Director of Financial Planning and Analysis

Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, the Director of FP&A will serve as a strategic finance partner to the executive leadership team. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role focused on three of EMCO's most important value-creation priorities: (1) leading planning, forecasting, cash flow, and management reporting that drive day-to-day decision-making; (2) deploying and scaling — in close partnership with IT — a modern financial reporting / EPM software platform that also serves as the backbone for integrating add-on acquisitions and tracking synergy capture;

and (3) driving rigorous cost and margin analytics across EMCO's blending, packaging, and distribution operations.

This is not a maintenance role. The Director of FP&A will own the deployment of EMCO's financial reporting platform, drive the reporting and analytics that shape commercial and operational decisions, and work directly with the CFO and PE sponsor shaping the future of the business.
