This role partners closely with functional leaders, program owners, and finance to manage intake and prioritization, set a predictable planning cadence, enforce spend controls, and provide decision support through clear reporting and actionable insights.
Job Responsibility:

Own end-to-end budget management (primarily non-labor OPEX hardware and other spend, including D&A), including baseline, reforecasts, reallocations, approvals, and spend controls aligned to business priorities and the operating plan
Lead forecasting, variance management, and performance readouts: surface risks/opportunities early, drive root-cause analysis, and coordinate mitigation plans across owners
Own key business metrics (KPIs) and build leader-ready dashboards and narratives that connect spend, headcount, and execution to outcomes
highlight decisions needed and next actions
Build and improve planning processes that scale (intake, prioritization, planning templates, and automation) to reduce cycle time, improve data quality, and increase predictability
Partner with functional teams and finance to align priorities, manage dependencies, remove blockers, and communicate tradeoffs
facilitate alignment across functions and leadership levels
Maintain governance and compliance for business planning and financial processes: ensure adherence to policies, approval workflows, and documentation standards
support audit readiness as needed
Own business administration mechanics (cost centers, accruals, transfers, purchasing/vendor workflows where applicable) and ensure clean ownership, and timely reconciliation
Requirements:
Experience in Business Operations, FP&A/operational finance, program management, or similar roles, with ownership of planning cadences, budgets/forecasts, variance analysis, and executive reporting
Strong PMO and business operations skills, including building operating rhythms, running business reviews, managing cross-functional dependencies, and driving execution to closure
Advanced analytical and financial modeling skills, with the ability to synthesize complex data into clear insights and recommendations
Experience supporting cross-functional teams (e.g., product, engineering, GTM, operations) and partnering with leadership on business planning, performance management, and investment decisions
Proficiency in business planning processes (headcount, portfolio/program planning, budget governance) and scaling them effectively
Strong communication and presentation skills, with experience engaging senior leadership
Technical proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, ERP systems (e.g., SAP), and BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau), including building dashboards, integrating data sources, and automating reporting workflows
Experience with data validation, transformation, and analytics, with a mindset toward automation and continuous improvement
Curiosity and willingness to leverage emerging analytics and AI tools to enhance financial processes and decision-making
