People Finance Business Partner - HR

Location:

Irving, Texas- onsite role

The People Finance Business Partner is the financial and analytical backbone of our client's people team. This person turns people activity into hard dollars and serves as the bridge between the People team and Finance. The role has three parts: modeling exactly how pay and benefits change for employees when our client acquires a company; leading the analytical partnership between the People team and Finance and Accounting on hard-dollar costs such as health insurance and 401(k);

and owning the People team’s full operating budget across all five functional leaders. The right person is genuinely strong with numbers, fluent in how compensation and benefits cost out, and comfortable sitting across the table from Finance as a peer.

• Build and maintain a per-employee impact model for every acquisition — the dollar delta between the acquired company’s programs and our client's across healthcare premiums, PTO accruals and payout, family leave, holidays, commissions and variable pay, and HSA/FSA contributions.

• Serve as the People team’s primary point of contact to Finance and Accounting on hard-dollar people costs.

• Own the full People team operating budget across all five functional leaders — Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, Learning & Development, and the others — covering headcount, systems, travel, and other expenses.
• Partner with each functional leader to build, maintain, and reconcile their portion of the budget and keep it accurate throughout the year.
• Track actuals against plan, flag variances early, and give leaders and the Director a clear, current picture at any point in the cycle.
• Serve as the single point of accountability for budget accuracy, taking ownership of this off the Chief People Officer’s plate.
• Maintain reporting and scorecards across acquisitions, people costs, and budget status; contribute structured data to the Director’s Power BI executive dashboard.
• Build repeatable models, templates, and reporting so each cycle is faster and cleaner than the last, and the work never depends on one person’s tribal knowledge.
