About The Position

We’re looking for a Sr Director of Corporate FP&A to serve as a strategic thought partner to the business. Someone who builds the financial models that shape how leadership makes decisions, not just someone who reports what already happened. Reporting to the Vice President of FP&A, you’ll lead a team of finance professionals and own the full spectrum of planning, forecasting, and financial analysis for a publicly traded company. This role carries significant visibility. You’ll partner with senior leaders across the business to deliver quarterly earnings materials and translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insights. The right candidate is equal parts builder and communicator: rigorous in the details, persuasive in the boardroom, and energized by the challenge of making FP&A a true competitive advantage.

Requirements

12+ years of progressive finance experience, including FP&A, corporate finance, or strategic finance, with at least 3 years in a publicly traded company
6+ years of direct people management experience, with a track record of developing high-performing analysts and managers
Deep expertise in financial modeling (three-statement, DCF, scenario analysis) and a demonstrated ability to translate models into executive-level insights
Experience supporting SEC reporting processes (10-Q, 10-K) and investor relations deliverables, including earnings guidance and scripts
Strong command of Excel and PowerPoint; hands-on experience with enterprise planning tools (e.g., Anaplan, Pigment, Adaptive Insights, or similar)
Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; or equivalent work experience
