The Director of FP&A must translate complex operational and financial data into actionable insights that drive profitability, liquidity, growth, and execution discipline. This position requires a highly analytical and operationally engaged finance leader who can operate at both strategic and tactical levels in a fast-paced, project-driven infrastructure business. This role will be responsible for Strata's corporate model and long-term business planning.
