About the Company

We are partnering with a growing manufacturing company to identify a strategic and analytical FP&A Manager to lead financial planning, analysis, and reporting activities.

This opportunity offers high visibility to leadership and the chance to directly influence financial and operational outcomes.

  • Create and present monthly reporting decks comparing actuals to budget/forecast and explaining key variances.

  • Own and run the pricing model process (the "price board") to evaluate new business opportunities.

  • Partner with cross-functional teams including Sales, Operations, and Supply Chain to gather assumptions, validate inputs, and translate operational drivers into financial impact.

  • Deliver financial insights in clear, visual presentations that help non-financial stakeholders understand performance and make informed decisions.

  • Identify process improvements and help build out scalable reporting tools; familiarity with tools like Power BI is a plus.

  • Support the CFO and Director of FP&A in preparation for leadership meetings, board decks, and global reporting packages.

  • Oversee financial planning calendar, including annual planning and long-term strategy deliverables.

  • Collaborate with a Cincinnati-based team member

What You Bring

  • Minimum 8 years of experience in FP&A, with a focus on manufacturing or complex operational environments .

  • Strong understanding of inventory flows , cost structures , and volume forecasting .

  • Hands-on experience supporting the S&OP process and turning operational data into financial projections.

  • Proven ability to partner cross-functionally, challenge assumptions, and proactively identify and resolve inconsistencies in data or processes.

  • Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills; familiarity with forecasting/reporting tools like Adaptive is strongly preferred.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to "tell the story" behind the numbers to senior leadership.

Preferred Experience:

  • Prior exposure to global reporting standards and executive presentations.

  • Management experience is a plus

Leadership & Growth Opportunity
