What we’re looking for…

The FP&A Manager serves as the primary financial business partner for our Global High Tech Coated Fabrics product family within the manufacturing portfolio. This role integrates financial insight with product strategy, cost management, operational performance, and commercial decision-making. Working cross‑functionally with Product Management, Operations, Supply Chain, and Engineering, the FP&A Manager ensures that financial implications are embedded into product lifecycle decisions—from sourcing and production to pricing, mix optimization, and long-range product strategy.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Business Partnering for the Global High Tech Coated Fabrics Product Family

• Serve as the go‑to finance leader for the product family, advising on strategy, performance, and risk management.
• Partner closely with Product Management to guide portfolio decisions, including product introductions, discontinuations, SKU rationalization, and margin improvement opportunities.
• Provide financial support for pricing strategy, deal margin reviews, and commercial trade‑offs (mix shifts, customer programs, volume scenarios).
• Drive cross‑functional alignment across Manufacturing, Engineering, Procurement, and Supply Chain to ensure financial outcomes support business objectives.

Financial Planning, Forecasting & Reporting

• Own the forecast and budget for the product family, including volume, revenue, COGS, margin, mix, and cost improvement initiatives.
• Provide monthly performance reviews for product leadership, highlighting risks, opportunities, and needed corrective actions.
• Partner with Supply Chain teams to incorporate demand planning assumptions into financial outlooks.
• Track product lifecycle financial performance from prototype through end‑of‑life.

Costing, COGS & Margin Optimization

• Analyze product‑level profitability: material cost, labor, overhead, absorption, yield, and scrap impact.
• Lead standard cost updates and cost roll‑ups for the product family.
• Provide financial insight into sourcing changes, make‑versus‑buy decisions, manufacturing footprint shifts, and inventory strategies.
• Evaluate the financial impact of product redesigns, spec changes, and manufacturing process improvements.

Decision Support & Scenario Analysis

• Build models for volume/mix scenarios, customer demand shifts, cost inflation, supply disruptions, and strategic investments.
• Support evaluation of new product launches with business cases including labor/machine needs, material assumptions, and margin outlook.
• Quantify the financial impact of continuous improvement (CI/Lean) projects across production lines tied to the product family.
• Partner on long‑range planning, including capacity expansion, automation, capital projects, and product evolution roadmaps.

Qualifications

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field; MBA or CPA preferred.
• 7+ years of FP&A or manufacturing finance experience, including business partnering or product‑centric financial support.
• Experience supporting product teams, manufacturing operations, or cost management roles strongly preferred.

Skills & Competencies

• Deep understanding of manufacturing operations, standard costing, and product lifecycle economics.
• Experience supporting Global Product Families.
• Strong analytical, modeling, and decision‑support capabilities.
• Excellent communication skills—able to influence and guide non‑finance stakeholders.
• Ability to manage ambiguity and operate effectively in a matrixed environment.
• Proficiency in ERP and BI platforms (Power BI, JDE).
