ABOUT THE JOB

As Manager of Financial Operations & Reporting, you will own the "bearer of truth" function within FP&A: ensuring that actuals are clean, timely, and trustworthy so that our Finance Business Partners and Planning & Analytics team can focus on insights.

This is not a pure close coordinator role. You will diagnose and systematically eliminate the root causes of any close friction—PO errors, misclassifications, accrual gaps—and build the processes and controls that prevent them from recurring.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Financial Close Operations

• Own the SG&A month-end close calendar; coordinate deliverables across FP&A, Accounting, and business unit owners
• Manage PO review and correction workflows, reclass requests, and accrual support, while actively driving down the volume of these through upstream process improvement
• Serve as the primary FP&A liaison to the Controller's organization
• Document all close procedures into a living SOP library — converting tribal knowledge into repeatable, auditable process

Reporting & Data Integrity

• Own the SG&A reporting layer: consolidated actuals, variance packages, and monthly management reporting distributed to FBPs and the Head of FP&A
• Establish and enforce data standards--account mapping, cost center hierarchies, headcount definitions — so that every number leaving this team is reconciled, labeled, and trusted
• Build and maintain the SG&A reporting calendar; ensure FBPs receive timely, clean actuals
• Partner with P&A to design the reporting architecture in Oracle EPM--your close data feeds their forecast models
• Proactively flag anomalies in actuals before they surface in leadership reviews

Systems & Transformation

• Serve as FP&A's Oracle EPM power user and internal SME, triaging reporting issues, liaise with the implementation team, and ensure our chart of accounts and cost center structure supports both close and planning needs
• Lead FP&A's workstream in the Anaplan-to-Oracle Planning migration: data validation, model integrity, parallel run testing, and cutover
• Identify and drive Fin Ops improvement projects — PO automation, approval workflow optimization, spend categorization, in partnership with Procurement and Accounting
• Evaluate and recommend tooling enhancements that reduce manual work across the close-to-report cycle

People & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Build strong working relationships with the Controller, AP, and GL teams. The quality of our reporting depends on upstream accounting accuracy
• Represent FP&A in cross-functional process improvement forums (ERP, Procurement, etc.).

In your first 90 days:

• Close SOP documented for all SG&A functions; close calendar published and owned
• Oracle EPM reporting issues triaged and resolution timeline defined
• Working relationship established with Controllership team; initial draft of close responsibility matrix shared
• FBPs receiving clean actuals packages within 2 days of close

By end of year one:

• FP&A's manual close involvement reduced by 30%+ year-over-year
• Oracle Planning cutover completed; Anaplan decommissioned
• SG&A reporting fully automated in Oracle EPM; no manual deck builds for standard management reporting
• PO error and reclass rate measurably reduced through upstream process fixes

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 5-7 years in finance, with meaningful time in FP&A, financial reporting, or a finance operations role at a high growth technology company
• Oracle EP--hands-on experience, not just exposure. You've built or maintained reporting hierarchies, managed close processes in the system, and troubleshot data integrity issues
• Experience with at least one enterprise planning tool (Anaplan, Oracle Planning, Adaptive, or equivalent)
• Demonstrated track record of process improvement. You've identified a broken close or reporting workflow, diagnosed the root cause, and built the fix
• Strong understanding of accounting fundamentals (accruals, journal entries, cost center structure). You don't need to be a CPA, but you need to speak fluently with the Controller's team

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• 2-4 years in Big 4 audit or advisory (Transaction Advisory, Finance Transformation, or Business Performance Improvement) followed by an in-house FP&A or financial reporting role. This combination of process rigor and commercial context is the sweet spot for this position
• Experience at a high-growth technology company that was actively maturing its finance function
• Exposure to government contracting, defense, or hardware/software hybrid business models
• Familiarity with Oracle Fusion as a feeder system to EPM
