The Opportunity

A private equity–backed environmental consulting and logistics company ($600M–$1B revenue) is seeking a Director of FP&A to serve as the CFO’s right-hand partner and lead all enterprise-wide FP&A activities. The business is executing a defined value-creation plan with a 2–4 year exit timeline.

This is a hands-on, high-visibility role for an FP&A leader coming from a high-pressure, performance-driven environment (PE-backed or equivalent) who wants full ownership of financial planning, analytics, and executive-level reporting, with the opportunity to build a team as the organization scales.

Role Scope & Responsibilities

Own all company-wide FP&A, including annual budget, rolling forecasts, long-range planning, and scenario modeling across a complex, multi-line business.
Develop and maintain integrated financial models supporting growth initiatives, margin improvement, capital allocation, and exit readiness.
Lead monthly executive and Board-level reporting, including KPI dashboards, variance analysis, and performance narratives for senior leadership and PE sponsors.
Act as a strategic finance partner to the CFO, providing insight into risks, opportunities, and value-creation levers.
Partner closely with VPs and Directors across operations, consulting, logistics, sales, and corporate functions to drive performance visibility and accountability.
Collaborate with IT to streamline, automate, and scale reporting and analytics, improving data quality, speed, and decision usefulness.
Support M&A, integration, synergy tracking, and diligence activities as applicable.
Design the future-state FP&A organization and hire/build a team as the business grows.

Candidate Profile

10+ years of progressive FP&A experience, with meaningful exposure at the enterprise level.
Prior experience in PE-backed, transaction-oriented, or similarly high-pressure environments is required.
Demonstrated success supporting $600M–$1B revenue organizations with complex operations.
Extensive experience presenting to executive teams and Boards.
Strong financial modeling, forecasting, and analytical capabilities; able to operate strategically while remaining highly hands-on.
Track record of improving FP&A processes, systems, and reporting through automation and standardization.
MBA preferred; CPA or CFA a plus.
