Job description

Build the FP&A Function—Not Just Manage It

Rapidly growing, publicly traded advanced energy technology company operating in a highly regulated, capital-intensive industry seeks an exceptional Director of FP&A to build and lead its financial planning and analysis function. This is a hands on opportunity for an experienced leader who wants the autonomy to build forecasting models, planning processes, reporting infrastructure, and analytical tools that will guide the company's next stage of growth.

As the organization expands organically and through strategic acquisitions, you'll work directly with leadership across the business to translate operating plans into financial forecasts, evaluate investments, and provide the insights senior management needs to make informed decisions.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Build FP&A from the ground up instead of inheriting an established function.

Take end-to-end ownership of budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning.

Partner directly with senior leaders across multiple business units and subsidiaries.

Build financial models supporting significant capital investments and strategic initiatives.

Help introduce automation and AI into the FP&A environment.

Join a growing public company at an important stage of its development.

What You'll Own

Build and scale the company's FP&A processes, models, and reporting infrastructure.

Lead annual budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning.

Develop detailed operating, headcount, CapEx, investment and cash-flow forecasts.

Partner with business leaders to develop and challenge financial assumptions.

Consolidate forecasts across multiple business units, subsidiaries and financial systems.

Develop business-unit and revenue models as the company progresses toward commercialization.

Lead budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual analysis, identifying trends, risks and opportunities.

Develop KPIs, dashboards and management reporting for senior leadership.

Perform scenario and sensitivity analysis supporting investment decisions and strategic initiatives.

Drive greater automation and efficiency across FP&A processes.

What You'll Bring

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field.

8–12 years of progressive FP&A, corporate finance or strategic finance experience.

Strong hands on budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning and financial modeling experience.

Advanced Excel skills with the ability to personally build sophisticated financial models and analytical tools.

Experience developing consolidated forecasts and management reporting across multiple businesses, entities or systems.

Strong understanding of the three financial statements and the relationship between operating assumptions, cash flow and financial performance.

Experience building, improving or scaling FP&A processes and reporting capabilities.

Highly Valued

Experience within energy, power, infrastructure, advanced manufacturing or another capital-intensive industry .

Experience implementing FP&A automation, technology and AI-enabled processes.

Experience supporting a growing, multi-entity organization.

Hybrid work environment.

Amazing Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance

401(k) match up to 5%.

Unlimited PTO.

Company holidays and paid parental leave.

Opportunities for continued professional growth.

Ready to Build Something?

If you're an experienced FP&A professional who wants more ownership than maintaining someone else's planning process , this is an opportunity to build the function, work closely with leadership, and create the financial infrastructure that will support a growing public company.
