Role Summary

As FP&A Director for the TDX Division, you will lead the annual budgeting, strategic planning, monthly/quarterly reporting and forecasting, business performance monitoring and financial analysis for the global division with $500M+ revenue.

  • Partner with division leadership to establish financial targets, KPIs, operational drivers and maintain alignment of financial plans with business objectives.
  • Lead preparation of monthly and quarterly financial performance reviews (MBR and QBR): analyze actuals vs budget/forecast, identify key variances/trends, provide actionable recommendations to improve performance.
  • Collaborate closely with corporate FP&A to ensure timely reporting.
  • Collaborate with TDX finance peers to ensure alignment and efficiency.
  • Build and maintain advanced financial models to support business decisions—e.g., new product initiatives evaluation, M&A activities and other strategic investments.
  • Provide scenario analysis / sensitivity modelling to assess risks, opportunities and alternative business strategies.
  • Drive continuous improvement of FP&A processes, systems and tools (e.g., forecasting system enhancements, dashboards, business intelligence, automation) to increase efficiency, accuracy and insight.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership: present financial insights, strategic recommendations and business partner with non-finance stakeholders to influence decisions and business outcomes.
  • Manage and develop the FP&A team for the TDX Division: recruit, train, mentor, set objectives, develop career progression and ensure delivery of high‐quality output.
  • Ensure integrity of financial data, adhere to reporting standards and compliance requirements, and coordinate with Accounting/Controllership, Treasury, and other finance functions as required.
  • Monitor industry, market and competitive trends, and provide insights to support strategic direction of the division.

Qualifications – Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration or related field.
  • MBA or advanced degree in Finance strongly preferred.
  • Professional certification such as CPA, CFA or CMA is a plus.
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance or strategic planning—preferably within a complex/divisional business environment.
  • Proven experience managing budgets, forecasts, financial modelling, and providing executive‐level analysis and strategic insight.
  • Strong leadership experience: ability to lead and develop a team of finance professionals and partner with business leadership across functions.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving and financial modelling skills; able to turn data into actionable business insight.
  • Strong business acumen, strategic mindset and ability to influence and communicate effectively with non‐finance stakeholders (senior executives, business units).
  • Familiarity with FP&A tools, ERP/finance systems, business intelligence tools, and advanced Excel/financial modelling.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities, thrive in a fast‐paced environment, and drive change and process improvement.

Key Competencies & Personal Attributes

  • Strategic thinker: able to look beyond the numbers, identify trends, implications and provide insight.
  • Communication: strong presenter, comfortable with senior leadership, able to translate financial data into business language.
  • Leadership & team building: motivates and develops the FP&A team, fosters collaboration and continuous improvement.
  • Business partner mindset: engages with operations, product, sales, marketing, and understands business drivers beyond finance.
  • Results‐oriented and hands‐on: while you’ll delegate many tasks, you must ensure quality and timeliness of deliverables.
  • Change agent: comfortable leading process/technology upgrades, driving automation and elevating the FP&A function.
  • Integrity and credibility: reliable steward of financial data and able to build trust across stakeholders.

What Success Looks Like

  • The TDX Division delivers its annual plan and strategic goals, with FP&A providing timely, accurate forecasts and insightful variance analysis.
  • FP&A teams are seen as trusted business partners, delivering actionable insights that influence strategic decisions and resource allocation.
  • FP&A processes (budgeting, forecasting, reporting) are efficient, scalable, and continuously improving in accuracy and speed.
  • Division leadership leverages FP&A analysis proactively to identify growth opportunities, cost savings or risk mitigation.
  • The FP&A team is highly engaged, high-performing, and growing in capability and business impact.
