We are seeking a strategic, hands-on Director/Head of FP&A to build and lead a best-in-class financial planning function in a high-growth IT / Managed Services environment.

Reporting directly to the CFO, this role will serve as a key business partner to the executive team, driving financial strategy, performance insights, and operational rigor across the organization. This is a highly visible leadership role with direct exposure to the Board and investors.

Ideal candidates bring deep experience in technology or services-based business models, ideally within a private equity-backed company, and are comfortable operating in a fast-paced, global environment.

Primary Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership & Executive Partnership
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to the CFO and executive team, delivering data-driven insights that influence key decisions
  • Lead financial strategy, aligning planning efforts with company growth and value creation goals
  • Translate complex financial data into clear, actionable recommendations for leadership


FP&A & Business Performance
  • Own the end-to-end budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning processes, and monthly/quarterly reporting
  • Develop and maintain driver-based financial models (revenue, gross margin, profitability, cash flow)
  • Lead variance analysis and performance tracking, holding business partners accountable to targets
  • Analyze resource utilization metrics (billable vs. non-billable) to optimize productivity and reduce revenue leakage


Cross-Functional Business Partnership
  • Partner with Sales, Delivery, and Marketing to drive revenue growth and margin improvement
  • Support pipeline forecasting, conversion analysis, and pricing strategies, including large multi-year deals
  • Provide financial leadership for cost optimization initiatives, capital allocation, and M&A activities


Team Leadership & Build-Out (Critical)
  • Build, scale, and lead a high-performing FP&A team
  • Establish best practices, processes, and operating cadence across the function
  • Foster a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and analytical excellence
  • Partner closely with Controllership to ensure accurate and timely reporting


Data, Systems & Analytics
  • Drive adoption of FP&A tools, automation, and advanced analytics
  • Improve data infrastructure to enable real-time, decision-ready insights


Board & Investor Engagement
  • Own preparation of financial presentations, Board decks, investor reporting, and lender materials
  • Support due diligence and corporate development initiatives


Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field (MBA/CPA/CFA preferred)
  • 12+ years of progressive FP&A experience, including 3+ years in a leadership role
  • Proven experience building and scaling an FP&A function and team in a technology, services, or managed services environment (required)
  • Strong experience with services-based business models (e.g., utilization, project-based revenue, margin optimization)
  • Advanced financial modeling and forecasting expertise, with full ownership of forecasting, variance analysis, and performance accountability
  • Ability to turn data into actionable insights that influence business decisions and outcomes (not just reporting)
  • Strong executive presence with the ability to influence senior leadership and present to the Board
  • Experience operating in a fast-paced, global, and dynamic environment
  • Experience with financial systems and analytics platforms (e.g., Domo, NetSuite, Workday, Power BI, etc.)
  • Strong Excel skills and exposure to AI-based tools


Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in a private equity-backed company
  • Experience partnering deeply with Sales organizations on pricing, pipeline, and deal structuring


Why This Role?
  • High-impact role with direct CFO and Board exposure
  • Opportunity to build and scale FP&A from a leadership level
  • Work in a growth-oriented, PE-influenced environment
  • Shape financial strategy in a dynamic, services-driven business


Compensation & Benefits
  • $175,000 annually, commensurate with depth of FP&A experience
  • Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and defined contribution retirement plan benefits
  • Paid time off and holidays (in accordance with local law)
  • Professional development opportunities
