The Role

You will own the financial performance of the PSS business unit and serve as the primary finance partner to senior operational leaders.

This is a build-and-scale opportunity—you’ll not only manage forecasting and reporting, but also improve processes, enhance visibility, and help shape how the business makes decisions.

• This role is intentionally hands-on, but with significant strategic influence and growth potential.
• This is not a purely managerial role—this leader is expected to personally own the financials and deliver the core analyses that drive the business.

What You’ll Do

Own the Business Financials

• Lead end-to-end financial oversight for PSS (Hub & Copay)
• Translate operational drivers into revenue, cost, and margin outcomes
• Provide clear insights on performance, risks, and opportunities
• Maintain direct ownership of the business unit income statement and underlying drivers (volume, pricing, cost structure)

Drive Forecasting & Performance

• Personally build and update forecast models, including key client-level assumptions and roll-ups
• Lead monthly Budget vs. Actual (BvA) analysis, including root cause investigation and clear articulation of drivers
• Improve forecast accuracy and transparency across the business

Influence Decisions & Improve Margins

• Regularly review and explain margin performance at both aggregate and program/client levels
• Identify and drive opportunities to improve financial performance
• Partner with leadership on pricing, volume, and cost decisions
• Build and support business cases to support investment initiatives proposed by the BU

Build & Scale the FP&A Function

• Establish structure and priorities for a growing FP&A team
• Directly manage an existing contractor supporting reporting and forecasting; an FP&A Analyst will be added after this role is onboarded
• Initially operate in a lean environment with limited leverage, requiring direct execution of core deliverables
• Improve reporting, reduce manual work, and drive automation by partnering with FP&A team to build out future FP&A tools (planning tools, AI, etc.)

Be a True Business Partner

• Work directly with Directors and VPs to support decision-making
• Translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insights
• Build strong credibility and influence across the organization
• Serve as the primary source of truth for financial performance, with the ability to confidently explain results and assumptions in detail

What You’ll Bring

• 10+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or similar
• Proven ownership of financials for a complex business unit
• Strong modeling, forecasting, and analytical skills (both standard and ad-hoc analysis)
• Ability to operate both strategically and in the details
• Experience building or managing small, high-impact teams
• Strong communication and business partnership skills
• Demonstrated willingness and ability to remain hands-on in a leadership role
• Prior experience implementing FP&A tools or AI solutions (nice to have)

What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months)

• Deep ownership and understanding of PSS financial performance
• Improved forecast accuracy and clarity into key drivers
• Strong partnership with business leaders (trusted advisor)
• Enhanced reporting and visibility into margins and profitability
• Scalable FP&A processes with reduced manual effort

• Clear, consistent ownership of BvA, forecasting, and margin explanations

Why This Role is Compelling

• High visibility – direct partnership with senior leadership
• Meaningful impact – influence revenue, cost, and margin decisions
• Growth opportunity – build and scale a critical finance function
• PE-backed environment – fast-paced, results-driven, high accountability
• Mission-driven work – improving access to life-changing therapies
