Job description

Job Purpose:
Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS) is a next-generation power semiconductor leader driving innovation in gallium nitride (GaN) and high-voltage silicon carbide (SiC) technologies. Our products enable faster, more efficient power delivery across AI data centers, high-performance computing, energy and grid infrastructure, and industrial electrification.
With more than 30 years of combined expertise in wide bandgap technologies, GaNFast™ power ICs integrate GaN power, drive, control, sensing, and protection, delivering faster power delivery, higher system density, and greater efficiency. GeneSiC™ high-voltage SiC devices leverage patented trench-assisted planar technology to provide industry-leading voltage capability, efficiency, and reliability for medium-voltage grid and infrastructure applications.
We are seeking a strategic, hands-on FP&A Manager to lead operating expense forecasting, drive the Annual Operating Plan (AOP), and serve as a key financial partner for executive leadership. Reporting directly to the CFO, this role owns the company's operating expense forecast, three-statement model, and executive-level financial reporting, while being supported by an international FP&A team based in the Philippines.
The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, public-company environment, is fluent in three-statement modeling and investor-facing communication, and is passionate about applying AI and automation to modernize the finance function.
Key Responsibilities
  • Own the company-wide operating expense forecast, including monthly reforecasts, variance analysis, and long-range planning.
  • Lead the Annual Operating Plan (AOP) process, driving project-based expense planning across departments and consolidating inputs into a cohesive plan for CFO and executive review.
  • Build and maintain the three-statement financial model (Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Cash Flow), ensuring integrity across actuals, forecast, and scenario analysis.
  • Develop an international FP&A team based in the Philippines, setting priorities and reviewing deliverables.
  • Partner directly with operating expense budget owners to refine forecasts, pressure-test assumptions, and drive accountability on spend.
  • Support Investor Relations and earnings call preparation, including drafting supporting workbooks, refining messaging language, and preparing financial talking points for the CFO and executive team.
  • Create board-ready and executive-ready presentations and workbooks for Board of Directors meetings, executive staff reviews, and monthly business reviews.
  • Review general ledger entries and provide feedback to the accounting team to ensure accurate cost center coding, accruals, and close outputs.
  • Own and maintain several SOX controls within the FP&A scope, including documentation, execution, and coordination with internal and external auditors.
  • Drive data interoperability across ERP systems, reducing manual reconciliation and improving forecast accuracy.
  • Identify and implement AI-driven automation opportunities across FP&A workflows, including forecasting, reporting, variance commentary, and data consolidation.
  • Serve as a trusted finance partner to the CFO and executive team, translating financial data into clear, decision-ready narratives.

Preferred
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field and 5+ years of progressive FP&A experience, including operating expense ownership and three-statement modeling. Master's degree or MBA may substitute for one year of experience.
  • Prior experience in a public company environment, including exposure to SEC reporting cadence, earnings cycles, and investor-facing communication.
  • Demonstrated experience leading or managing an FP&A team, including remote or international team members.
  • Advanced three-statement modeling skills (Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Cash Flow) with strong understanding of the linkages between financial statements.
  • Experience owning an Annual Operating Plan (AOP) or equivalent budget process, including project-based expense planning.
  • Working knowledge of US GAAP and SOX control environments.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint; experience building executive- and board-level materials.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including comfort presenting to and drafting materials for C-suite and board audiences.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail.
  • Experience supporting rapidly growing global organizations.
  • Experience in the semiconductor, technology, or hardware manufacturing industry.
  • Experience supporting Investor Relations, earnings preparation, or drafting language for external financial communications.
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Paycom.
  • Demonstrated application of AI tools (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT, or FP&A-specific AI platforms) to automate finance workflows.
  • CPA, CFA, or equivalent professional designation.
