Financial Planning & Analysis, Principal

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Principal, Financial Planning and Analysis, partners with assigned business units and leads one or more planning or reporting processes across the company. The role turns operating and financial information into clear outlooks, alternatives, and recommendations for management. It works within a matrix model: business leaders own their operating assumptions and decisions; FP&A sets financial standards, challenges assumptions, and connects the business views to an enterprise outlook. The Principal reports to the FP&A leader, who retains overall coordination and escalation responsibility. Business-unit and process assignments may evolve as the team and businesses grow.

Core responsibilities
• Business partnership: Serve as the day-to-day finance partner for assigned business units. Understand operating drivers, commitments, headcount, capital needs, and risks; support leaders with timely analysis and clear recommendations.
• Process leadership: Own assigned FP&A processes end to end across the relevant business units. Set the method and calendar, gather and challenge inputs, coordinate contributors, consolidate outputs, document decisions, and arrange backup cover
