We are seeking a strategic and analytical Director, Corporate FP&A, to drive our enterprise-level financial planning processes. This role sits at the center of how the company sets direction, allocates capital, and measures performance—translating complex financial and operational data into the insights that guide Executive Leadership and Board decisions.

Team Leadership, Partnership & Transformation:

- Serve as a financial advisor to the G&A and R&D leadership teams to drive capital allocation decisions or development of business cases as needed
- Partner with Accounting and Investor Relations on financial results narratives, ensuring alignment across stakeholder needs
- Collaborate with the Finance Systems lead, IT, and other cross-functional teams on maintenance of financial planning tools and reporting integrations with other systems. Support Global Finance transformation, including AI adoption and process improvements, to enhance the speed, quality, and scalability of the FP&A function
What we’re looking for:
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; MBA, CPA, or CFA preferred
- 15+ years of progressive finance experience, with significant time in corporate FP&A, strategic finance, or a comparable function
- Demonstrated experience and executive-level communication and storytelling in preparing materials for Company leadership and Boards
- Advanced financial modeling and scenario analysis expertise; deep command of enterprise planning processes
Bonus Points For:
- Familiarity with modern FP&A tooling and interest in applying AI and automation to finance workflows
- Experience supporting a high-growth company
