Overview

Esri is seeking an experienced FP&A professional to serve as a finance business partner to our Marketing divisions. In this role, you will work directly with Marketing leaders and operational stakeholders to connect business plans, resource decisions, and Marketing investments to their financial impact.

The successful candidate will develop a strong understanding of Marketing priorities, evaluate financial performance, and provide actionable financial guidance. This requires moving beyond reporting what happened, to explaining why results changed, anticipating future financial implications, and helping business partners align investments and resource decisions with strategic priorities.

This is a relationship-driven corporate finance role for someone who is comfortable working with non-financial leaders, asking thoughtful questions, and translating complex financial information into practical recommendations. Success in this role is measured by the ability to translate financial insight into clear recommendations, influence business decisions, and drive better financial outcomes.

Join our collaborative FP&A team onsite at our campus in Redlands, California.
