Job Overview We are building a dedicated finance presence inside each of our business divisions, and this role is one of them. As Director, Operational Finance, you will be the embedded finance partner to a division's CEO and leadership team: the person who knows the division's numbers, helps leaders make better decisions with them, and makes sure what happens in the division is reflected accurately in company-wide planning.
You will report to the SVP of Finance, with a dotted-line relationship with your division's CEO & the Head of FP&A, and you will be working alongside the Corporate Finance team that runs central processes. This is an individual contributor role with significant visibility and a clear path to growth within the organization.
Essential Duties & Responsibilities:
- Partner with divisional leadership. Serve as the primary corporate finance and financial operations contact for your assigned division, working closely with the division CEO and the division executive team.
- Drive consistency across divisions. Translate corporate FP&A reporting standards into division-specific execution, so that definitions and metrics (for example, bookings standardization, ARR-related metrics, and margin expansion) are applied the same way in every division.
- Shape the plan. Bring divisional context, assumptions, and priorities into the annual budget run by Corporate Finance, and keep the division aligned with company-wide planning cycles.
- Assist with forecasting. Assist division leadership on forecasting updates, performance tracking, and operational improvement. Act as financial chief of staff to the division CEO while staying closely aligned with Corporate Finance and overall company goals.
- Flag risks early. Identify and escalate critical items, risks, and variances across bookings, retention, and costs to both divisional leadership and the central FP&A organization and support the work to resolve them.
- Find the efficiencies. Identify and drive operational efficiencies and develop topline cost-savings and upside ideas in partnership with divisional leaders.
- Own adjustment tracking. Own tracking of below-the-line (BTL) adjustment realization for your division, and report progress to Corporate Finance to support lender and board reporting.
- Support the close and reporting cycle. Provide divisional input to the monthly and quarterly close, perform variance analysis, and prepare divisional commentary for management and board reporting. Deliver ad hoc analysis for division and corporate leadership as needs arise.
- Partner Across the Organization. In addition to working with finance, partner with and influence other shared services roles such as Deal Desk, Operations, AR, Sales Operations, and Sales Compensation to drive the division forward and reduce friction.
- Support M&A. Lead synergy identification and tracking for acquisitions that land in your division and provide divisional input to Corporate Finance on diligence and integration into company financials.
Requirements & Skills:- 7-10 years of progressive experience in FP&A, business finance, or finance partnering, including time in a SaaS business.
- Working knowledge of SaaS metrics, including ARR, bookings, retention, and margin, and the ability to explain what is driving them.
- Strong financial modeling and variance analysis skills, with the judgment to know which numbers matter to an executive audience.
- Experience partnering directly with senior business leaders, such as a CEO, GM, or head of sales, and influencing without direct authority.
- Superior written and verbal communication, including the ability to turn analysis into recommendations and to use numbers to tell a story.
- Experience in a private-equity-backed company, including lender or sponsor reporting.
- Experience with M&A, including synergy tracking or post-acquisition integration.
- Experience with a modern planning platform (Pigment preferred) or similar tools such as Adaptive, Anaplan, or Planful.
- Experience with a multi-product or multi-entity software business.
Education: - A bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
