Key Responsibilities

Financial Planning, Forecasting & Decision Support

·    Lead the annual operating plan, long-range plan, rolling forecasts, scenario analysis, and monthly business performance reviews.

·    Develop integrated financial models covering operating expenses, workforce planning, capital expenditures, cash, and key operational drivers.

·    Improve forecast accuracy through driver-based planning, clear assumptions, disciplined risk and opportunity tracking, and post-forecast performance reviews.

·    Translate business dynamics into concise executive-level insights, recommendations, and decision alternatives.

·    Partner with leaders to evaluate investments, product and customer opportunities, cost actions, and resource trade-offs.

Process Transformation, Automation & AI Enablement

·    Assess current forecasting, budgeting, and reporting workflows; design standardized, scalable processes with clear ownership, controls, calendars, and service expectations.

·    Automate manual data preparation, forecast consolidation, reporting, and variance analysis using fit-for-purpose planning, analytics, workflow, and integration tools.

·    Apply experience with agentic AI, generative AI, machine learning, or intelligent automation to streamline planning activities, surface anomalies, generate first-draft variance narratives, and accelerate scenario analysis.

·    Establish appropriate human review, data security, documentation, and control practices for AI-enabled finance processes.

·    Define and track transformation outcomes such as planning cycle time, forecast accuracy, manual touchpoints, adoption, data quality, and decision speed.

Business Partnership & Cross-Functional Collaboration

·    Serve as a finance business partner to Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain, Product Management, Corporate Accounting, Human Resources, and other functional leaders.

·    Collaborate with international colleagues and teammates across time zones in a global, matrixed environment.

·    Challenge assumptions constructively, influence without direct authority, and align stakeholders around fact-based decisions and enterprise priorities.

·    Communicate complex financial and operational topics clearly to both finance and non-finance audiences.

Workforce Planning & Resource Allocation

·    Partner with Human Resources and business leaders to connect workforce plans with financial plans, operating priorities, and productivity objectives.

·    Develop headcount, compensation, hiring, attrition, vacancy, and organizational scenario models; improve visibility into workforce-related risks and opportunities.

·    Enable disciplined resource allocation by linking roles, skills, capacity, and costs to strategic outcomes.

Performance Management, Governance & Leadership

·    Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual performance reporting; identify trends, root causes, risks, opportunities, and corrective actions.

·    Support executive presentations, Board materials, and management reviews with accurate, decision-oriented analysis.

·    Partner with Accounting to ensure planning and reporting are aligned with company policies, financial controls, accounting standards, and audit requirements.

·    Lead, mentor, and develop finance professionals while fostering accountability, curiosity, inclusion, continuous learning, and operational excellence.

·    Promote collaboration and consistent practices across global finance and business teams.

Required Qualifications

·    Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Administration, Mathematics, or a related discipline.

·    7+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, operational finance, or related roles, including 3+ years of people leadership experience.

·    Demonstrated experience supporting a manufacturing, telecommunications, networking, technology, or similarly complex product-based business.

·    Strong command of budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, scenario planning, management reporting, and performance analysis.

·    Proven track record of building or redesigning finance processes and reducing manual work through automation, analytics, or workflow improvement.

·    Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and experience with business intelligence, enterprise resource planning, and financial planning platforms.

·    Ability to operate effectively when priorities, inputs, or business conditions are evolving; skilled at creating structure, clarifying assumptions, and moving decisions forward.

·    Excellent executive communication, cross-functional collaboration, stakeholder influence, organization, and problem-solving skills.

·    Experience working across functions and with international colleagues in a global or matrixed organization.

Preferred Qualifications

·    MBA, CPA, CMA, or another relevant advanced degree or professional certification.

·    Direct experience in telecommunications or network equipment, including hardware, software, services, supply chain, and project-based models.

·    Hands-on experience with SAP and SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), including planning, forecasting, analytics, reporting, dashboards, or data integration.

·    Practical experience using agentic AI, generative AI, machine learning, robotic process automation, or related capabilities in forecasting, budgeting, reporting, or decision support.

·    Experience with workforce planning and associated systems, data, and governance.

·    Experience supporting a publicly traded company and preparing executive or Board-level materials.

Leadership Profile

·    Builder: Creates scalable processes, standards, and capabilities rather than relying on workarounds.

·    Change leader: Brings others along, converts ideas into adoption, and balances speed with governance.

·    Enterprise thinker: Connects commercial, operational, people, and financial drivers to the broader business strategy.

·    Comfortable with ambiguity: Makes progress with incomplete information while clearly communicating assumptions, risks, and decision points.

·    Collaborative and globally minded: Builds trust across functions, levels, cultures, and geographies.

·    Hands-on and outcomes focused: Moves comfortably between strategic thinking, detailed analysis, and execution.
