Job description

Team Summary

This Principal Financial Planning Analyst acts as the lead FP&A partner for IT (OPEX and CAPEX) and the NOA Latin America (LatAm) business (full P&L). The role is accountable for delivering rigorous financial insight, enabling investment decisions, and driving measurable improvements in forecast accuracy, process efficiency, and automation. The position operates with a high degree of autonomy and is expected to set the improvement agenda, not just execute against it.

Description Of Duties

• Own end‑to‑end FP&A support for IT financials, including OPEX forecasting, CAPEX planning, capitalization accuracy, depreciation impacts, and post‑investment ROI tracking.
• Own full Latin America P&L management, including revenue, margin, FX impacts, pricing decisions, cost control, and scenario/sensitivity analysis.
• Serve as a strategic finance partner to IT and LatAm leadership, challenging assumptions and translating complex data into decision‑ready insights.
• Lead budget, forecast, and long‑range planning processes for assigned areas, including risks, opportunities, and scenario modeling.
• Build and maintain advanced financial models supporting business cases, pricing strategies, and new initiatives.
• Design and implement automation and self‑service reporting solutions, primarily using Excel (Power Query) and BI tools such as Tableau or Power BI.
• Works confidently with underlying databases and financial systems, including understanding data structures, master data (e.g. cost centers, product hierarchies), and impacts on reporting and analysis.
• Establish governance around investment decisions, including business case reviews and post‑implementation performance tracking.
• Independently identify and lead process improvement and change initiatives across FP&A and cross‑functional partners.
• Deliver clear, concise executive‑level communications, dashboards, and presentations.

Summary Of Requirements

• Minimum of 8 years of progressive FP&A or finance business partnering experience.
• Proven experience owning full P&L responsibilities and/or IT finance (OPEX & CAPEX).
• Advanced financial modeling skills with a demonstrated ability to personally execute automation and analytical solutions.
• Strong business judgment and the ability to influence senior leaders without formal authority.
• Experience working with large datasets, databases, BI tools (Tableau/Power BI), and enterprise financial systems; solid understanding of data structures and master data usage.
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or related field (MBA a plus).

What Success Looks Like

• Forecasts are trusted, driver‑based, and decision‑ready.
• IT investments are governed with clear ROI and benefit realization.
• LatAm leadership receives actionable insights that directly shape pricing, margin, and growth decisions.
• Manual effort is reduced through automation and standardized reporting.
• FP&A is viewed as a value‑adding business partner, not a reporting function.
