Financial Planning And Analysis Manager

Manager, Operational FP&A & Business Partnership

Location: Denver, CO

Work Model: Hybrid – 2 days onsite / 3 days remote

We’re looking for an FP&A professional who enjoys working with people as much as working with numbers.

This newly created position will serve as a key connection between Finance and Operations for a growing, multi-location organization. You'll own important planning and reporting activities while helping operational leaders better understand and use financial information to run their businesses.

This is currently an individual contributor Manager role with significant visibility across the organization. It's particularly well suited for an experienced Senior Financial Analyst, Finance Business Partner, or FP&A professional ready for broader ownership.

What You'll Do

You'll manage budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and management reporting across assigned operating regions and corporate functions. Just as importantly, you'll work directly with regional and field leaders to turn that information into practical business decisions.

A major priority will be helping roll out new reports, dashboards, and planning tools. You'll introduce these resources to operational teams, explain how to use them, gather feedback, and help drive adoption across the organization.

Additional responsibilities include:

• Own recurring budgeting and forecasting activities across multiple operating areas.
• Analyze revenue, expenses, workforce trends, profitability, cash flow, margins, and key operating metrics.
• Partner with operational leaders to explain performance, identify trends, and improve financial results.
• Develop clear management reporting and dashboards for both finance and non-finance audiences.
• Support pricing, planning, target setting, and business performance discussions.
• Help improve financial processes, reporting tools, and planning systems.
• Train business users on new reports, dashboards, and financial tools.
• Support finance transformation and change initiatives from rollout through adoption.
• Turn complex financial information into clear recommendations leaders can act on.

What We're Looking For

• We're seeking someone with approximately 5+ years of progressive FP&A, corporate finance, or operational finance experience who has strong fundamentals in budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and financial reporting.
• Experience supporting a multi-location or decentralized business is particularly valuable. Backgrounds in senior living, healthcare, hospitality, real estate, property management, retail, restaurants, transportation, or other multi-unit environments can translate well.
• Advanced Excel skills are important. Experience with Power BI, Tableau, Vena, Anaplan, Adaptive Planning, Yardi, or similar reporting and planning platforms is beneficial but not required.
• More important than expertise in a particular system is your ability to work with the business.
• You'll be successful here if you're proactive, outgoing, organized, and comfortable building relationships with operational leaders. You should enjoy explaining financial concepts to non-finance audiences, training users, challenging assumptions, gathering feedback, and helping teams adapt to new processes.
• A bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related discipline is required. MBA, CPA, or CFA credentials are welcomed but aren't required.

This is an opportunity for an FP&A professional who wants to move beyond simply producing the numbers and become a hands-on financial partner to the people making operational decisions.
