Senior Manager, FP&A

Job Purpose

The Senior Manager FP&A is responsible for owning, architecting, and executing the end-to-end financial planning, rolling forecasting, and strategic analysis cycles for the Americas. This role focuses heavily on commercial finance, unit economics, and forward-looking planning, rather than traditional backwards-looking accounting controllership. The Senior Manager FP&A will lead the 3-year Long-Term Strategic Planning model, annual budgeting cycles, and monthly forecasting updates, ensuring full visibility across P&L and working capital. Acting as a core growth partner, this individual will challenge operational assumptions, evaluate M&A bolt-on performance, and translate financial outputs into executive-ready narratives and deliverables.


Key Responsibilities
Long-Term Strategic Planning & Forecasting

• Own the design, maintenance, and execution of the 3-year Long-Term Strategic Planning model to project the financial impact of various growth scenarios.
• Lead the annual budgeting process and oversee the execution of the dynamic, monthly rolling forecasting cycle across the Americas division.
• Build, scale, and continuously refine integrated end-to-end P&L and working capital (Balance Sheet) planning models.
• Consolidate, track, and evaluate financial projections for newly acquired operations and bolt-on entities (e.g. Mainstreet) to ensure seamless integration and variance tracking.

Commercial Finance & Business Partnering

• Act as a dedicated, embedded finance business partner to senior operational leadership, translating complex operational metrics into clear financial realities.
• Conduct precise, deep-dive analysis on labor margins, contract pricing architectures, and capacity utilization to safeguard divisional EBITDA targets.
• Lead monthly budget-versus-actual variance reviews, shifting the management dialogue away from historical scorekeeping toward proactive decision-making.

Executive Reporting & Presentation Design

• Construct, design, and deliver high-impact presentation decks for the Executive Committee, Private Equity sponsors, and the Americas President.
• Synthesize highly complex, multi-layered data structures into clear, commercially grounded insights and executive-ready narratives.

System Modernization & Team Leadership

• Manage, mentor, and maximize the operational throughput of one dedicated, full-time offshore financial analyst.
• Evaluate, test, and champion the integration of modern, automated FP&A planning tools and automated data pipelines to move the organization away from manual spreadsheets.
• Collaborate closely with the controllership team to align underlying data extraction layers with strategic forecasting priorities

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a highly quantitative field.
• 8–12+ years of progressive strategic FP&A, investment banking, or corporate finance experience, with a proven track record in a Senior Manager or Director capacity within professional services or corporate environments.
• Full US Work Authorization with no current or future visa sponsorship requirements.
• Fluency in building and maintaining integrated three-statement financial forecasting models, with a focus on operational drivers and dynamic scenario analysis.
• Exceptional communication and data storytelling skills, with a proven ability to shape executive decisions through credible, visual analysis.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience within the Services Sector (e.g., professional services, B2B services, or human capital management), with exposure to labor utilization models and margin analysis.
• Hands-on experience navigating data extraction layers and corporate reporting hierarchies within enterprise ERP networks (SAP environments strongly preferred).
• Advanced degrees (MBA) or professional certifications (CFA, CMA, or equivalent qualified).
• Direct experience operating within a Private Equity-backed or fast-paced, matrixed corporate growth environment.
• Exposure to data analytics platforms is valuable (e.g. PowerBI).
