A publicly traded manufacturing company is hiring a Vice President, FP&A to report directly to the CFO. This is a high-visibility role shaping how the company plans, forecasts, and communicates performance to executives and the Board.
You’ll own enterprise FP&A end-to-end — from process and tools to how insights drive business decisions. Ideal for a strategic finance leader who thrives in transformation, enjoys cross-functional influence, and wants impact in a smaller public company where your work is seen.
Why This Role Stands Out
Direct line of sight to the CFO and Board — genuine strategic influence, not layers of approval.
Full ownership of FP&A — you’ll design and implement, not inherit.
Cross-functional exposure — work with Sales, Ops, and Supply Chain leaders who actually use the insights you produce.
Visibility + career currency — builds executive-level credibility for your next step (VP or CFO track).
Transformation and autonomy — the company is modernizing; there’s room to build, automate, and drive change.
What You’ll Own
Lead enterprise forecasting, budgeting, and long-range planning with accuracy and discipline.
Partner across operations, sales, and supply chain to translate financial data into business action.
Drive how results are communicated — turning complex analysis into clear, Board-ready narratives.
Build scalable models, processes, and governance to strengthen forecasting discipline and accountability.
Lead and mentor a lean, high-performing FP&A team through ongoing growth and modernization.
What You Bring
20+ years of progressive FP&A or strategic finance experience, ideally within manufacturing or multi-site operations.
Strength in enterprise modeling, scenario planning, and financial storytelling.
Hands-on builder with the judgment to know when to dive in and when to delegate.
Bachelor’s in Finance, Accounting, or Economics required; MBA, CPA, CFA, or FPAC certification strongly preferred.
This Role Is Right If You:
Thrive in transformation — you like to rebuild, automate, and modernize FP&A processes.
Are equally comfortable in the plant and the Boardroom.
Have executive presence without ego — you lead with insight, not flash.
Want to make visible impact in a mid-sized public company with resources to grow and change.
