OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION

We are seeking a Financial Planning & Analysis Leader (FP&A Leader) to join our high-growth, private equity–backed company. This is an exciting opportunity for a finance professional who thrives in a dynamic manufacturing environment and wants to play a hands-on role in shaping how the business understands performance and drives growth.
You’ll partner directly with the CFO and executive team, as well as operations and private equity stakeholders, to deliver insights that influence key decisions. Unlike many large-company FP&A roles, this position offers direct exposure to leadership, involvement in strategic projects, and the ability to see your analysis implemented quickly.
If you are a highly analytical problem solver who loves working with data, building models, and telling the financial story behind the numbers, this role is for you.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field; MBA or CFA a plus.
• 3–6 years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, consulting, or investment banking.
• Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills; experience with BI/reporting tools preferred.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
• Excellent communication skills — able to distill complex financial data into clear insights.
• Comfortable working in a high-growth, private equity–backed environment with shifting priorities.
• We’re looking for someone who is proactive and creative — not waiting to be told what to do, but bringing forward ideas, driving improvements, and developing smarter, more effective ways to deliver insights, especially in business intelligence and reporting.

• Lead the annual budget process and support rolling forecasts. Currently performed by a 3rd party and we are gradually moving towards an insourced model.
• Develop and maintain financial models to evaluate performance, report to lenders, oversea debt agreements, and evaluate investment opportunities.
• Partner with operations, sales, and procurement to analyze drivers of revenue, cost, and profitability.
• Create dashboards and BI reporting tools that improve visibility into business performance and eliminate the need for excessive excel reporting.
• Conduct ad hoc analysis on pricing, margins, material costs improvements, and strategic initiatives.
• Present clear, actionable insights to the CFO, private equity partners, and leadership team.
• Support long-term planning, scenario analysis, and M&A modeling as needed.
