Senior Financial Analyst, FP&A Systems Lead

Rogers Group, Inc., headquartered in Nashville, is a privately held aggregates and asphalt highway construction company operating in 13 states with over 3,500 employees. RGI, established in 1908, has the distinction of being recognized as the largest privately held aggregate producer in the United States.

Rogers Group is currently seeking a Senior Financial Analyst, FP&A Systems Lead to join our Financial Planning & Analysis team. This newly created role sits within the FP&A analyst team and carries a dual purpose: contributing meaningfully to financial planning, analysis, and reporting cycles while serving as the internal IBM Planning Analytics systems lead for the FP&A function.

This is not a pure systems role. You will do real financial analysis work — supporting budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting — while also serving as the FP&A team's primary point of contact for IBM Planning Analytics system administration, user support, and platform readiness. You will partner closely with the Manager, Financial Systems & BI for technical escalation and architectural guidance, and work alongside your FP&A analyst peers to keep the system running smoothly for the entire organization.

Job Responsibilities:

Financial Planning & Analysis:

• Support the Manager, FP&A across planning, forecasting, and financial analysis cycles — contributing to the annual business plan, rolling forecasts, and Strategic Plan as assigned.

• Build and maintain financial models in Excel and IBM Planning Analytics — supporting variance analysis, management reporting, and ad hoc analytical requests.

• Prepare financial reporting materials for senior leadership, operating reviews, and Board of Directors meetings as directed by the Manager, FP&A.

• Support cross-functional analysis alongside the Sr FA — Corporate and Sr FA — Operations — bringing systems perspective to planning and reporting work.

• Contribute to proactive financial analysis — identifying trends, surfacing risks, and building analytical tools that improve the team's planning accuracy.

IBM Planning Analytics — FP&A Systems Lead:

• Serve as the FP&A team's primary IBM Planning Analytics super user — the first point of contact for user questions, access issues, and system support requests from finance and operational users.

• Add new users and assign security access as help desk tickets are received — managing provisioning within established security model guidelines.

• Conduct quarterly user license reviews to ensure compliance with license counts, coordinating with area controllers and reporting results to the Manager, Financial Systems & BI.

• Maintain the IBM Planning Analytics Business Administration Guide — keeping documentation current as configurations, processes, and security models evolve.

• Communicate system issues, alerts, maintenance windows, and plan-period transitions to the user community in a clear and timely manner.

• Manage application group membership and read/write access permissions throughout the planning calendar — adjusting user access as plan phases open and close across the organization.

• Lead the roll-forward of system workbooks, processes, and chores in advance of new reporting and planning periods — executing against a documented checklist with Manager, Financial Systems & BI sign-off before production changes are applied.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Governance:

• Maintain a working relationship with the Manager, Financial Systems & BI — escalating technical issues that exceed super user scope promptly and providing clear documentation of what has been attempted.

• Partner with finance and operational users to understand IBM PA pain points and surface enhancement requests to the Manager, Financial Systems & BI for prioritization.

• Support the Manager, FP&A in communicating system changes, planning calendar updates, and training needs to the broader FP&A analyst team.

• Maintain awareness of IBM Planning Analytics release updates and communicate relevant changes to the team and the Manager, Financial Systems & BI.

Qualifications:

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Information Systems, Business, or related field.

• 3+ years of experience in financial planning and analysis — with hands-on work in budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, or management reporting.

• Demonstrated experience with IBM Planning Analytics (TM1) as an end user or power user — including PAW, PAfE (Excel add-in), and familiarity with planning workflows.

• Strong Excel modeling skills
