Job Description

The Corporate FP&A Manager has the opportunity to gain insight into the company's operating units and interact with various leaders of the organization. This position leads communications with several levels of leadership, enterprise finance networks, and representatives from diverse functional teams. This position works both independently and collaboratively to lead forward-looking workstreams focused on optimization and driving financial outcomes across different levels of the organization. A successful candidate will be responsible for budgeting, forecasting, and analysis of expenses related to workforce, general, administrative, and non-operating expense items for Corporate administrative departments.

This role helps amplify the organization's financial and operational efficiency, making it integral to Sherwin William's overall financial landscape.

The ideal candidate will possess deep financial experience and demonstrate a strong work ethic, ability to work well under pressure, and the skills to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced work environment. Strong organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to adjust and reprioritize quickly, as needed, while maintaining a strict adherence to deadlines with a high degree of accuracy, is critical. Attention to detail, as well as a desire and ability to problem solve through complex financial scenarios is a must.
