About The Position

Leidos Real Estate and Workplace Solutions Corporate Finance is actively seeking a Lead FP&A Analyst to join our Corporate Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) team. This exciting role offers the opportunity to hone your financial story telling skills starting from detailed analysis and planning to presenting to Senior Leadership. You will consider yourself a Finance Business Partner to the Real Estate and Workplace Solutions Corporate Function, ensuring that functional spending is aligned with company strategy. Responsibilities will include planning, forecasting, reporting, and overall budget maintenance. In addition, you can expect to perform ad hoc modeling and other requests that drive operational and strategic efficiencies within the business. We are looking for someone who has a strong focus on providing professional customer service to line finance teams, program managers, and Directors of Real Estate, ensuring their financial needs are met with accuracy and efficiency. You will have strong communication skills to effectively interpret and summarize financial results, tailoring insights to meet the needs of diverse audiences, including line finance teams, program managers, and senior leadership. At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.” If you’re already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2… good. You’ll fit right in.
