About The Position

Seeking a senior executive to design future state Financial Planning & Analysis processes with a focus on enabling a business performance management system that connects strategy, financial plans, and operational plans and execution. This role will partner with other FP&A leaders to design AI-native planning, forecasting, scenario, and insight-generation processes that reduce manual effort, improve cycle time, and increase predictive decision support. It involves assessing the need for, designing, and implementing an enterprise Integrated Business Planning (IBP) model, including governance forums, cadence, decision inputs, and clear connection points to leadership routines. The role ensures FP&A processes support and enable IBP by aligning planning cycles, forecast outputs, performance reviews, and executive decision integration. It also defines and influences the advancement of Extended Planning & Analysis (xP&A) capabilities that connect operational plans—such as workforce, sales, volume, capacity, and delivery—with financial outcomes. The Head of FP&A Process Design and Integration will drive enterprise planning coherence by working with the FP&A methodologies and governance team to align assumptions, business drivers, timelines, methodologies, and decision outputs across Corporate Finance, Business Line Finance, Strategy, and functional partners. The goal is to eliminate fragmented planning approaches and shadow models through standardized constructs, integrated data flows, clear ownership, and scalable process design. This position will partner with Finance, Strategy, HR, Sales, technology, and other xP&A partners to create one interconnected enterprise operating plan. Continuous improvement of enterprise planning, scenario depth, sensitivity analysis, and choice architecture is expected so leaders can evaluate growth, cost, capital, capacity, and execution trade-offs with greater confidence.
