About The Position

We’re looking for a Sr Director of Corporate FP&A to serve as a strategic thought partner to the business. This role involves building financial models that shape leadership decisions, rather than just reporting past events. Reporting to the Vice President of FP&A, you will lead a team of finance professionals and manage all aspects of planning, forecasting, and financial analysis for a publicly traded company. The position has significant visibility, requiring partnership with senior leaders across the business to deliver quarterly earnings materials and translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insights. The ideal candidate is adept at both building rigorous financial models and communicating persuasively in a boardroom setting, driven by the goal of making FP&A a 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.

• You have experience in financial services or another complex, regulated industry
• You bring a continuous improvement mindset to planning processes and tools—you’ve implemented or significantly enhanced a planning system in a prior role
• You thrive in fast-paced environments and can shift between strategic long-range thinking and tactical day-to-day execution without losing quality
