POSITION SUMMARY

The FP&A Manager serves as a critical bridge between financial planning, analytics, and operational execution. This role leads day-to-day FP&A activities while partnering closely with senior leadership to drive budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, and performance management across the organization.

Beyond core FP&A responsibilities, the FP&A Manager is expected to build scalable, efficient planning and reporting processes and leverage modern analytics and AI-enabled tools to enhance insight quality, speed, and decision-making. Success in this role requires the ability to translate complex financial data into clear, actionable recommendations that influence decisions, improve cost discipline, increase profitability, and ensure alignment with overall business strategy.

The FP&A Manager is held to a higher standard than historical accuracy. They are expected to be right about the future. This means building forward-looking models grounded in business drivers, stress-testing assumptions before leadership sees them, and owning forecast accuracy as a performance metric. This role is not a reporting function. It is a predictive intelligence function.
