Job Description:

Do you want to become part of the Hunter Douglas DREAM?

Hunter Douglas is the global market leader in window coverings, operating across 136 entities over 100 countries.

Hunter Douglas is looking for a technical FP&A Lead with a passion for systems, data architecture, and scalable automation. This role goes far beyond classic reporting—it’s about building the infrastructure and tools that power modern, insight-led decision making. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our financial future, helping leaders across the division make smarter, faster, and more informed decisions.

You'll lead FP&A in a company that’s exploring how big data, automation, and AI can elevate financial planning. Whether it’s building predictive models, refining data pipelines, or embedding forecasting logic directly into tools, this role is designed for someone with technical competence and creative curiosity.

Key responsibilities:

Forecasting & Performance Insight

• Lead the Monthly Performance Review process for the division, coordinating input from business and functional teams and setting clear guidelines.
• Partner with department heads to build cost plans, headcount forecasts, and investment strategies.
• Build and maintain structured, dynamic financial models to support scenario planning and long-term planning.
• Support our Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB) methodology with thoughtful financial frameworks and business challenge.

Performance Analysis

• Analyze financial performance (monthly, quarterly, YTD) versus budget and prior year, surfacing key trends, risks, and opportunities.
• Translate financial results into business insights that help senior stakeholders make better decisions.
• Develop and evolve KPIs to monitor performance across operations and functions.
• Deliver clear and compelling analysis in Excel and PowerPoint—clarity and simplicity are key

Business Partnering

• Collaborate with teams across sales, operations, marketing, and HR to ensure financial plans are grounded in reality and aligned with business priorities.
• Influence stakeholders with data-backed insights, helping shape decisions and actions.
• Act as a trusted finance partner—curious, pragmatic, and commercially savvy.

Interested in this role? Here’s what we’re looking for:

• 6–8 years of experience, ideally with 2–4 years in an FP&A, commercial finance, or business planning role.
• Excellent Excel modeling skills. You are quick, structured, and creative in how you build, maintain, and communicate financial models.
• Strong attention to detail—accuracy matters—but you don’t lose sight of the broader narrative.
• Able to distill complexity into clarity. You simplify, prioritize, and communicate effectively.
• Confident presenting to senior stakeholders and influencing decisions with your insights.
• Ambitious and hard-working, with a hands-on mindset and strong business curiosity.
• Experience with financial systems, ERP data, and BI tools (e.g., Power BI) is a plus—but not essential.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you. Please apply by submitting your resume/CV.

At Hunter Douglas, you’ll be part of a forward-thinking team committed to excellence. We offer a supportive environment for professional growth, competitive compensation, and the opportunity to make a real difference.
