You will partner closely with functional leaders, Finance back-office, and Enterprise Corporate FP&A to shape long-range planning, support critical investment decisions, monthly close activities, and financial reporting.

Core Responsibilities:

Partner with Functional leaders to serve as a trusted finance advisor, shaping financial priorities, challenging assumptions, evaluating tradeoffs, and recommending actions that improve business and financial outcomes.

Own the end-to-end planning process for assigned functions, including long-range planning, annual budgeting, forecasting, headcount planning, transformation initiatives, and pro forma analysis.

Translate complex business issues into clear financial recommendations for senior executives, including investments and resource optimization.

Develop and improve financial processes and models where needed, with an emphasis on practical decision support.

Ensure a high level of financial rigor and accuracy, including ownership of month-end activities, forecast integrity, issue resolution, and reconciliation of key financial assumptions.

Communicate complex financial matters clearly and credibly with senior executives and cross-functional stakeholders, including the ability to respectfully challenge and influence decisions.
