Data Analysis Manager Jobs in Oklahoma (NOW HIRING)

The Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis supports the Chief Compliance Officer by providing financial insight and analysis focused on Milestone's assisted living communities. Reporting to the Chief Compliance Officer, this role builds and maintains financial models, monitors community-level performance, and uses sound judgment to identify opportunities for business improvement across the assisted living portfolio.

This is a hands-on analytical role with portfolio-wide visibility. The FP&A Manager provides direct analytical support to community leadership and the Senior Leadership team on matters related to independent living, assisted living, and memory care financial performance, and serves as the coordination point between Milestone, its communities, and third party accounting services on payables and general accounting matters. The role balances rigorous analysis with operational partnership: models are built to be used, reporting is distributed proactively rather than on request, and anomalies are surfaced early enough to be corrected.

The FP&A Manager exemplifies Milestone's three core values — Compassion, Innovation, and Accountability — in every interaction with Team Members, community leaders, vendors, and Support Center partners. Financial work in senior living is never abstract: every number represents a resident's home, a Team Member's schedule, and a community's ability to deliver care.

• Build, own, and maintain the financial models, forecasts, and reporting used for community-level and portfolio-level performance monitoring across independent living, assisted living, and memory care.

• Define the metrics, KPIs, formats, and distribution cadence of recurring financial reporting to community and senior leadership, subject to review by the Chief Compliance Officer.

• Request, review, and challenge financial information produced by third party accounting services, and coordinate resolution of payables and general accounting issues between the third party firm, the Support Center, and communities.

• Monitor community-level performance against budget, forecast, and prior period, and explain variance drivers in clear operational terms.

• Ensure reporting is accurate, consistently formatted, and delivered on a reliable cadence that leaders can plan around.

• Support initiatives to improve and automate tools and systems for forecasting and reporting for the Milestone community portfolio.

• Maintain model documentation, version control, and source-data integrity so analysis is reproducible and auditable.

• Leverage Yardi, Yardi Elevate, Yardi 7s, and advanced Excel capability to reduce manual effort and improve data reliability.
