Manager, FP&A Financial Systems
About The Position
Ferrara is creating this role to own the daily maintenance and evolution of its finance technology stack as the company grows through acquisitions, technology upgrades, and increasing needs for analytics and efficiency. The Financial Systems FP&A Manager will oversee Oracle EPM applications EPBCS (planning and budgeting) and PCM (profitability and cost allocation), and support FP&A processes and cross-functional integration for accurate forecasting, planning, and reporting. The position combines Oracle EPM technical expertise with an understanding of business needs and financial impact. The role is based in Chicago and is hybrid. Because of its highly interactive, team-based nature, in-person attendance for most of the workweek—three or more days—is essential. The manager will work with Finance, IT, external consultants, and a managed services provider, and will support end users and help desk requests.
