Head of FP&A Process Design and Integration

Seeking a senior executive to design future state Financial Planning & Analysis processes with a focus on enabling a business performance management system that connects strategy, financial plans, and operational plans and execution. 

Essential Functions 

• Partner with other FP&A leaders to design AI-native planning, forecasting, scenario, and insight-generation processes that reduce manual effort, improve cycle time, and increase predictive decision support. 

• Assess the need for, design and implement an enterprise Integrated Business Planning (IBP) model, including governance forums, cadence, decision inputs, and clear connection points to leadership routines. 

• Ensure FP&A processes support and enable IBP by aligning planning cycles, forecast outputs, performance reviews, and executive decision integration. 

• Define and influence the advancement of Extended Planning & Analysis (xP&A) capabilities that connect operational plans—such as workforce, sales, volume, capacity, and delivery—with financial outcomes. 

• Drive enterprise planning coherence by working with the FP&A methodologies and governance team to align assumptions, business drivers, timelines, methodologies, and decision outputs across Corporate Finance, Business Line Finance, Strategy, and functional partners. 

• Eliminate fragmented planning approaches and shadow models through standardized constructs, integrated data flows, clear ownership, and scalable process design. 

• Partner with Finance, Strategy, HR, Sales, technology, and other xP&A partners to create one interconnected enterprise operating plan. 

• Continuously improve enterprise planning, scenario depth, sensitivity analysis, and choice architecture so leaders can evaluate growth, cost, capital, capacity, and execution trade-offs with greater confidence. 

What Success Looks Like 

• A single, interconnected enterprise operating plan links strategy, financial commitments, operational drivers, and execution choices. 

• FP&A, xP&A, and IBP routines operate as one integrated performance system rather than disconnected processes. 

• Financial and operational plans are consistently reconciled, with reduced rework, fewer shadow models, and clearer ownership of assumptions and drivers. 

• Planning and forecasting cycles are faster, more automated, and more predictive, with AI-native processes reducing manual effort and accelerating insight. 

• Leaders have
