FP&A Lead – Systems Analytics

We’re partnering with a highly respected global technology and manufacturing company that’s looking to add a Senior Analyst to its Corporate FP&A team with a focus on ERP, planning systems, and finance transformation. This role sits at the intersection of FP&A and technology and will play an important part in a major ERP and cloud-based planning tool migration. It’s an ideal next step for someone with strong FP&A fundamentals who has become the “systems person” on their team, or a financial systems professional who wants broader ownership within a sophisticated corporate finance environment.

Highlights

• High-impact transformation: Play a key role in a major ERP and planning system migration, including UAT, go-live readiness, stabilization, and continuous improvement.
• Own the tools: Serve as a key owner of the company’s FP&A planning platform, including workflows, system configuration, scenario architecture, assumptions, and data integrity.
• Finance + technology: Work directly with Corporate FP&A, business finance teams, and IT to translate financial requirements into scalable system solutions.
• Automation focus: Help eliminate manual Excel-based processes and drive greater automation, AI adoption, and efficiency across the FP&A organization.
• Base salary (DOE) + annual performance bonus / profit sharing and a strong benefits package.

Responsibilities

• Own administration and configuration of the company’s cloud-based FP&A planning platform.
• Manage forecasting workflows, scenario builds, planning assumptions, allocations, and version control.
• Partner with IT and Finance stakeholders to translate business requirements into system functionality.
• Lead and support UAT testing, release validation, ERP migration activities, and go-live sign-off.
• Govern financial data quality, reconciliations, audit trails, and system integrity across FP&A tools.
• Train and support FP&A users while maintaining system access and user governance.
• Identify opportunities to automate manual reporting, forecasting, and Excel-based processes.
• Maintain SOX-related documentation and support ongoing finance transformation initiatives.

Your Background

• Progressive experience in FP&A, financial systems, or a hybrid finance / technology role.
• Strong understanding of FP&A processes including forecasting, budgeting, allocations, close cycles, and workforce planning.
• Hands-on experience with ERP systems and cloud-based planning platforms.
• Oracle, Hyperion / Essbase, EPM, Anaplan, or similar experience strongly preferred.
• Experience with UAT, system implementations, ERP migrations, data governance, or finance transformation is a strong plus.
• Analytical, process-oriented, and comfortable communicating technical concepts to Finance stakeholders.
• Someone who enjoys improving processes, solving systems problems, and figuring out how Finance can work smarter.
