From Microsoft's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Overview
Corporate Services Finance (CSF) provides financial planning, analysis, and controllership support for Corporate Functions (Corporate, External and Legal Affairs (CELA), Finance, Human Resources (HR), and Microsoft Office of Strategy and Transformation (MOST)). The CSF team is responsible for P&L (profit & loss) management, decision support, and financial stewardship of $12B in annual global expenses. We partner with leaders across Corporate Functions to enable transformation and optimize resources.
We're looking for a Finance Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis
(FP&A), to join our central CSF FP&A team in a high-visibility analytical role at the center of how CSF plans, forecasts, and governs it's spend. You'll own several core processes outright - OPEX (Operating Expenses) forecast support, people cost and headcount analytics, allocated Azure, and non-GWS CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) forecasting - and you'll be the person who turns those numbers into the insights that shape resource decisions across Corporate Functions.
This role will provide you with exposure to the full FP&A cycle, controllers across every Corporate Function, and executive-level reporting, and you'll have real room to redesign the processes you inherit. We're not looking for someone to run the model as it exists today. We're looking for someone who will make it better, faster, and smarter, including by putting AI (artificial intelligence) and automation to work.
Owns their processes outright. Controllers and partners come to you directly for allocated Azure, CAPEX, and people cost questions — and trust the answer.
Moves from reporting to insight. Your analysis doesn't just show what happened to people cost; it explains the drivers, flags the risk, and recommends the action.
Leaves the process better than they found it. At least one of the processes you inherit is materially faster, more standardized, or automated by year end — and you drove it.
Build credibility across the function. You communicate clearly with controllers, finance leaders, and non-finance partners, and adjust the message to the audience.
Is a resource, not a silo. When the team is under pressure during close, forecast, or planning, you're someone people want on the problem.
Highly analytical, with structured thinking and solid attention to detail.
Energized, genuine curiosity, and a growth mindset — you ask why, and you keep learning.
Self-starter who operates well with ambiguity and doesn't wait to be told what to analyze.
Solid communication skills with the ability to make complex financial data land with a non-finance audience.
Collaborative and flexible — works well across teams and steps up on shared priorities.
At Microsoft, our mission—to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more—guides how we partner with customers to deliver trusted, impactful solutions. With a growth mindset culture, we innovate responsibly and measure success by shared progress—people, teams, and customers. Join us to do meaningful work that changes the world and helps shape what’s next for everyone.
