Overview

This role is part of a growing finance organization designed to provide embedded finance support within each business division. As Director, Operational Finance, you will serve as the embedded finance partner to a division’s CEO and leadership team—owning the division’s numbers, helping leaders make better decisions using those insights, and ensuring divisional activity is reflected accurately in company-wide planning.

You will report to the SVP of Finance, with a dotted-line relationship to your division’s CEO and the Head of FP&A. The position is an individual contributor role with significant visibility and a clear path for growth.

Responsibilities

Partner with divisional leadership: Act as the primary corporate finance and financial operations contact for your assigned division, working closely with the division CEO and executive team.
Drive consistency across divisions: Translate corporate FP&A reporting standards into division execution so metrics and definitions (e.g., bookings standardization, ARR-related metrics, and margin expansion) are applied consistently across divisions.
Shape the plan: Incorporate divisional context, assumptions, and priorities into the annual budget process run by Corporate Finance and keep the division aligned with company-wide planning cycles.
Assist with forecasting: Support divisional leadership with forecasting updates, performance tracking, and operational improvement; function as a financial chief of staff to the division CEO while staying aligned to Corporate Finance and overall company goals.
Flag risks early: Identify and escalate critical items, risks, and variances across bookings, retention, and costs to divisional leadership and the central FP&A organization; support resolution efforts.
Find efficiencies: Identify and drive operational efficiencies and develop topline cost-savings and upside opportunities with divisional leaders.
Own adjustment tracking: Track below-the-line (BTL) adjustment realization for your division and report progress to Corporate Finance to support lender and board reporting.
Support the close and reporting cycle: Provide divisional inputs to the monthly and quarterly close, perform variance analysis, and prepare divisional commentary for management and board reporting; deliver ad hoc analysis as needed.
Partner across the organization: Collaborate with shared services partners such as Deal Desk, Operations, AR, Sales Operations, and Sales Compensation to move the division forward and reduce friction.
Support M&A: Lead synergy identification and tracking for acquisitions that land in your division, and provide divisional input to Corporate Finance on diligence and integration into company financials.
