Finance Manager, IMR Program Lead, FP&A

Job :  |  Services LLC

The Finance Manager, IMR Lead role, within SPS FP&A, is a highly visible finance role that requires strong program management skills to drive complex, cross‑functional work streams  will not just report numbers; you will challenge assumptions, identify risks, build scalable financial models, manage multi‑stakeholder programs end‑to‑end, and influence decisions that impact $0.6Bn+ in OpEx spend. A key aspect of this role is serving as the conduit between SPS business leaders and the corporate Stores Tech Finance (STF) team, ensuring alignment on IMR allocation methodology, rate assumptions, and planning outputs.

For IMR (~85% of the role), you will own the end‑to‑end financial lifecycle: driving planning cycles (OP1, OP2, 3YF, Guidance), managing fleet‑level submissions and benefit entitlement tracking across multiple business verticals, and ensuring cross‑functional alignment between Finance, business teams, and senior leadership. For SPS Owned OpEx (~15%), you will manage reporting and controllership for discretionary spend categories such as marketing, software spend, T&E, ensuring accurate accruals, variance analysis, and timely reporting to leadership.

• Act as the primary Finance POC for IMR within SPS and serve as the conduit between SPS business leaders and the corporate Stores Tech Finance (STF) team; represent SPS in STF‑led forums and translate STF guidance into actionable inputs for SPS stakeholders.
• Track OV‑DIG efficiency metrics, identify optimization opportunities, and quantify financial impact of proposed changes.
• Lead monthly stakeholder review to surface IMR spend risks early and drive accountability; reconcile variances, identify cost drivers, and deliver narratives to senior leadership through MFRs, QFRs; maintain RACI framework.
• Controllership: validate rate cards, review benefit entitlement assumptions, and model scenarios to inform decision‑making.
• Lead automation efforts to reduce manual work and improve reporting accuracy through Quick Sight dashboards for real‑time IMR spend visibility.
• Manage reporting and controllership for SPS Owned OpEx categories (e.g., marketing spend, discretionary operational expenditures).
• Deliver variance analysis and spend narratives for SPS Owned OpEx to finance leadership; surface trends, risks, and opportunities for cost optimization.
