Director, FP&A

The Director of FP&A will serve as the strategic finance leader and primary business partner to the CFO, CEO, and executive leadership team. This role is responsible for driving enterprise-wide financial planning, forecasting, operational analytics, capital allocation, and long-range strategic decision-making across Strata’s operating companies, including multiple service organizations and Strata’s IPP and development business. This is not a traditional reporting role. The ideal candidate must proactively identify risks and opportunities, provide forward-looking guidance, challenge assumptions, and help leadership understand the trajectory of the business. The Director of FP&A must translate complex operational and financial data into actionable insights that drive profitability, liquidity, growth, and execution discipline. This position requires a highly analytical and operationally engaged finance leader who can operate at both strategic and tactical levels in a fast-paced, project-driven infrastructure business. This role will be responsible for Strata’s corporate model and long-term business planning.

• Lead the company’s annual budget, quarterly forecasts, and long-range financial planning processes across all operating companies.
• Serve as a strategic finance partner to the CFO, CEO, and executive leadership team by providing forward-looking financial guidance and actionable recommendations.

• Develop financial models, scenario analyses, and sensitivity analyses related to project execution, pipeline conversion, labor planning, margins, and business growth.
• Provide visibility into business performance, project profitability, backlog health, operational risks, and future financial trajectory.
• Partner with business unit leaders across EPC, Development, Procurement, Engineering, and Operations to improve financial accountability and operational decision-making.
• Drive forecasting accuracy and establish key performance indicators that proactively identify risks, operational bottlenecks, and opportunities across the business.
• Improve and standardize FP&A processes, project forecasting methodologies, and cost center management across the organization.
• Deliver concise, decision-oriented reporting to executive leadership, lenders, investors, and other stakeholders with a focus on insights, business risks, and strategic recommendations rather than historical reporting.
