Financial Planning and Analysis Manager

Role: FP&A Manager (Financial Planning and Analysis Manager) – Mix of Operations, Commercialization, Corporate FP&A, Strategic Finance

You will be working with many key cross-functional partners (i.e. sales, operations, product and engineering) on a wide variety of special ad hoc financial projects to lead the top line and bottom line growth. We need someone who is business savvy with a strategic mindset that thrives in a fast-paced environment that will be a critical business partner. Ideally looking for a blend of not only corporate FP&A but strategic finance, commercial finance and operational finance. This is a highly visible position, so communication skills are extremely important. This is a very intellectually stimulating role. No two days will be the same. We need a thinker. There is no play book or manual for some of the projects you’ll get to tackle and analyze so it will be like writing the manual while flying the plane.

The leadership is great. The culture is one of transparency, honesty, accountability, valuing each other’s opinions, teaching and mentorship so that everyone learns and continues to grow. They are available when you need them and will push you outside of your comfort zone so that you continue to grow and develop so that you can advance your career to the next level.
