The role is a finance business partner to Facilities Operations leadership for forecasting, budgeting, monthly reporting, and performance analysis, and long‑range planning across the QTS operating portfolio.

· Partner with Accounting to analyze actual performance against budget and forecast, isolate key business drivers, and provide concise explanations of material variances.

· Develop portfolio‑level dashboards, scorecards, and key performance indicators that connect operational activity to financial performance.

· Assess trends in labor, repair and maintenance, utilities, security, national contracts, managed services, and other operating cost categories.

· Improve the timeliness, consistency, and executive readiness of Facilities Operations financial reporting.

Strategic Analysis and Decision Support

· Build business cases, scenario analyses, and sensitivity models for major portfolio level operational initiatives, vendor programs, organizational investments, and cost‑efficiency opportunities.

· Evaluate financial returns, portfolio impact, implementation risks, and measurable benefits associated with proposed operating initiatives.

· Support contract and sourcing decisions by helping validate baselines, savings assumptions, cost avoidance, and forecast implications.

· Provide financial insights that support operating model, resource prioritization, and portfolio growth decisions.

· Present findings and recommendations clearly to senior Finance and Operations leaders.

Process Improvement, Governance and Controls

· Standardize portfolio‑wide budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and variance‑analysis processes for Facilities Operations.

· Partner with Accounting to align management reporting with recorded results and resolve classification, accrual, timing, and data‑quality issues.

· Develop clear governance, approval pathways, documentation standards, and ownership expectations for significant operating initiatives and financial commitments.

· Identify opportunities to automate recurring analysis and reporting through planning systems and other enterprise tools.

· Maintain effective documentation, internal controls, and audit‑ready support for key financial assumptions and reporting outputs.

Leadership Expectations

· Lead cross‑functional work through influence, clear communication, and disciplined follow‑through.

· Build trusted relationships with executives, operating leaders, and finance partners across a geographically distributed portfolio.

· Develop scalable processes and tools that can support continued portfolio growth and increasing organizational complexity.

· Model sound judgment, ownership, accountability, confidentiality, and a continuous‑improvement mindset.

· Provide coaching and support to analysts or other team members assigned to Operations Finance initiatives, as applicable. Other duties as assigned.

What You Will Need to Be Successful: (Required Qualifications, Education, Experience, Certifications)

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

· At least 8 years of progressive experience in financial planning and analysis, operations finance, corporate finance, asset management, or a related discipline.

· Demonstrated experience leading budgeting, forecasting, management reporting, variance analysis, and financial modeling processes.

· Experience partnering directly with operational or functional leaders and converting business activity into financial insights and recommendations.

· Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and experience working with enterprise financial, planning, and reporting systems.

· Strong executive communication, presentation, and stakeholder‑management skills.

· Ability to manage multiple priorities, operate effectively with incomplete information, and deliver high‑quality work in a fast‑paced environment.

Nice to Have: (Preferred Qualifications, Education, Experience, Certifications)

· MBA, CPA, CFA, or other relevant advanced degree or professional credential.

· Experience in data centers, real estate, infrastructure, energy, utilities, industrial operations, or another asset‑intensive business.

· Experience supporting a large, rapidly growing, and geographically distributed operating organization.

· Proficiency with Power BI or similar business‑intelligence tools and experience improving or automating financial reporting processes.

· Experience evaluating vendor programs, service contracts, staffing models, operating efficiencies, and portfolio‑level cost drivers.

Other Key Skills: (KSAs)

· Ability to work in an agile fast passed environment.
