The Senior Director, FP&A is the senior finance leader for the Modular Suite service line.  As our Senior Director, FP&A, in this role you will have full P&L ownership - revenue, expense, and operating margin – including responsibility for forecast accuracy and making trade-offs to achieve financial commitments and optimize for future growth.  This person will work with finance, operations, technology, sales, and accounting business partners in the execution of these duties. In this role you will report to the SVP, Finance.

On a day-to-day basis you will serve as part of the FP&A leadership team and are expected to help drive process improvement (administrative efficiency and improve financial insights) and foster a positive team environment.  You will lead financial reporting, forecasting, and staffing analysis (productivity, cost benefit, domestic vs. global).  In addition, you will drive annual budgeting and long-range planning activities for Modular Suite by providing the financial visibility to drive strategic business decisions.  You will be key in supporting customer growth, cost efficiency, measuring performance, understanding the revenue and margin implications of strategic actions, and delivering on the financial commitment.
