- Lead and develop a team of Finance Business Partners, providing coaching, prioritization, and support to drive strong financial outcomes and professional growth.
- Lead monthly business reviews and in‑year outlooks, ensuring clear financial insights, risks, opportunities, and recommendations are delivered with consistency and quality.
- Analyze results across the P&L and guide the team in identifying trends, communicating insights, and recommending investment shifts to optimize ROI.
- Own financial inputs, assumptions, and narratives for assigned portfolios while ensuring effective partnership between FBPs and centralized FP&A teams on forecasting models, consolidation, and reporting.
- Partner with leaders on annual planning, scenario analysis, and investment business cases to support prioritization and trade‑off decisions.
- Collaborate with Accounting, Tax, and Sourcing/Procurement on capitalization, expense treatment, vendor considerations, and financial governance.
- Drive forecasting discipline, process improvement, and automation efforts to improve accuracy, clarity, and predictability across Technology and Product portfolios.
You own this if you have:
