Financial Planning and Analysis Manager

A well established manufacturing business is hiring an FP&A Manager to lead its Business Unit Finance Partners team. This is a build and lead role: you'll manage a team of two (growing to four), and you'll be the person business unit leaders call when they need the numbers to actually mean something. The team owns the monthly performance reviews (P&L, margin, opex, headcount, CapEx) for each business unit, runs the annual budget and quarterly reforecasts alongside those business leaders, and reports up to the CFO and finance leadership. You'll set the standard for how that work gets done: consistent templates, sharp commentary, and presentations that get used in real decisions rather than filed away. What makes this one interesting: you're not just producing reports, you're building the process. There's real scope to automate the repetitive parts of the reporting pack (using Tableau, Prophix and AI tools) so your team spends more time on analysis and partnering and less on data wrangling. You'll also own the planning system relationship (Prophix, alongside an Infor/SAP ERP) and be the business owner of the planning models. What they need from you: 7+ years in FP&A or finance business partnering, with at least 3 years working directly with GMs or business unit leaders People management experience, ideally including coaching analysts into stronger business partners A manufacturing or hardware background is strongly preferred, with comfort around standard costing and product line margin Someone who can walk into a room with non-finance executives and make the numbers land Bachelor's in Finance or Accounting; MBA, CPA or CMA a plus If you're a senior FP&A professional who wants to build a team and a process rather than inherit one, and you like being close enough to the business to actually influence it, this is worth a conversation. #J-18808-Ljbffr
