Serve as a strategic finance advisor to senior leaders and translate business strategy and leader intent into financial priorities, operating metrics, decision frameworks, governance, and execution cadence. Shape resource-allocation, portfolio, investment, cost, and performance decisions through scenario planning, business cases, sensitivity analysis, and clear articulation of tradeoffs. Build trusted relationships across business units and functions, create alignment around shared priorities, and resolve conflicting assumptions, dependencies, and decision criteria. Define and model a stakeholder-service approach that balances responsiveness, standardization, self-service, financial discipline, and strategic value, and establish clear expectations and measures of service effectiveness. Design, build, and continuously evolve end-to-end FP&A processes for annual planning, rolling forecasts, long-range planning, performance reviews, headcount, capital, resource allocation, and other finance mechanisms, as applicable. Assess current-state processes and operating models; identify gaps, control risks, duplicative work, manual effort, unclear ownership, and decision bottlenecks; define the future state and a practical roadmap tied to strategy. Develop scalable driver-based models, dashboards, analytical frameworks, and management-review materials that connect operational performance to financial outcomes and focus leaders on the decisions that matter most. Lead complex, high-ambiguity analyses and present recommendations to senior leadership, governance forums, and steering committees; ensure decisions, owners, and follow-through actions are clear. Set FP&A best practices, standard methods, and reusable templates; coach and mentor Senior Financial Analysts and other partners, and build ownership so improvements remain effective after implementation. Ensure new and existing processes comply with accounting policies, GAAP, SOX requirements, internal controls, data governance, and audit expectations.
