About The Position

The Director of FP&A will serve as the strategic finance leader and primary business partner to the CFO, CEO, and executive leadership team. This role is responsible for driving enterprise-wide financial planning, forecasting, operational analytics, capital allocation, and long-range strategic decision-making across Strata’s operating companies, including multiple service organizations and Strata’s IPP and development business. This is not a traditional reporting role. The ideal candidate must proactively identify risks and opportunities, provide forward-looking guidance, challenge assumptions, and help leadership understand the trajectory of the business. The Director of FP&A must translate complex operational and financial data into actionable insights that drive profitability, liquidity, growth, and execution discipline. This position requires a highly analytical and operationally engaged finance leader who can operate at both strategic and tactical levels in a fast-paced, project-driven infrastructure business. This role will be responsible for Strata’s corporate model and long-term business planning.
