Major Food Group is hiring an experienced FP&A leader to join our team! This will be a Director or Vice President level role depending on experience.
The Head of FP&A is responsible for leading the strategic direction of all financial planning and analysis activities across the enterprise. Reporting directly to the CFO, this role will serve as a key financial partner to executive leadership and ownership, and the Board - driving clarity and rigor around the Company's financial performance, long-range trajectory, and capital priorities.
The Head of FP&A will own the Company's budgeting process, monthly and quarterly reporting cycle and long-term planning model, while building the analytical frameworks needed to support competitive benchmarking and executive decision-making. This is a high-visibility role for a finance leader who combines technical depth with executive presence and thrives in the dynamic environment of a world-class hospitality company.

Build scenario and sensitivity analyses to support capital allocation decisions and strategic trade-offs
Partner with the CFO, Chief Business Officer and ownership on long-range strategic planning, translating the Company's vision into multi-year financial roadmaps
Continuously evolve the core enterprise operating model to reflect MFG's growing portfolio and organizational structure
Monthly & Quarterly Reporting

Prepare and distribute management reporting packages - including P&L, KPIs, labor analytics, cover metrics, and weekly scorecards - to senior leadership
Lead forecast updates, reforecasting revenue, costs, and EBITDA based on current trends and emerging risks
Drive continuous improvement of reporting infrastructure, cadences, and tools to improve speed, accuracy, and analytical depth
Competitive Benchmarking
Partner with Chief Operating Officer and Chief Business Officer to conduct ongoing competitive benchmarking across restaurant and hospitality peers, tracking key financial and operational metrics including revenue per cover, labor ratios, food cost percentages, and four-wall EBITDA margins
Synthesize external market intelligence and industry trends into actionable insights and strategic recommendations for MFG leadership
Build and maintain a competitive intelligence framework to contextualize MFG's financial performance against the broader fine dining and luxury hospitality landscape
Executive & Board Reporting
