Description
Shoe Carnival (NASDAQ: SCVL) seeks a Director of FP&A to lead financial planning, forecasting, and strategic analysis. This role reports directly to a Vice President and serves as a key partner to the executive team in driving business performance and supporting strategic decision-making. The position is based at our Fort Mill, SC headquarters.
The company is executing a significant transformation—rebranding stores to the Shoe Station banner, pursuing M&A to become the nation's leading family footwear retailer, and building a new finance team. This role requires someone who can build FP&A capabilities while delivering immediate value to the business.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the annual budgeting process and monthly forecasting cycles, partnering with operations, merchandising, and store leadership to develop accurate, actionable plans
Develop and deliver monthly and quarterly financial reporting packages for executive leadership and Board of Directors
Build financial models to evaluate strategic initiatives including the Shoe Station rebanner program, new store economics, and potential acquisitions
Analyze store-level performance, comp sales trends, and banner economics (Shoe Carnival vs. Shoe Station vs. Rogan's) to inform capital allocation decisions
Support M&A activities including financial due diligence, synergy modeling, and integration tracking
Prepare earnings guidance analysis and support investor relations with financial modeling and scenario analysis
Develop KPIs and dashboards to track operational and financial performance across the business
Partner with Accounting to ensure alignment between actual results and planning assumptions
Build and mentor an FP&A function, establishing processes, tools, and talent for a scaled organization
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field; MBA or CPA preferred
8+ years of progressive FP&A experience, with at least 3 years in a leadership role
Public company experience required; retail industry experience strongly preferred
Demonstrated experience building financial models for M&A, strategic initiatives, or capital investments
Strong analytical skills with ability to synthesize complex data into clear insights and recommendations
Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills; experience with planning tools (Adaptive, Anaplan, or similar) preferred
Excellent communication and presentation skills; comfortable presenting to executives and Board
Who You Are
Beyond technical FP&A skills, we're looking for someone who embodies these attributes:
Business Partnership: You're not just a number cruncher—you're a strategic partner. You understand retail operations, you speak the language of merchandising and store leaders, and you translate financial analysis into business action.
Critical Thinking: You question assumptions in forecasts and budgets. You identify the drivers that really matter and challenge plans that don't hold up to scrutiny.
Curiosity: You want to understand why numbers move, not just report that they moved. You dig into store performance, ask questions about customer trends, and connect financial results to operational reality.
Ownership Mentality: You own the forecast and take accountability for its accuracy. You don't just consolidate inputs from the business—you challenge, refine, and commit to a point of view.
Prioritization Judgment: You know the difference between analysis that drives decisions and analysis that sits in a deck. You focus your energy where it creates value.
Resourcefulness: You build with what you have. If the data isn't perfect or the tools are limited, you find ways to get to actionable answers anyway.
Self-Direction: You don't wait to be told what analysis to run. You see what the business needs, anticipate questions leadership will ask, and proactively deliver insights.
Adaptability: You can shift from long-range planning to urgent ad-hoc analysis to acquisition modeling. You stay effective when priorities change rapidly.
