Job DescriptionThe Corporate FP&A Manager - Enterprise Consolidation is a hands-on finance leader who owns critical enterprise workstreams at the intersection of capital deployment, financial planning, and FP&A modernization. This role will help lead enterprise capital planning, governance, and reporting for a multi-billion-dollar capital portfolio; deliver timely, decision-ready insight to senior leadership, including the CFO, CEO, and Board of Directors; and drive continuous improvement in how Corporate FP&A plans, forecasts, reports, and analyzes performance.
This is not a traditional reporting role. The successful candidate will pair strong financial and analytical skills with a builder's mindset - simplifying processes, applying technology, data, and AI, and creating scalable solutions that improve the quality, consistency, transparency, and speed of financial insight across the enterprise. Unlike an analyst role focused on executing deliverables, the Manager owns workstreams end to end, shapes the approach, directs the work of analysts, and brings recommendations forward. The Manager operates within the strategic priorities set by Corporate FP&A leadership and partners closely with Operations, Engineering, Commercial, Accounting, Treasury, and IT. The role offers high visibility and a direct line of sight to how the company's most important decisions are made.
