Reporting to the Head of Maritime Finance, this role owns division-level FP&A consolidation, one reconciled, audit-ready view of Maritime's financials across business lines, products, and programs, and leads the high-value strategic initiatives that fall outside recurring business-line finance responsibilities as Maritime continues to rapidly scale, recommending and executing the strategies that drive both top- and bottom-line impact.You will own the division’s consolidated financial picture, create dedicated ownership for high-impact initiatives that extend beyond recurring FP&A and business-line finance work, and present findings and recommendations directly to senior leadership.

The role is weighted approximately 60% consolidated FP&A, close, and division reporting and 40% strategic initiatives: the consolidation is the non-negotiable, and the strategic work follows a clean close.

Unresolved gaps escalate to the Head of Finance before the division number is published.Evaluate financial performance by comparing and analyzing actual results with forecasts, highlighting trends and analyzing causes of unexpected variances.Partner with corporate FP&A and controllership to align the division's consolidation with corporate reporting requirements, calendars, and accounting policy, and serve as Maritime's single point of accountability for the numbers that roll up to corporate.Lead executive-level reporting: own the division's performance dashboards, alerting, and KPI investigation, and present the resulting insights and recommendations to senior management.Serve as a force multiplier to the Head of Finance and business-line finance leaders, providing leadership where division-level priorities require coordination across multiple businesses or functions, guiding junior analysts on consolidation and IRAD work without formal management responsibility, and implementing best practices and tools to ensure a well-controlled yet flexible finance organization.Develop deep relationships with our customers (both internal and external) and oversee customer program reporting and monthly financial status reporting, partnering with billing on invoicing accuracy.Own financial analysis and decision support for emerging Maritime priorities, including new product development, business formation, investment decisions, and international expansion, and lead the high-value projects where ownership crosses functional boundaries or recurring issues point to a structural problem. Build the frameworks and models that turn ambiguous opportunities into decisions, diagnose root causes across finance, systems, manufacturing, supply chain, and program operations, implement the fixes, and establish ownership that outlasts the project.Provide guidance and financial oversight to a junior analyst who manages IRAD day to day, reviewing the roadmap that carries IRAD concepts from ideation through contract award and confirming financial viability at each stage.Stand up program management office standardization: a common link and guide from proposal to award, kick off, active program management, execution reporting, and contract close-out.Improve the systems, processes, data, and operating mechanisms supporting the division, including self-serve reporting that lets General Managers test delivery and schedule scenarios, and comprehensive program dashboards that give Program Managers system-based program financials.
