Job Title: Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis - Value Creation

Team: Finance

Reports To: Director, Financial Planning and Strategic Analytics

Location: Toronto (4 days Onsite, 1 Day Remote)

Employment Type: Permanent Full-Time

About the Role

This isn't a traditional FP&A role. As Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis - Value Creation, you'll sit at the intersection of finance, strategy, and operations-partnering closely with senior leaders to shape how the business grows and where it invests.

You'll go beyond reporting the numbers to interpreting what they mean, challenging assumptions, and helping leaders make better decisions. Whether it's evaluating investments, tracking value creation initiatives, or building forward-looking models, your work will directly influence the direction of the organization.

Your work will help answer some of the organization's most important questions:
Where should we invest? What's driving performance? What needs to change?

If you're someone who enjoys connecting the dots, asking "why," and turning complexity into clarity, this role is built for you.

What You'll Do

• Lead budgeting and forecasting cycles, aligning inputs across teams into a unified financial view
• Drive long-range and strategic planning, translating priorities into measurable financial outcomes
• Own value creation tracking, ensuring initiatives deliver expected ROI and surfacing risks early
• Conduct investment and capital allocation analysis (DCF, NPV, sensitivity modeling) to support strategic decisions
• Deliver variance and performance insights, identifying drivers and recommending actionable next steps
• Partner with operational leaders to embed financial thinking into decision-making
• Build executive and board-level materials that clearly tell the story behind the numbers
• Enhance and maintain Power BI dashboards to provide real-time visibility into performance
• Apply predictive analytics and modern tools (Python, R, AI/LLMs) to generate forward-looking insights

What You Bring

• 8+ years of experience in FP&A, Corporate Development, Management Consulting, or Strategic Analytics
• A degree in Finance, Economics, or a quantitative field; MBA, CPA, or CFA is required
• Advanced financial modeling skills-you're comfortable building dynamic models from scratch
• Strong proficiency in Excel, Power BI (DAX/Power Query), and SQL; experience with Workday Adaptive is an asset
• Familiarity with Python, R, or AI tools for deeper analysis and forecasting
• You think like an owner. You care about how the numbers are built, what they mean, and how they're used
• You're comfortable operating at both the detail level and the strategic level without losing momentum
• You can translate complex analysis into clear, compelling narratives for senior leaders and Board audiences
• You build strong relationships and can influence decisions without direct authority
• You have a strong instinct for what truly drives business performance, not just what shows up in reports

What Sets You Apart

You go beyond reporting numbers, you help shape decisions. You naturally look past the "what" to understand the "why," and you turn complex financial data into clear, actionable insights that drive strategy and investment decisions. You bring strong technical FP&A capability paired with a strategic, owner's mindset. You're just as comfortable building detailed financial models as you are stepping back to connect insights to broader business priorities.

Known for your clarity and influence, you communicate effectively with senior leaders, challenge assumptions constructively, and help move decisions forward. You thrive in environments where finance is a true partner to the business and where your work directly impacts value creation.
