About the role
The Vice President, Corporate FP&A owns TNC's consolidated financial plan - the enterprise budget, forecast, and long-range plan - pulling the Services and Deployment divisional plans into a single, board-ready view of the company. Reporting to the President & CFO, the role owns the corporate model, the management-reporting cadence, and the board and investor materials that carry TNC's financial story. It sets the enterprise KPI framework, partners with the divisional finance leads on roll-up and consistency, and works alongside Treasury / IR, Capital Markets, and Commercial & Project Finance to connect the plan to capital allocation and the equity story. This is the central FP&A engine of a company - it must produce institutional-grade planning and reporting while the business and the project portfolio grow underneath it.

• Enterprise KPIs & analytics. Define and maintain the enterprise KPI framework; ensure consistent metrics and definitions across divisions so consolidated results are comparable and decision-useful.
• Capital allocation & decision support. Support capital-allocation decisions, scenario and sensitivity analysis, and long-range capital planning in partnership with Treasury / IR, Capital Markets, and Commercial & Project Finance (deal economics).
• Institutional readiness. Build a scalable FP&A function with the forecasting, guidance, expectations modeling, and reporting cadence needed for the company's next stage of growth - working with Controllership and External Reporting, and help stand up the systems and processes to get there.
• Team & operating model. Lead and develop the corporate FP&A team; build a scalable, tech / AI-enabled planning function with wide spans and few layers.

Required Experience
