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.

The role is essential to bridging the gap between the accounting, cost, and operational teams-playing a pivotal role in budgeting, forecasting, decision support, and executive reporting. This opportunity offers high visibility to leadership and the chance to directly influence financial and operational outcomes.

Role Overview

This is a highly collaborative and cross-functional position that requires both strong technical expertise and business acumen.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage the forecasting and budgeting process, including scenario modeling and monthly updates.

  • Financialize volume and operational forecasts from the S&OP process into revenue and profitability projections.

  • 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

Must-Have Experience:

  • 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

  • Reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer

  • Will manage and collaborate with a long-tenured financial systems analyst (remote) who supports data integrity and system workflow

This is a high-impact role for someone ready to own the FP&A function and shape decision-making at the leadership level. If you're a proactive thinker with strong manufacturing knowledge and a passion for turning numbers into strategy, we'd love to hear from you.
