The Finance Manager, IMR Lead role, within SPS FP&A, is a highly visible finance role that requires strong program management skills to drive complex, cross-functional workstreams at scale. You will not just report numbers; you will challenge assumptions, identify risks, build scalable financial models, manage multi-stakeholder programs end-to-end, and influence decisions that impact $0.6Bn+ in OpEx spend. A key aspect of this role is serving as the conduit between SPS business leaders and the corporate Stores Tech Finance (STF) team, ensuring alignment on IMR allocation methodology, rate assumptions, and planning outputs.

For IMR (~85% of the role), you will own the end-to-end financial lifecycle: driving planning cycles (OP1, OP2, 3YF, Guidance), managing fleet-level submissions and benefit entitlement tracking across multiple business verticals, and ensuring cross-functional alignment between Finance, business teams, and senior leadership. For SPS Owned OpEx (~15%), you will manage reporting and controllership for discretionary spend categories such as marketing, software spend, T&E, ensuring accurate accruals, variance analysis, and timely reporting to leadership.

The ideal candidate combines deep financial acumen with strong program management capabilities: defining milestones, driving accountability across stakeholder teams, managing competing priorities, and delivering results on tight timelines, all while operating independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. This role has regular exposure to senior leadership and requires clear, concise communication of financial narratives and program status.
