, and management reporting that integrate financial, project, workforce, scheduling, equipment, and operational data into a consolidated view of business performance; establish and maintain the leading and lagging key performance indicators that support company financial, operational, and strategic objectives.
• Identify the operational drivers behind favorable and unfavorable financial performance and perform root-cause analysis of significant variances, trends, and emerging risks.
• Develop forward-looking revenue, gross profit, manhour, workforce, and capacity forecasts in coordination with Operations, Project Management, Project Controls, Estimating, and Accounting, including backlog and pipeline conversion analysis to assess future workload, resource requirements, and organizational capacity.
• Provide portfolio-level visibility into project performance, including margin movement, productivity, cost-to-complete trends, schedule risk, forecast accuracy, and estimate-to-actual performance.
• Develop scenario models and business cases to evaluate growth opportunities, market changes, organizational investments, capital decisions, and operating strategies.
• Prepare concise executive-level business performance reviews that communicate key findings, risks, opportunities, and recommended management actions.
• Partner with the Controller and Accounting organization to use accurate financial information as an input to operational analysis while maintaining clear separation from accounting ownership and financial reporting responsibilities.
• Support annual budgeting, strategic planning, and long-range business planning through data-driven analysis, forecasting, and performance modeling.
• Perform special projects and complete other duties as assigned or requested.

• Improve management decision-making by converting complex financial and operational information into clear, actionable business intelligence.
• Provide earlier visibility into margin pressure, productivity trends, workforce constraints, project risk, and forecast changes so leadership can take corrective action sooner.
• Help Dacon move from reporting historical results to anticipating future results and actively managing the business toward its strategic and financial objectives.

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Economics, Construction Management,…
