Senior Manager Financial Planning and Analysis
About The Position
Lumen is seeking a Senior Manager, FP&A to support financial leadership for the Technology and Product organization. This is not a traditional reporting role. This role acts as a true extension of senior finance leadership, helping drive clarity, insight, and action across a broad, complex, and evolving set of priorities tied to technology investment and product performance. This individual will operate at the center of a highly matrixed environment, working across Finance, Product, and Engineering teams to gather inputs, challenge assumptions, and assemble a clear, decision-grade financial view. They will take fragmented, sometimes incomplete data and translate it into structured analysis, compelling storytelling, and executive-ready materials that enable faster, higher-confidence decisions.
Requirements
- 7–10+ years of FP&A experience supporting complex product, technology, or engineering organizations
- Strong financial modeling, forecasting, and scenario analysis capabilities
- Experience with product-level financials and P&L governance
- Proven ability to operate effectively in a matrixed environment and influence without direct authority
- Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to distill complexity into clear, executive-level insights
- Comfortable working in ambiguity with a resourceful, creative, and solutions-oriented mindset
- Ability to proactively identify gaps, pursue the right inputs, and deliver thoughtful recommendations
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain clear, integrated financial views across capital investment, operating expense, cash, and product performance, ensuring consistency, transparency, and alignment across multiple data sources
- Develop and enforce product-level P&L governance, including consistent definitions, allocation methodologies, and clear accountability across Product, Technology, and Finance
- Serve as the connector across a matrixed organization, partnering with multiple finance and business teams to gather inputs, reconcile differences, and create a single, credible view of performance and outlook
- Lead the development of executive presentations end-to-end by orchestrating inputs across teams, guiding what is needed, pushing on gaps, and shaping a clear, cohesive storyline for leadership
- Translate complex and fragmented inputs into concise, structured narratives that highlight performance, risks, tradeoffs, and recommended actions for senior leadership
- Lead forecasting, scenario analysis, and ad hoc modeling related to product investments, cost structure, portfolio decisions, and business performance
- Identify where product and technology economics are improving or deteriorating, and help leadership understand where to invest, accelerate, pause, or pivot
- Bring discipline and follow-through to operating rhythms including monthly reviews, variance analysis, and leadership deliverables
- Coach and support team members while elevating standards for modeling, analysis, and communication
Benefits
- Health, Life, Voluntary Lifestyle benefits and other perks that enhance your physical, mental, emotional and financial wellbeing
- Bonus structure (short-term incentives, long-term incentives and/or sales compensation)
