Senior Manager, Commercial Finance & FP&A

Location: Indianapolis, IN (Hybrid - 3 days onsite)

Compensation: $130,000 - $175,000 base + 15% target bonus

Pinnacle Partners is working with a large, global technology and manufacturing organization seeking a Senior Manager of Commercial Finance & FP&A to support a growing and highly profitable business unit.

This is a high-visibility opportunity for someone who enjoys working closely with business leadership, influencing decisions, and helping drive financial performance. The ideal candidate brings a strong FP&A foundation but is equally comfortable thinking strategically, challenging assumptions, and translating financial data into meaningful business recommendations.

This isn't a role focused solely on reporting results. We're looking for someone who wants to help shape them.

What You'll Be Doing

• Serve as a key finance partner to senior commercial and operational leadership, providing financial insight to support business strategy and decision-making.
• Lead budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning activities for a growing business unit.
• Analyze revenue trends, pricing, profitability, and margins to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Partner closely with Sales and business leadership to evaluate commercial opportunities, strategic initiatives, and investment decisions.
• Develop financial models, business cases, and performance metrics to support growth and operational efficiency.
• Translate complex financial information into clear, actionable recommendations for executive leadership.
• Collaborate across Finance, Sales, and Operations within a large, multinational organization.
• Support ongoing process improvements and financial reporting enhancements.
• Provide guidance and leadership to a financial analyst.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field; MBA preferred.
• Approximately 7-10+ years of progressive finance experience, including a strong FP&A background.
• Demonstrated experience partnering directly with Sales, Commercial, or Business Unit leadership.
• Strong understanding of budgeting, forecasting, revenue analysis, pricing, and profitability.
• Experience within a manufacturing, industrial, technology, or similarly complex business environment strongly preferred.
• Ability to communicate effectively with senior executives and influence business decisions.
• Strong financial modeling and analytical skills, including advanced Excel proficiency.
• Experience working within a large or multinational organization preferred.
• Familiarity with ERP systems and financial reporting tools; SAP, Power BI, or similar systems a plus.
• A proactive, commercially minded approach with the confidence to challenge assumptions and offer recommendations.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• High visibility: Work directly with senior business leadership and play an active role in financial and commercial strategy.
• Meaningful influence: Go beyond traditional reporting and help shape decisions that impact revenue, profitability, and growth.
• Growing business: Join an established global organization with an evolving mix of products, technology, and services.
• Career development: Opportunity to expand leadership responsibilities and grow within a sophisticated finance organization.
• Competitive compensation: Base salary up to $175K, plus 15% target bonus.
• Hybrid schedule: Three days per week onsite in Indianapolis.

This is an excellent opportunity for a strong FP&A or Commercial Finance professional looking for broader business exposure, increased strategic involvement, and a seat at the table with senior leadership.
