POSITION SUMMARY

The Finance Business Partner (FBP) is the strategic finance lead for a specific pillar, responsible for pillar‑level planning, forecasting, performance management, and decision support. The role translates the financial architecture, costing methodologies, and profit allocation model into actionable plans and insights that help pillar leadership run a durable, scalable business. The FBP manages the Accounting Manager(s) and Pillar Finance Specialists, ensuring that daily transactional activity, close routines, and reporting are accurate and timely, while they personally focus on strategic analysis, AOP, forecasting, and executive‑level communication for the pillar.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The FBP serves as the dedicated financial lead for their pillar, responsible for delivering a pillar-ready financial structure that enables leaders to plan, monitor, and forecast performance effectively. This includes applying best-practice costing methodologies-such as ABC, standard costing, and manufacturing accounting where relevant-across the pillar''s product lines, while producing clear, trusted management reporting and KPIs by region and product line aligned to the AOP and strategic model. They support a transparent profit allocation approach so regional and corporate partners understand how 02S results roll back into regional performance, and they build and develop the support structure beneath them (Accounting Manager and Specialists) consistent with the goal of majority-dedicated finance support for each pillar.

• Pillar Financial Strategy, AOP & Forecasting: The FBP owns the full AOP and forecasting process for the pillar-spanning revenue, gross margin, G&A, operating profit, TAM capture, Op Profit / FTE, and headcount-in partnership with the Director, Finance and Internal Controls. They translate strategic model and TAM assumptions into practical annual and multi-year plans by region and product line, and lead scenario analysis for growth, capacity, CapEx, and pricing strategies that connect pillar economics to long-range targets and the enterprise AOP.
• Performance Management & Executive Reporting: The FBP defines and maintains the pillar performance dashboard-covering revenue, margin, TAM capture, utilization, adoption, and profit allocation-used in monthly and quarterly reviews with Leadership and the EC. They partner with Internal Controls and FP&A to ensure pillar results roll cleanly into enterprise reporting, including management reports, EC/board packages, and AOP vs. strategic model views. Beyond delivering numbers, they synthesize insights, risks, and opportunities for Pillar Leaders, Solutions Integration, and regional leadership, driving corrective actions and follow-through.
• Leadership of Pillar Finance Team: The FBP directly manages the Accounting Manager(s) and Pillar Finance Specialists, setting priorities, expectations, and development plans. They establish a standard operating model between the FBP and Accounting Manager roles, clearly identifying and separating key tasks between the two. They also ensure the team operates to consistent Finance standards-SOPs, close calendars, coding rules, and documentation-while remaining responsive to pillar-specific needs.
• Business Partnering & Decision Support: The FBP serves as the primary finance advisor to the Pillar Leader and product line owners, participating in pillar leadership meetings, AOP reviews, and strategic planning sessions. They provide structured decision support across product line economics and pricing, make/buy and insource/outsource decisions, CapEx investments and lifecycle economics, and capacity expansion and scaling plans. They also partner with Solutions Integration and regional finance to connect pillar plans to project margin plans and regional AOPs.
• Governance, Costing Methodologies & Profit Allocation: The FBP oversees the implementation of pillar-appropriate costing methodologies-traditional, ABC, manufacturing, EVA, and others-ensuring Accounting Managers and Specialists execute them correctly in CMiC/Anaplan. They co-own the design and continuous improvement of profit allocation approaches for the pillar, working closely with Internal Controls, Corporate Finance, and regional partners. They also ensure financial controls and policies are understood and enforced across the pillar, with regular feedback from audits, variance analyses, and exception reviews.
